Somehow I can't imagine this going down in my head and working. Bruce Willis in Kane & Lynch as Kane? Yeah, I could easily see that. But the sly singer/songwriter/comedian/actor in this game adaptation doesn't compute yet. And get this: he's playing James Lynch. This is really happening.
Movie screenwriter Kyle Ward dropped the news on Twitter: "Done deal... Jamie Foxx is in."
Whatever. I don't know. The dude is talented. I just can't shake the crazy-faced homeless cello player image that easily. Blind singing piano player too. Maybe Lynch will use a trumpet as a weapon in the film.

HE AIN'T A NEGRA IN THE GAME, WHY THEY DUN GONE 'N DONE THIS TO HIM?
Honestly, I don't know how the game got away with it. People who don't know much about the game may think it's racist. He should have been black from the get go, or changed his name.
Damn, D-Toid. What is there not to understand? Another shitty game about to made into a shitty movie.

Which, you really can't because even though I think Foxx is cool I'm passing on this.
Kane or Lynch, aren't.
