Kane & Lynch Movie To Star … Jamie Foxx

by Jeff Cork on Mar 19, 2010 at 04:15 AM

Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Foxx will be tacking on the role of James Lynch in the upcoming screen adaptation of IO Interactive’s Kane & Lynch. According to Shacknews, the casting tidbit was revealed on Twitter by Kyle Ward, the film’s screenwriter, in a post that said simply, “Done deal … Jamie Foxx is in.” Bruce Willis is playing the part of Adam “Kane” Marcus in the movie.

Foxx may not have been the most obvious casting choice, but he’ll likely get the attention of moviegoers who might not otherwise be interested in the movie. What do you think? Does it make sense to expand casting for the movie beyond lookalikes? Do you think Kane & Lynch’s story lends itself to a film in the first place?
