Lionsgate Adapts Another Video Game: Kane and Lynch
February 13, 2007
by Alex Billington
From Variety, Lionsgate has bought the rights to produce a film adaptation of the Eidos game called Kane & Lynch. The odd thing is that the game isn't even out for gamers yet, but is set for release on June 19th. The game itself sounds fairly intriguing and may make for a quality movie in the end, especially under Lionsgate. In Kane & Lynch, Kane is a mercenary and Lynch is a schizophrenic and the two meet while being transported to death row and are attacked and kidnapped. The images of the game look like these are some hard-hitting heavy-weapon packing guys. Unfortunately it's probably a very long ways out, given the game isn't even out until June 19th and not much at all is known about it besides Lionsgate purchasing the rights.
