Foxx Teams Up With Willis for ‘Kane & Lynch’

Simon Crane is directing Kyle Ward’s adaptation of the Eidos Entertainment video game

The eagle eyes at Coming Soon noticed a St. Patrick’s Day scoop just waiting to be found on Twitter.

Budding screenwriter Kyle Ward revealed on his Twitter account (@Kyle_Ward) that Jamie Foxx will play James Lynch in Millennium Films/Lionsgate’s adaptation of the Eidos Entertainment video game "Kane & Lynch: Dead Men," which veteran stunt coordinator Simon Crane will direct from Ward’s script. The tweet has since been deleted.

Shedding further light on the project, Deadline New York reports that Foxx’s Lynch is a schizophrenic psychopath who teams up with framed mercenary Adam ‘Kane’ Marcus (Bruce Willis) to recover a doomsday device within 72 hours while also trying to rescue Kane’s wife and daughter, who have been kidnapped by his former compadres.
