Rep Power: 61   gXboxLive Leaderboard: 17th | Gears of War - The Movie? Source: Variety Considering how many videogame properties have been trampled on by studios (and people whose last name is Boll), it's both rewarding and frightening to see another one of the big names get put into the filmmaking pipeline. The latest is Epic Games' multimillion-selling Xbox 360 game GEARS OF WAR which has been grabbed by New Line in their ongoing search for new franchise material. Stuart Beattie (COLLATERAL) is writing the script from his own treatment, and Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey are producing via their Temple Hill company. New Line only holds the rights at this point -- it remains to be seen if the movie makes it to the starting line. The game is set on the once-affluent world of Sera, where a monstrous race called the Locust have crawled from beneath the ground and taken over the planet. Ex-con soldier Marcus Fenix (that's you, playa) leads a ragtag group of troopers, using various heavy firearms and chainsaw bayonets to chop the invaders into gunk. | |

Rep Power: 6 | Re: Gears of War - The Movie? It's not a system seller though, it's just selling to the current install base. Considering the game has sold about 2 million copies, it's odd that system sales basically stayed the same (meaning that it wasn't bringing in new customers since most sales were to current Xbox 360 owners). It's done really well as a game, but I don't see that success translating to theatres. |

Rep Power: 4 | Re: Gears of War - The Movie? I'd go see it, the game wasn't as great as i thought it'd be. Its fun to play but its really short. Not many games work well as movies, only one that comes to mind right away is Resident Evil those movies have done well and I'm looking forward to the 3rd one. | |
