Colin Farrell and Gerard Butler may be about to square off to land the role of a CIA counter terrorism agent in a new movie called "Consent to Kill"

The film is an adaptation of a book by crime novelist Vince Flynn, the first of eleven books that will be made into a kind of 'Bourne Identity" series of movies by CBS Films.

Butler is the current front runner but Farrell wowed CBS Films CEO Amy Baer as the star of S.W.A.T., a project she oversaw as a Columbia Pictures executive.

Butler is still considered a bigger box office bet because of the huge success of 300, but insiders say Farrell may get the movie role which could catapult him into the type of fame that Mat Damon has enjoyed as Bourne.

Training Day director Antoine Fuqua is set to direct "Consent to Kill."

Colin Farrell hands down. Farrell can act and the recent singing job he did in "Crazy Heart" was impressive.
Either choice will be fine but if was up to me...I would of course give it to the Irishman!
I believe that Colin is so well suited for this role. Yes, I know Butler had a tremendous success in 300 but, Colin has not only been in S.W.A.T., but starred in The Recruit, where he did play a CIA trainee. Despite all of that, I think Colin is clearly the one to land the role in "Consent to Kill" Best of luck to you, Colin!! You deserve this!
I love both Gerard and colin, so I say cast them both in all of the movies in the project!!!!! and in the end one could have been a bad guy all along we just couldn't see it till then!
