"Bruce Willis will star as Kane, and we're about to start casting Lynch," said Askarieh. "It's not going to have every sequence from the game, but it's essentially the story of a mercenary teaming up with a schizophrenic psychopath to save his wife and daughter."

"The script has been incredibly well-received around town," he boasts. "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."

IO Interactive is currently developing a sequel titled Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days.
