It's been a long time since we've seen any movement on the big screen adaptation of the video game Kane & Lynch. The project has been in and out of development a few years. The latest news is that Gerard Butler is in talks to join the project as Kane. The reports also say that Millennium films is looking to get Vin Diesel in the role of Lynch, but there's no information on how that is progressing.
F. Gary Gray (The Italian Job, Be Cool) is still set to direct the film. Before today's announcement, Bruce Willis and Jamie Foxx were supposed to star, but that obviously didn't pan out. Gary and Butler both worked together on the film Law Abiding Citizen.
The story follows Adam "Kane" Marcus, a mercenary who makes an unlikely alliance with a schizophrenic killer named James Lynch. The duo is forced on a mission to retrieve a stolen microchip.

Punk band Dropkick Murphys formed in Massachusetts in the '90s, long celebrating their love for the city of Boston with live albums nodding to Fenway Park and singles with names like "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" and "The State of Massachusetts."

The band was able to reach $65,000 in the first 15 hours of sales, approaching the $100,000 mark soon after.
