RUMOUR : Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton to play Kane & Lynch

 

From Ars Technica

_________________________________________________________________________

 

The Times Online is running a story about the upcoming Kane & Lynch feature film, suggesting that Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton are being considered for the title roles.

 

The Times Online piece—which reads more like something E! or TMZ would have written—neither claims to be reporting definitive information, nor does it name any sources. It simply states, "Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton are said to be in the running to play Kane and Lynch." I'm curious as to who it was that "said" that. For all anyone knows, it was something Jimmy mentioned in the break room last Thursday.

 

According to the same piece, Michael Bay has also signed on to produce the film. This, too, is conjecture at best. File this one under "definitely still a rumor," right along with Marvel Universe Online's demise.

 

I may not believe everything I read, but I will go far enough to say that Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton would be excellent casting for a Kane & Lynch film, and this certainly seems like something Michael Bay would be involved in. More details to follow as they firm up (or don't).

 

 

Ben's Thoughts

 

While Mr. Neuls may be taking this with as big of a grain of salt as I've ever seen, I only have this to say: I would see this rumored film. Oh, yes.

Kane & Lynch Site Fibbing About Reviews, Scores

It's not like the relationship between Kane & Lynch and review scores wasn't messy enough. But now this? Visitors to the game's official site will notice, once the page's flash intro is done, that two review scores for the game are flashed for your perusal. One from GameSpy, one from Game Informer. Both look positively glowing! Both give the game a very encouraging five stars! Thing is, both are...well, not real. They're fabricated. Lies, if you will.

 

GameSpy did not say "It's the best emulation of being in the midst of a Michael Mann movie we've ever seen" in their review of the game. They said that in their E3 2007 coverage. In other words, a preview. They also did not give the game five stars. They gave it three.

 

As for Game Informer, same deal. The highlighted quote does not appear in the review of the game. Nor do they give it five stars. Game Informer don't even score in stars. They gave it a 7/10.

 

To assist you in correcting your error, Eidos, and you in procuring all the necessary facts, dear reader, attached below are how the two review selections should appear.

Did We Give Kane & Lynch 5 Stars?

With review integrity in crisis, who can you trust? Not those score whores at Kotaku, that's for sure. Not only did they give Kane & Lynch a glowing endorsement in their exclusive review, they went and gave it a perfect five star rating! Or, least Eidos seem to think so. For those curious, the quote actually comes from Joel's hands-on time with the game at E3. In July. Where no stars were handed out. Not even one. Oh Eidos.
