Sci-Fi Gears of War: The movie (In the works!)

[CELTICPRED]

Any news is good news. (I think)

 

[Bunker]

I have a sickening feeling this will be another Doom.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I hope not, LFODH was a great popcorn flick which is what I'm expecting from this anyway.

 

[harken51]

Wow...if this movie does get released it'll probly suck

 

[Spider-Vader]

How? I'm just expecting a dumb, fun action movie which is what the games are trying to be.

 

[MadVillainy]

Along as they dont cast 50 yr olds in the part of 30 yr old ppl I would have no problem with the film initially

I hope ComicCon brings some good news because GOW has a very good story

 

[General Fury]

Thsi is going to be so awesome (well i hope)

Cant wait!!

Elsewhere, Bleszinski trailed his appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con this week, where he will be on three panels, including one with Gears 2 executive producer Rod Fergusson and Gears of War film director Len Wiseman.

"I just got a new draft of the [film] script the other day, and they're budgeting and storyboarding it right now," he said.

"I don't want to say too much - I can't, I want to save a little bit of information for Comic-Con - but it's a wild ride, dude, start to finish, and they're really doing a good job of actually really digging in and kind of enhancing the characters beyond Marcus being kind of a gruff, stoic guy, and so you get to know him a little bit better and the interplay between him and Dom and things like that.

"They're doing a bang-up job on it so far and my fingers are crossed that we're going to hopefully make the first damn good videogame film."

What kind of announcements, about the Gears movie, do you guys expect at Comic-Con?

 

[CELTICPRED]

Awesome, great news about hearing forward progress, and even better that Cliffy likes it.

All I'd like to hear is some plot news, where exactly are they starting the movie inside the Gears universe. Can't wait to hear what Wiseman has to say.

The Gears Of War Screenplay: Our Thoughts (Kotaku.com)

 

[Hunter Rider]

I was playing GOW2 the other day and it suddenly came to me............the voice......the world worn face.........Mickey Rourke is Marcus Fenix!

 

[Mister Sinister]

Has Stuart Beattie written the screenplay, I thought it was Chris Morgan?

The Gears Of War Screenplay: Our Thoughts (Kotaku.com)

Ultra violent with one liners?

Hell yes.

 

[CelticPredator]

Please PLEASE, get Nick Chinlund for Marcus.

 

[Steel Thunder]

John Travolta for Marcus

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

chinlunds a good pic! rourke has the voice and kind of looks like him...
i kind of want dominic purcell...he can be a very good actor...sometimes...give him a chance and he'll shine...

 

[CelticPredator]

He looks nothing like Marcus.

 

[nite-owl]

After reading that script review I kinda wish Paul Verhoeven was directing this.

 

[Vapor]

This could be a cool movie if they carry on the right way.. I know they most likely won't but they should go with these guys..

I came across these cast-choices that i thought were pretty inspired. Thought you guys would be interested in seeing them...

DOM: Kenny G

COLE: Lester Speight

KIM: Jason Scott Lee

BAIRD: Brian Van Holt

With Karl Urban as Fenix..

 

[Terminator]

That's probably the script that's been available for a while now. I haven't read it yet.

 

[CelticPredator]

Not Urban! He once again, looks nothing like Fenix.


On a side note, I looked up Fenix pics, but I typed it Marcus Penix.....heh.....eh.

 

[CELTICPRED]

I've played both Gears religiously, and I can frankly say I don't care all that much if the actor casted as Marcus is a carbon copy. Yes, Baird has to be blonde, Dom hispanic etc.

Urban certainly looks close enough. At least close enough to not cause a problem.

 

[Terminator]

I can't see there being many people who look like Fenix and could play the part. They can cast a lot of people in that role who can do a good job and they can do a makeup job if absolutely necessary.

 

[CELTICPRED]

I don't see the big concern outside of the voice.

He's got a scar, dark hair, blue eyes, and wears a do-rag.


Might as well just cast Ray Stevenson.

Comic Con News:

What about The Rock's involvement?
