To me, Kane & Lynch seems like an ideal candidate for the whole game-to-movie conversion process. You strip out the technical and mechanical issues, and hopefully, hopefully, you have an interesting story. Jamie Foxx and Bruce Willis are still on board, after all.
Unfortunately, the same can't be said of the film's director. Patrick Alessandrin (District 13: Ultimatum) is no longer attached to Kane & Lynch -- and the planned October start date has been pushed into "TBD" territory. Yikes.
According to the Los Angeles Times, three directors are being considered: Wayne Kramer (Running Scared), F. Gary Gray (Law Abiding Citizen, The Italian Job), and Antoine Fugua (Brooklyn's Finest). Of those, I suppose Gray sticks out to me the most. Who would be your ideal director for Kane & Lynch?

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

He's the only one who could do the source material justice.
Anyway, I vote for Kevin Smith. Dude's a pro at directing Bruce Willis + Black Dude movies.
At least unlike with a Bioshock/MGS movie there's no danger of an intricate engaging plot being ruined here.
I'm just saying that only Uwe Boll would be able to treat the source material with the level of respect and seriousness that it deserves.
Jamie Foxx is terrible.
I wish theyd just let this horrible series die. That "REAL IS BLOOD IN YOUR TEETH" ad made my eyes roll so hard I thought I was having a seizure.
Or..........Ice Cube. He can do it.
Did anyone see The Town? Was that any good? Get Ben Affleck to do it.
I'm Xzyliac Ariel III and I approve this comment.
Then Bruce Willis will die.
Yep, same here
I'd pick Michael Mann myself. But that will probably never happen.
