Legendary Pictures has come on board to co-finance and co-produce
Gears of War, a project based on Microsoft and Epic Games' hit videogame.
According to
The Hollywood Reporter, Len Wiseman is directing with Chris Morgan writing the script. The first draft was penned by Stuart Beattie.
Gears of War centers on a world beset by aliens known as the Locust and a team of soldiers fighting to retake the planet. The violent action title is Microsoft's second best selling videogame franchise, behind
Halo. A sequel is coming out in November.
New Line had initially aimed for a summer 2009 release for the picture, but Warner has not yet dated
Gears of War.

i still loved the movie though, i just wish they had a sequel to make up for their mistakes from the first!
Chad, The Kwisatz.... picking between the two would be like picking between my kids! (don't have any kids, you know what i mean)
but since we're talking cool video games.. DOOM3 gets a fuck yeah from me!!
Still want Halo more. No offense. But Bungie is missing out. Probably after this is a success the a-holes will get their stuff together and make Halo.
now i wonder who'll they put in the roles of the characters. Chris Evans anyone?
