Set for release this summer, IO Interactives Kane & Lynch franchise is not only moving from videogame to motion-picture, but is also set to receive a graphic novel spin-off. Labelled as suitable for mature readers only, the graphic novel is simply titled Kane & Lynch.
The troubled film adaptation of Kane & Lynch has suffered another setback, with director Simon Crane pulling out of the project at the last minute. Again. Crane was the first director attached to the project, announced last May, before quitting, citing differences with the production company. He was brought back on board late last year, but has now left again.

Just before production was set to begin on the silver screen adaptation of Kane & Lynch, Patrick Alessandrin's name was erased from the director's chair. With Bruce Willis and Jamie Foxx already signed up for the leading roles, it seemed as though everything was coming together. Filming was slated to begin in October, but now production won't begin until well into 2011...
Everyone in the gaming world is anxiously awaiting(?) the Kane & Lynch movie, but the project seems to have stalled when it comes to choosing a director. Last we heard, Patrick Alessandrin, the director of excellent French action-flick District 13: Ultimatum was onboard to direct, but he's apparently out of the picture. This pushes back the start date of production at least into 2011.
