2.1 - What about...
Vin Diesel as Marcus? Maybe Christian from Batman Begins. I'd like to see Naomi Watts as Anya. Michael Clark Duncan could play the big black dude (soultrain? night train?).

I really don't think this movie should come out before the third Gears of War. If so, they'd have to split it up, because you know how Hollywood is; always a happy ending!

I hope they dan't make Gears of War movie a f***** PG-13 flick... like Die Hard 4.
Seriously, I'm still angry about the PG-13 Die Hard 4. Gears movie better be a hard R.

i don't see how it could not be honestly MK. Although Die Hard 4 wasn't R, it was still a pretty decent flick.

I know and I agree that Die Hard 4 was decent BUT was it a Die Hard movie? NO!!!
Sure, nothing can be the original Die Hard but Die Harder and With Vengence still has some Die Hard left in them with their R rating and a "Yippi K... Mother******" that you could clearly hear without being PG-13ized.

although it die hard 4 was a good film, the lack of blood in the movie is what made it pg-13.
In the case of of gears movie, i would MUCH rather see tons of blood and chainsaws, than big helicopter explosions, car chases, and the mentioning of 1/2 of a curse word.

shadowxcore, not just blood. Die Hard 4 lack the signature McClain swearing, fully "yippy..." and he wasn't on drugs. Plus, he used to get really beaten up and bloody in previous films but not here :(

Although I'm a natural Gore-hound, I think even without that some movies like Die Hard HAVE to be R like the games that have to be M, like Gears or Mortal Kombat... wait, scratch the last one. Those idiots are making a T rated MK game :(

This better be a damn borderline NC-17 amount of gore haha.

Actually I doubt even with chainsaws they could top some of Hollywood's crap shock movies...(Hostel, Saw, etc.)

5.9 - Um, heres an idea
Why don't they create a CG movie (that will take a while) with all original voice actors, same basic character models and even a few levels stay the same, then we'll talk, but live action GOW how the hell would that work, the guys in GOW are like 4 feet high and 7 feet wide. They would create a movie just for the fans of the series, gory as hell, mindless violence, repetive gameplay, purty graphix. Hell I'd watch it. Oh and don't forget the corny ass dialogue.

@Jenzo
what language are you speaking in?

@MKred
Like I have said before. I like things visceral bloody and voilent so yea I was disappointed it was pg-13. The movie still impressed me though. The new gears can't possible be good without being R.

dachiefsman, I also liked that film but as a normla action film not a Die Hard film. Seriously, poor McClain couldn't use drugs or swear like he used too...

As for making an PG-13 Gears movie, nothing is impossible from darn hollywood :(
They did make PG-13 Mortal Kombat movies!

This whole "lets-kill-a-franchise-by -making-a-crappy-movie-adaptat i on" seems popular nowadays. Will they ever learn?

Why not have Michael Bay directing a Halo movie? Will Smith could play Master Chief. Jerry Bruckheimer could produce it. Also, let's make it PG 13. Explosions + CGI > manuscript.

Let's kill everything that made the game good.

Dude, Zack Snyder should do Gears of War. Look at his films - 300 and Dawn of the Dead. Gears is no action only. It's a SciFi thriller + a lot of gore and brutality. Zach fits that more than Len Wiseman could ever. I'll be pissed if Gears is so action-like. I'd rather go in to see the brutality and bloodshed in the movie than to see some action-like film with massive explosive minus the bloodshed. I recall that BS.

I pretty much argree on that, Gears of war movie to me should resemble the movies like 300 or Frank millers Sin City. Little color like the game cept for some, which would to me give it the same look as the game...

14.2 - WWE?
If you start putting in no talent wrestlers in a big budget movie, it will be hard for the audience to take it seriously. Look at all the badass scifi/fantasy movies that did well critically and commercially: Star Wars, Aliens, Star Trek, LOTR, etc. They all had Oscar worthy actors in them. You can't skimp on the talent. The only exception I can think of would be Jesse "the body" Ventura in Predator.

too bad Stuart Beattie's script was discarded. He did an amazing job on the first Pirates of The Carribean and don't forget that he also did the screenplay for Collateral. Its a shame they brought on someone else to write the script. But, who knows?? Maybe it'll be pretty good.
