Kane & Lynch Movie With David Harbour Was Envisioned But It's "Never Gotten Anywhere," Director Says

Years ago, Jamie Foxx and Bruce Willis were set to play the leads.

Nobody 2 director Timo Tjahjanto has revealed he wanted to make a movie based on 2007's Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, but it never went anywhere.

Posting on social media, Tjahjanto said he wrote a "short treatment" for a Kane and Lynch movie a few years ago. He said he envisioned Stranger Things star David Harbour and James Badge Dale for the leads.

However, like many projects in Hollywood, nothing ever came of this. "Never gotten anywhere," Tjahjanto said of the movie's prospects today (via GamesRadar).

In 2010, it was reported that a Kane & Lynch movie was in the works, starring Jamie Foxx as Lynch and Bruce Willis as Kane. It obviously never happened.

Kane & Lynch was released in 2007 for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, telling the story of two mercenaries and their criminal exploits. A sequel, Kane & Lynch: Dog Days, came out in 2010. Both were developed by IO Interactive, which also makes the Hitman games and is now working on a James Bond project.

As for Nobody 2, the action movie starring Bob Odenkirk and written by John Wick's Derek Kolstad releases in theaters this August.
