Bruce Willis is in negotiations to play a death row inmate in "Kane & Lynch," a thriller based on a video game.

Willis' character, Kane, and a schizophrenic killer named Lynch, are sprung by Kane's former team so that he can retrieve a stolen fortune. Kane travels to Los Angeles, Japan and Cuba, with Lynch acting as the team's watchdog in order to save his wife and daughter.

The Lionsgate project is eyeing a fall start, with a hunt now on to find an actor to play Lynch. Veteran stunt coordinator Simon Crane will make his feature directing debut on the film. The game was published last year by Eidos Interactive.

Willis is shooting "The Surrogates," which Jonathan Mostow ("Terminator 3") is directing for Disney. Crane is the stunt coordinator and second unit director on the sci-fi movie.
