1 - I don`t know about a GeoW movie.......
I`m just not sure if there is enough there to make a "great" movie from. I could see it turning out alot like "Doom", which wouldn`t be cool. Games that are shooters, just don`t really have enough for a movie (maybe HalfLife). I`d would rather see movies of God OF War, Devil May Cry or Prince of Persia those kinda action/adventure games would make better movies, because they already have deep/intriguing storys to begin with.

Video game to movie adaptatiions have not had a good track record. That was until Transformers. I think producers will take more time t getting these movies right in the future, until then people we greet these movies with caution.

@Dora the Explorer, you are judging the story line on the first game. Epic definatley has more story behind the game with Gears of War II.

Transformers were toys before TV shows, or was it the other way around. And they were all metal too, not cheap plastic.

Yup, bad anology. Transformers was a 80's cartoon ( I was there when the first episode aired). It has made several reppearances in variant forms and finally made into a succcessful movie. My point remains the same, cartoons made to movies were bad until transformers, videogames to movies have not been good (comics to movies too), maybe a Gears of War movies will change the stigma.

There was a cartoon first and then the toys, yes metal mostly.

Maybe some professional wrestlers? The Rock will probably make a good Dominique.

I dont hold out much hope of a good Gears movie. I think a good gears movie COULD be made, I just dont think the hollywood types take games seriously enough to make it good. They think just because we like the game we will buy any crp they throw on the screen instead of trying to make an actual good movie.

I wish we could have some hard-sci-fi films that arent just blow-em-up action films for the masses.

I agree with you to a degree, it would be nice if they took chances, dropped the budget and concentrated on making an excellent film instead of a block-buster-mass-market-cash- machine.

6 - It would make an awesome movie IF
They wrote a good story, 'cause the content and action is already in place. Though, like tweaker said, they'd have to get some crazzzy-buff dudes.

The story in Gears of War is terrific -- did you play the game? Sure there were un-finished plot points, but they helped provide depth for the characters.

As long as Uwe fcuking Bol isnt involved, I have high hopes. Gears of War would make an excellent character-centered Man vs. Man SciFi film.

Gears of War film has excellent potential for a dark tone action and apocalypse style film.
