Gears Of War Going Bigscreen!
In the “you knew it would happen eventually” file. New Line Cinemas has just purchased the movie rights to Gears of War. The rights were auctioned off using a 21 page treatment and as of yet we don’t know how much New Line Paid, but hopefully with a big studio behind it, Gears of War won’t turn out to be as much of a nightmare as Halo has been.
I think that Gears could make a good movie, although they better beef up the dialog if they want to keep us on the edge of our seats. The movie is still far from being shot so I don’t doubt that it could release alongside the sequel to the game. They are gonna need a bunch of really buff guys. I wonder if the cast of 300 is busy?
Who do you think should play Marcus Phoenix? Let us know in our comments section.

Wow im shocked that they have already decided on this well maby it had 2 do some thing with the Millions of copies they sold in a mere 2 months lol
Just make it good man! That’s all I have to say. 95% of video game movies suck bag.
I hope they make the best out of what the “story” in GoW has delivered. It¬¥s not much to start from, but with the right art direction and scripting it COULD get interesting.
Besides that I¬¥d love to see either “The Rock” as Marcus Phoenix (he¬¥s not quite the talker as well!) or Arnie in his last role as an actor. (ah well after all I¬¥m Austrian too
) !)
really a movie man im soexcited im gonna needa diaper by the way i would choose batista over the rock to play marcus
