| Post subject: | gears of war: the movie |
With games being a prime target of film studio execs for source material, it was only a matter of time before Epic Games' Xbox 360 hit Gears of War began its walk down the road to becoming a movie. Variety is reporting today that New Line Cinema has acquired the movie rights to Gears of War. Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey will produce the film, which is being written by Stuart Beattie (Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Collateral). No more details of the movie have been released, including crew and release date. Gears of War, published by Microsoft Game Studios, has won several Game of the Year awards since its release last November. As of mid-January, the game had sold more than 3 million units worldwide. The next task for the film is to actually get made. Several high-profile movies based on games are still in limbo but slowly moving forward, with Sony working on bringing Metal Gear Solid to the big screen, Jerry Bruckheimer bringing his brand of action to Prince of Persia, and Warner Bros. affiliate Legendary Pictures working on a World of Warcraft movie. Others, such as the big-budget endeavor to bring Halo to the cineplex, have stalled completely. [UPDATE] Since the announcement, GameSpot has confirmed the report with Epic Games vice president Mark Rein and more details have surfaced. New Line is targeting a summer 2009 release for the game, and Variety predicts that a Gears of War sequel will be timed with the release of the movie. http://videogames.yahoo.com/newsarticle ... 460&page=0 |

Tomb Raider, Doom, Sonic the Hedgehog, the list goes on. Those producers are better off getting real storylines instead of STEALING them. |

YES. And honestly, the film always ends up being awful anyway. Just look at Doom and Tomb Raider. Resident Evil wasn't half bad though. Silent Hill was ok too. I might go see it. Doubt it though. I'd only go if Creepy bought me popcorn and coke

That was marvellous, I love it. But yeah, I think Creepy will now fill the sandbox with posts how good the movie will be =/. |

It was butchered and filled with matrix-like moves. |

Known about this for a few weeks, i hold some hope - Most game to film things suck but Gears was built to play like a film, they tried to make it like you was in one of those big epic films so it may just well transfer well. I'll give it a watch for sure but i'm skeptical. p.s No coke for MQ, druggy. |

game based movies are never that good. they always show the best parts in the preview, and the best parts are bad to begin with. |
