GEARS OF WAR FILM- FINALLY SOME CONFIRMATION!
The highly anticipated feature film adaptation of the Xbox 360 hit video game GEARS OF WAR finally came a step closer to becoming a reality recently. It has now been confirmed that Len Wiseman will direct the movie, and work is expected to start soon on getting the production underway. Now to be scripted by Chris Morgan (Wanted, Fast and Furious 3 and 4), the Gears of War tale of humans in a battle against the alien menace of the Locust Horde is being touted as the definitive video game film; one that brings the game faithfully to the screen yet offers a satisfying movie experience as well. That is no mean feat, and if Wiseman pulls it off he’ll be pretty much the first person to make a truly compelling film out of a video game franchise. Despite the Gears of War film only just getting underway, there is still a tentative release date of summer 2009. They’re gonna have to hurry up a bit…
