Bruce Willis in Talks to Star in Kane & Lynch Film

These are hectic days for Bruce Willis, who is close to signing a deal with 20th Century Fox to play Hannibal Smith in the big screen remake of The A-Team, while also negotiating with Lionsgate to star in the big screen adaptation of "Kane and Lynch." Variety reports:

Simon Crane will make his feature directing debut after serving as second unit director and stunt coordinator on such films as "Hancock," "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," "Troy" and "X-Men: The Last Stand."

Willis will play Adam "Kane" Marcus, a mercenary who makes an unlikely alliance with schizophrenic killer James Lynch. The pair are forced on a mission to retrieve a stolen microchip. The vidgame has sold 2 million copies worldwide since its launch in November.

Kyle Ward wrote the script. Filmmakers are now looking to set an actor to play Lynch, and shooting will begin before year's end.
