Bruce Willis to star in Kane & Lynch movie

brucewillis

Adrian Askarieh has told Game Daily that Bruce Willis will play Kane in the upcoming Kane & Lynch movie. The role of Lynch is yet to be cast.

“The script has been incredibly well-received around town,” said Askarieh. “After Bruce Willis read it, he called it one of the best action scripts he’s ever read, and Bruce is an expert in terms of action scripts because he’s read everything over the last 20 years.”

Sounds awesome. Shooting’s set to start in March. There’s more on EG.

Uh no. The guy can barely stand let alone speak. He may be the Prince of Darkness but all those years of drinking and drugs have finally caught up to him.

Wait a minute, Phoenixblight. Ozzy is a LOT better than you might remember from his MTV show. A Dr. watched him take his pills on the show and called Sharon to tell her that looked like way too much. She went to him for a second opinion and that Dr. took Ozzy off all but like 2-3 of his drugs and he is a human again. Just saw him on Graham Norton and he was hilarious and you could pretty much understand him (I’m American and I could understand him) and he was funny as hell and sharp. Of course if you have played Brutal Legend (if not then shame on you) you will know he sounds great.

Anyway, I digress…Willis brings a serious gravitas to the movie. I’m stoked. Was the game any good?

The game was mediocre at best had a good story just the gameplay was lacking.

On the comment on Ozzy I went to blizcon and you could barely understand him not sure if what you said happened after but he looked like he could barely stand.

I have Brutal Legend and ofcourse you could understand him he could have tried saying billion different times and all they needed him to say it once. Look I am huge fan of Ozzy doesn’t mean I worship his every move especially with some of his habits he has.
