Variety is reporting that New Line Cinema snagged the feature rights to Gears of War and that Stuart Beattie will be writing the script with Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey producing.

The rights went up for auction with a 21-page treatment by Beattie, best known for his script work on Collateral and Derailed.

No word on production timing or who might be signed up to star. Just so their are no Vins or Vans in their name I'll be happy. Brian Crecente
