It's the story of a mercenary teaming up with a schizophrenic psychopath to save his wife and daughter

Willis, 54, will play Adam 'Kane' Marcus, a convicted murderer who is kidnapped by his former employers while being bussed to death row. He teams up with "schizophrenic psychopath" James Seth Lynch in a twist that sees heroes who are as sociopathic as the villains.

Askarieh said: "Kane and Lynch is a great buddy action movie."

"It's the story of a mercenary teaming up with a schizophrenic psychopath to save his wife and daughter".

'Bad Santa' star and Angelina Jolie's ex, Billy Bob Thornton, is rumoured to be in the running to play Lynch.

It's not the first time Willis has been involved in video games. In 1998, his voice and likeness were used for the hero of the Playstation game 'Apocalypse'.
