Len Wiseman has signed on to direct New Line's
Gears of War, based on Microsoft and Epic Games' hit videogame.
According to
Variety, Chris Morgan is writing a new draft of the action picture that Stuart Beattie originally tackled.
Fanboys have been speculating for nearly a year that Wiseman may direct the project. The game was even featured in his most recent film,
Live Free or Die Hard.
Gears of War revolves around a world reeling from an invasion by aliens known as the Locust, and a small team of elite soldiers who fight to retake the planet Sera and save its human inhabitants.
New Line had initially aimed for a summer 2009 release for the picture, but further development on the project now will likely delay that plan. No production date has been set.

The Kwisatz Haderach
Yeah they better not make another doom
THE VISIONARY
Yeah that would be freaking awesome! :D
i blame all the fucking nerds that will say this and that online yet won't leave their fucking room to see the movie in the cinema, they'd rather stream a shit copy of the net!
Bring on Halo and Gears of War!
That would own. If that happened, it will be my most anticipated film EVER!!!
But hes too busy with T2 and T3. =(
My only worry is that who the hell is gonna be able to play al those super steroid pumped soldiers?
I cant see any actor from Hollywood wanting to pump them selfes up.
Or they probably are gonna make them pumped through the magic of computers.
Wow. You are a fucking idiot. How do I explain this to the special ed kids? Umm, well in real life, soldiers take cover so they don't get shot, they just don't running around with alien pulse rifles Halo style, everyone would be dead. Halo lost it's steam, too much pressure on them to get it right. Besides, what's cooler, a Locust drone or a Brute? Yeah my point exactly, the other race (Locusts) are far more interesting than any of the Covenent, Flood, or Brute races. And Locusts have diversity in their army, with giant spider looking creatures, to big boomshot locusts, to Brumaks (the big big scary mother fuckers) to newer Locusts that will be in Gears of War 2 videogame. They can do so much. All the characters have hidden stories so they could go in any direction. The whole Hammer of Dawns destroying Sera idea would be a great story in itself then the actual emergence day of the Locusts coming from underground. This movie will have to have a big budget for the things that will need to be involved. City destruction, special creature effects, props, suits/outfits, etc. This movie will cost a lot lol.
