	Bruce Willis in talks to portray Kane in Kane & Lynch film According to Variety, Bruce Willis has been attached to the Hollywood movie adaptation of Eidos Interactive's video game Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.

	John Carmack talks about Quake Live (and Crysis?) It's been a while since we have heard anything about the development of Quake Live, the upcoming free web-based version of id Software's first person shooter Quake III Arena. PC Gamer (via GamesRadar) managed to chat with id's master programmer himself, John Carmack, about the game.

According to Variety, Bruce Willis has been attached to the Hollywood movie adaptation of Eidos Interactive's video game Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. He's been selected to play Kane. The studio (Lionsgate) is still looking for someone to fill the role of Lynch.

The producers of the film have already adapted a video game to the big screen: they helmed the production of 2007's Hitman, another Eidos game. The film will be written by unknown screenwriter Kyle Ward, and directed by Simon Crane, who worked as a stunt director on many films including X-Men: The Last Stand and Titanic.

Don't do it Bruce! The game wasn't that good! We're not even sure why they're making a movie out of it. Even if everyone who bought the game went to see it, it would only gross $20 million; that might just barely pay Willis' salary!
