Movietoid continues: Kane & Lynch to get film photo

It hasn't even been released yet, but the rather awesome looking co-op shooter, Eidos' Kane and Lynch, is looking to hop on board the movie gravy train. A director has almost signed on the dotted line as well, Jieho Lee, who made The Air I Breathe, a movie I have not seen which means it doesn't matter, but the creepy, date rapist lookalike Kevin Bacon was in it, apparently.

From what has been shown of the video game, there's plenty of scope to make a dark, violent, gritty film out of it, and for some reason, I really think they should get Robert Patrick to play Kane.

This is one in a goodly line of video game based movies coming out lately. I will now be an elite gaming snob and declare that they all SUCK! Ooh, that felt so aloof.

Aw, nuts. Is this the first time a film has been announced before the game has been released? Well, gotta pay for those nex gen graphics some how, i suppose. Bad character choice for the hairy dude though, he looks to scared and young. I think his hair needs to be more wirey.

I'm pretty sure that's actual game art, mang.

What happened to waiting until a license was popular before expanding it into other media?

I wish studios would wait for an established franchise before trying to adapt it into a film. I'm still excited for the game regardless.

Is it wrong that Kane looks more unbalanced and insane than the supposedly unbalanced and insane Lynch?

I just noticed something.

Follow the link back to Ain't it Cool News, and look at the Kane & Lynch picture in the article.

Can you find Agent 47 in that pic?
