On March 20, 2007, it was announced that New Line Cinema had purchased the rights to make a Gears of War film, with Stuart Beattie writing the script along with Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, who will be producing it. The film is scheduled to be released in 2009. Producer Wyck Godfrey said of the film adaptation, "I'm not a gamer, but what blew me away about Gears was how it captures the mythology of a war mission and how high the stakes are." It has been announced in the May 2007 issue of Game Informer that Cliff Bleszinski (lead designer of the game) will be the executive producer of the film. On August 3, 2007, AICN.com reported that Len Wiseman was to direct the movie adaptation of Gears of War. , though on March 30, 2007, Godfrey stated that they have "a director we're about to attach" in order to film the movie during 2009 and release in 2010.

Wiseman was officially signed on in June 2008 with Chris Morgan performing script rewrites. As of July 24, 2008, Chris Morgan has hinted on G4's televised coverage of Comic Con 2008 that the film would be a prequel to the first game, "it could explain how Marcus (Fenix) got his scar."

Hmmm

As much as I am loathe to admit it, the Rock would actually be perfect for the role of Fenix!:P

Going to look into my magic ball here and predict that this film will be a steaming pile of ****e

Am I the only one who thinks GoW is just another over rated shooter? In fact, I thought it was pretty boring.

Yes

Any Euroworld should have them.

TBH the only game-to-movie adaption I have ever been excited about was the Halo one. It really looked like they were going in the right direction, before it all went tits up.

This will be a by-the-numbers action film that will make a moderate amount and will prolong the sh!tness that is the game-to-movie genre...

I quite enjoyed Die Hard 4, except for the whole hippycaiyay (sp?) mother-*boom*

It was great for what it was, a mindless action movie - my favourite kind

Was going to say you know what they did with doom. All the same i was and am a big big fan of the Doom game and watched the movie 2 times. Parts of it i liked "like when he got his hands on the chain saw and it turned into a FPS" and they did try and copy the game.

Lets not forget about Street Fighter, or maybe i should be saying lets not mention Street Fighter.

GOW was a pretty boring game. It had the wow factor due to the graphics and some nice touches but I tried playing through it in Co-op mode with a friend which should have made the whole thing gold but after the third level I was bored and turned it off.
