Neither can I, but I think he would do well; he has the size, and he's the best actor that I know with a strong build.

1.6 - I DON'T WANNA SEE A "GEARS OF WAR" MOVIE
This movie is gonna blow just like MOST videogame-to-movie films do.

What Epic SHOULD DO is just use the GEARS of WAR graphic engine from the game and a make a 2 plus hr movie. Give a limited IMAX screen release and then bring it straight to DVD/BLURAY. It would SELL like CRAZY!!!!

The fact that they may have a movie is an Epic Fail all by itself.

The Rock just makes it that much worse.

The Rock(Johnson) has now become a pretty good actor...but I don't see him be Marcus Fenix, whatsoever. He doesn't have that same tough look and voice. Also, Marcus is white, not Latino. lol

At least you would know they aren't getting some ridiculous meathead-bozo without any acting skills whatsoever.

Sure, the Rock would "makes," sense, but what doesn't is your post. This isn't Youtube illiteracy Ville. Maybe your thought would garner a little more attention if you made it so that we didn't have to decipher what you're trying to say.

Kill joy, you just obviously can't read. The only thing that doesn't work, is that there is no punctuation.

Anyway, Diesel doesn't have the mass behind him to play Marcus.

Comment 2
As long as it isn't Vin Diesel, It's all good. But I think The Rock makes sense.

Comment 2.2
You obviously cannot read, Killjoy. Everything works except the absence of punctuation.

But anyway, Diesel doesn't have the build to play as Marcus.

And yes, I'm fixing both of your comments, as it is quite apparent you have two accounts. How sad.

Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson are nearly the same size.
But, I do think Vin Diesel would be better as Kim.

Am I asking for an exquisite piece of writing sporting every field of writing that only English major's look for? No. I'm just asking him to actually make sense. If you can read past some idiotic babble that only Tom Hanks from the Davinci Code can pull off, then good for.

I think it's safe to say that I enjoy games just as much as everyone else here. I also enjoy talking about games. But I do admit, I'm quite picky about English. It's a habit. But I can't stand it when it seems as though people are posting with cell phone keypads.

I think this movie will be even worse than the games. Is there even enough plot to make a movie? and even so is there enough plot to make a GOOD movie? I personally don't think so.

If it's a big budget movie, it's all action/special effects. Indie films these days care about developing plots/characters.

Well I don't really like the games. I guess I just don't get "it". It just seems gratuitious to me.

Well there's still some films that have good, devloped plots, even some blockbusters. But I get what you mean. cough*300*cough

In fact won't a Gears Of War movie be 300 with guns?

The Rock as Marcus Fenix? Eh, not so sure about that one. I'd rather see the Rock as the supporting character, such as Dom. I have no idea who should play Baird or Marcus, but Cole should obviously be his voice talent, the former Terry Tate.

I hate that Hollywood is screwing up with game franchises and making them look bad on the big screen.

I also hope that turd that makes Xmen doesn't get his hands on GOW.

Right, because everyone knows the reason why Doom sucked was because of the Rock.

He's not a good actor and he doesn't even look the part. They need to use John Travolta, he doesn't sound like Marcus but he's by far the best choice.

Denzel Washington is also in it.

Lol this movie has Fail Sauce all over it. Although I do like some of Dwayne Johnson movies. I just think the movie as a whole just doesn't scream MOTION PICTURE. Shooter turned movie does not really makes since to me they really don't have a story to them. If you are going to make game to movie transition you stick with games that have really deep story elements and shooters just don't have that.

12.1 - Gears can be deep, if they thicken out the plot a bit
It shouldn't take much, just put to words some of the action, and put to action some of the words.

Besides, they'll fix it in post.

Johnson is a good actor. But Marcus isn't black so that would be a bad casting decision.
