Wyck Godfrey, producer of the probably-upcoming Gears of War, has told ComingSoon that progress on the movie's coming along nicely. They've even got some key personnel onboard, with a director they're "about to attach" and a tentative release date of Summer 2010. Yikes! That's the future. Now, to wonder who that director is...

Woah, what?? Story?? Gears of War movie?? COMINGSOON!
Oh yea. Because we REALLY need another bad movie based on generic shooter #7812345... meh.
Now,Epic needs to get them to film down in Wilmington,NC so I can sneak some spy photos.They need to get that wrestling guy,I think his name is Batista? Looks just like Fenix and he's a big dude.
SHIT! HELL YEAH! LOCUST!!! SWEET!!!
Boycott! It can never live up to expectations. I bet - I *bet* I could direct a better movie with my arsecheeks :0(
@Heyyou27: Just summed up the lines of the entire movie right there.
Marcus: Bring it!
Dom: I could do that all day...
Marcus: Eat shit and die!
Baird: Blah, blah, blah, resonator, blah, blah, blah, tunnels.
Cole: Yo! Suck it bitches!!!
Anya: Blah, blah, blah, sattelite.
Marcus: Back to your hole!
Locust Queen: Blah, blah, blah.
Fin.
@enewtabie: Nooooo, not Batista, although the resemblance is quite stunning to the point I'm thinking maybe he was a basis for the character but he can't act, I hasten to believe he can actually wrestle, sorry to all you Batista lovers out there but I'm a hater. never liked him never will
@Dannon: What are you expecting, an academy-award winner up front?!
ibuweboll
@dionion: Seconded.
yes... Michael Bay should direct :)
When the name is released, I call first watch over his house. I'll carry a torch and hold it on his front lawn with a sign "You better not screw this up".
Who will work the shifts with me?
@pylon_trooper: I want Oscar nominations gosh darn it!
I want meaningful scenes full of depth and emotion
Gears of War 3 will probably drop a week after the movie. Why spend $10 million on an advertising campaign when you can make a movie?
@Black_Ops_19: I'm in
Note to self: Kill Uwe Boll before 2010.
@Dannon: did you play the same gears of war i did O_o?
I heard it was going to be a double feature with the Halo movie. Hahahaha, seriously though.....
why is hollywood turning flash-in-the-pan games into films? By the time this comes out, nobody will remember it nor care.
@Detre: Well, it DID have a beautiful yet VERY subtile love story beneath all of the blood and gore. ;)
this guy should be cole

@FranUnFine: Love story? Between Carmine and sniper rounds?
@FranUnFine: You sensed a vibe between Marcus and Dom too? Quick, someone make a Brokeback Gears trailer.
*Buries his head in his hands*
Please tell me when it's over...
@dionion: Damn, there is one already.
+ Watch video
@fbdeluxe: I'll admit, it would be pretty cool to see Bob Sapp in the armor
These sorts of movies usually go to people who have proven they suck at these sorts of movies.
Okay, I just want everyone to realize that most movies are made for money right now, not artistic integrity, or crativeness or vision. Let that set in. Then add the fact that this is going to be a video game movie. Okay, now add the fact in that the game it's based on has pretty much the lamest story ever. Now exhale.....
I enjoyed the game. It played well. As for the movie? Let's see, Will they PG-13 it? Will they make it R just so they can over-gore it to compensate for having absolutely nothing going on? Will MST3K make a run at Dom and crew?
+ Watch video

that guy should be Marcus Phoenix. seriously. dont they look alike? Scott Patterson
Michael Bay does like everything awesome
*cues Awesome Verizon Fios commercial*t
Paging Zach Snyder...
This should be two hours of just slow motion football footage set to Mad World.
@A_Knothole_Resident:
Are you serious?!? I bet the movie will coincide with the release of the second Gears of War installment. 2010 isn't all that far away. And as far as anyone who has ever played the game is concerned, the "war" is far from over...
@dionion: Definitely. Maybe it's because I'm lesbian... but one thing I can guarantee, Gears is even better if you play it with that perspective tacked on. I had great fun.
If the story follows the game I have absolutely no idea why it's going to take 3 years to make...
@Dannon:
Well I haven't really watch wrestling since Ric Flair in the 80s.I just saw him on tv..and was like,that's Marcus Fenix.
Wow! 2010? That's two years till armageddon. Cutting it close, huh?
So, how long before the whole project gets stuck turnaround and inevitably canceled?
Sorry, but if they couldn't make Halo work with Peter Jackson attached to produce, there's just no convincing me that this will ever see the light of day...
Whoa-whoa...
What happened to Len Wisemen being attached as director...Did he bail for another Underworld sequel??
Why is this getting made before a halo movie? Don't get me wrong I would love to see a gears movie, but it will prob be as bad as doom. So unfair I want my halo movie :(.
@AJax: LOL
I wonder if there will be a game based on the movie XD hehehe
As long as its better than Doom FFS.
*Hopes to god it is not Uwe Boll*
Honestly, you can be curious what Uwe Boll would make of GeoW ww.
