Adrian Askarieh, producer of the somewhat successful Hitman movie (adapted from the video game franchise, if you couldn’t figure that out), spoke with GameDaily recently about an upcoming sequel, as well as an independently-produced Just Cause adaptation. Maybe that excites you; maybe not. But what intrigued moi was the bomb Askarieh dropped concerning a Kane and Lynch movie—specifically the role of Kane.

Ladies and gentlemen, for your consideration: Bruce Willis.

Yes, that Bruce Willis. Askarieh says Willis read the script and though it was “one of the best action scripts he’s ever read” and that he’s excited to get to work. Willis did work on three of the greatest action flicks ever made—Die Hard, Die Hard 2: Die Harder, and Die Hard With a Vengeance (the fourth one was…yeah, not gonna talk about that)—so he kind of knows what he’s talking about.

Then again, the Kane and Lynch game wasn’t exactly a blockbuster success. Critics  pretty much hated it (one may have lost his job because he hated it so much), and gamers all but dismissed it. So why a movie? Is this really what gamers want out of an adaptation? Is this even the game we wanted adapted?

Wait, why am I trying to understand the actions of a Hollywood producer? I could be here all day trying to decipher this dude’s mind. Considering the source material is kind of crap, these guys have nowhere to go but up. You folks remember that when the Kane and Lynch movie comes out and is somehow worse than the game.
