SDCC 09: Gears of War Movie Churning
58
Director Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard) and writer Chris Morgan (Wanted) appeared at Epic Games' Gears of War panel to discussing the upcoming feature film based on the popular videogame franchise. It was clear by the end of the hour-long panel that production on the Gears of War feature film was in the earliest stages. In fact, there's been no casting and there were no production stills or conceptual art to offer. Still, Wiseman and Morgan spoke about their philosophy regarding the movie and the director dispelled a recent Internet rumor regarding casting of the lead role.

I don't know, Gears 2 had some strange twists and a plot that went places.... bad places.
This is big news some played Gears 1 and 2 and though 'Such great story, I really felt for Moira(or who ever) and the voices where awsome' Gears of War is famous for it's combat which is awsome... no doubt it's the story and online which where it's major flaws...

I thought Silent Hill was at least watchable...although story wise it made very little sense (they spend 10 minutes at the end attempting to explain what is going on, but it opened up more holes than it filled)...
but yeah...most game movie suck horrendously...MK was ok, but that was mostly because i was like 12 and had no real idea what a 'good' movie really was at that point...if I watched it again it would probably be unbearable...Doom was the biggest disppointment...but I knew it would be when i first heard that they were omitting the 'hell' part of the story in exchange for alien research or something...to keep it safer or whatever...bad move, the movie then sucked...it sucked more than Doom 3...and THAT is saying something...

Uwe is terrible...
normally what happens in film making is that if you make a terrible movie that reaches a large audience...you are pretty much done making major films...you then get kicked around in the indie film arena for a while, either become successful in that...or end up being demoted even further into porn or television...
Uwe makes terrible film after terrible film...yet still gets support from his crazed German producers...who are good at marketing...and are able to turn a profit on his complete trash movies...its not that everyone is out to get him...he is simply awful, but has support from people that know how to make money off of him...

what is it with all these god damn game based movie ideas....no movie should be based on a fps, or in the gase or gears, a cover based shooter with no story at all, final fantasy was epic and has a rich story and the series has sold like what 150million copies?, making a movie on that was a good idea ( although not executed well), i know they should make a movie based on the game f.e.a.r and call it The Ring, that would be Sweet......

Mickey Rourke definitely has charisma on the screen. However, if you have viewed his last several "action" movies, he doesnt really need to move much. I can already imagine him holding a gun smoking a cigar walking down a hallway blasting people while the retarted enemy shoots pepples and deflects off his armor. Im sorry, he is just too old. The Rock in Doom was fun to watch till the end.

If he gets in shape, he could easily pull it off. Look at Sly...
But you are right. If it's a success, then it'll spawn sequels. And by the time a second one rolls about, he'll be pushing 60. Still, Sly is a good example...Rambo V is apparently on the way.

15 - How about.....
....Dominic Purcell? The older brother from Prison Break. He has the look, the body(he's 6'1"+, mind you) and more importantly, he can act...well, at least better than 'The Rock'. There's also people suggesting Gerard Butler or John Travolta(wrong voice though).
OR....we can go back to picking 'pro'-wrestlers(someone even picked Batista....lol). I mean, if we're gonna give preference to physique over acting ability, then why not pick The Rock for the next Batman, Superman or even Chris Redfield because those kind of heroes in comics/video-games look like serious 'roid abusers. Just my two cents.

15.1 - People always misjudge "roids".
You can look like Tom Glavine & be on steroids. It doesn't make everyone huge. The majority of athletes take them (by majority I mean those that do, not that a majority do) do so because it allows them to work out longer & harder, & recover from injury faster. It's not about looking like Lee Haney. Anyways, I don't believe DeWayne Johnson used the juice. I also feel he is a pretty good actor that just needs to never do Southland Tales ever again.

MARCUS FENIX SHOULD BE PLAYED BY MICKEY ROURKE FROM SIN CITY. COLE SHOULD BE PLAYED BY VING RHAMES FROM UNDISPUTED. DOM SHOULD BE PLAYED BY ODED FEHR FROM RESIDENT EVIL APOCALYPSE. BAIRD SHOULD BE PLAYED BY MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY FROM REIGN UNDER FIRE. MARIA SHOULD BE PLAYED BY EVA MENDEZ FROM 2 FAST AND 2 FURIOUS.

Well that's why I was careful to say "I don't know how good his acting skills are". But you have to admit, in the looks department he's a dead ringer. His face is similar and his arms are gi-normous and cut. He definitely has that overly-muscular, comic book physique like Marcus Fenix does. I do realize he wouldn't be the best choice to play in what would most likely be a summer blockbuster since he has done limited to no acting (except what he does on RAW from week to week).
