SDCC 09: Gears of War Movie Churning

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.

Kate Beckinsale as marie .

Lets see if that happens.

A HiFi5392d ago

She's got both the look and the looks for the role. ;)

KingKionic 5392d ago

I just kept my eyes on her during both underworlds .

Love those movies.

qface645392d ago

your talking about that lady that played that vampire right?

if so i agree she was just gorgeous in those movies shes honestly the reason i watched those movies lol

Willio5391d ago

A lead actress for a side role's girl? not happening, sorry.

killersmoke5391d ago (Edited 5391d ago )

Ron Perlman for marcus, just dye his hair a darker color and there you got a bad a$$.

f it make kate the side roll and brad pitt as beard.... oh yea, brad impressed me in snatch and doesn't mind playing a lil of the side roll.

not going to happen but just a thought. he's a good actor and can bring always a convincing character to the roll

Kleptic5391d ago

ThanatosDMC5391d ago

this movie is gonna suck some huge balls

watch hollywood add its own stupid twist to it

mrv3215392d ago

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...

kevinx10005392d ago

i have yet to see a good movie of a game, but my expectations are prety high for this one.

Elven65391d ago

Mortal Kombat is probably the best transition so far and that came out over a decade ago!

Kleptic5391d ago (Edited 5391d ago )

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...

San Frandisco5392d ago

Just be glad its not Uwe Boll directing it.. oh god!

Elven65391d ago

Uwe get a bad rep, their are plenty of Hollywood directors out their who are far worse then him. Take for example the guy who made Doom....nuff said.

4pocalyps35391d ago

true but i don't even know that geezers name, whereas uwe bolls name is stuck in my head....little bastrd

Kleptic5391d ago

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...

Nihilism5392d ago

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......

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756105d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00105d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic105d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica105d ago (Edited 105d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing106d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic105d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos106d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin106d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris106d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine105d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz106d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.
