The Lionsgate adaptation of the Eidos video game is expected to begin shooting this year.

Variety reports that Bruce Willis is in negotiations to star in Lionsgate's movie adaptation of Eidos' Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, which to date has sold two million copies worldwide.

Willis will play the role of Adam "Kane" Marcus, a merc who forms an alliance with schizophrenic murderer James Lynch. The role of Lynch isn't currently cast, although the filmmakers are now actively seeking an actor to fill the part.

Simon Crane will make his feature film directorial debut, having previously worked as second unit director and stunt coordinator on pictures including Troy and X-Men: The Last Stand.

Shooting for the movie is expected to start towards the end of the year.

Billy Bob Thorton is perfect for Lynch. They're both famous actors, as well. So, They'll get more mo-ola that way. He'd just have to get Lynch's haircut, which nobody really wants.

I fear for whomever plays Lynch. They'll have to truly drive themselves insane, then put out an amazing prefomance. Afterwards, they will die and it will be awful. Sound familiar? But the broken nose has a certain beauty to it. Kane breaking it a gain would bring a nice "oh F@#k! Not my F@#king nose again!" moment.

Bruce Willis for Kane is excellent..

For Lynch, they should cast Jack Nicholson.....he'd be perfect....
