Gears of War screenwriter gives update on film!
Probably surpassing Halo in its popularity on the Xbox, Gears of war and its hugely successful sequel are to put it lightly extremely popular with the gaming crowd, so when news came of a film adaptation in the works the news came with skepticism and overwhelming joy. Chris Morgan who previously penned Wanted and the last two Fast and Furious films will be doing the screenplay for the Gears of War film which has the infamous delta squad battling the deadly alien race called the locust horde. Morgan, just recently gave an update on the films status and states: “A draft went in and we’re talking about it now and we’re budgeting it out,” “It’s looking incredibly good.”
“All the stuff you want to see, we put that in there and then we blow it out a little more, even. Now it’s just a matter of honing in on all of the character arcs and determining production types of things.” Morgan also stated on the huge scope of the film stating:“It’s huge,” “One of the things they’re really talking about now is the budget of the film and how big of a spectacle this is going to be. My argument is, look at the underlying material. Look at the game and the scenario — the fact that the world is being taken over by the Locust, it has to be huge.”

Gears is great. I am a huge fan of Gears 1 and have put countless hours in Gears more so than Halo. However, speaking realistically. Gears does not even come close to surpassing Halo when it comes to popularity and fan base.

Can’t wait for this. Len Wiseman has a pretty good track record of directing with the Underworld movies and Live Free or Die Hard, so I’m hoping this will have a better fate than most video game adaptations. Should be interesting to see who lands the role of Marcus.

Sweet, it just looks like they put everything we want to see in there and blow it out a little more…Michael Bay will be proud. Script will probably make good dook paper.

saying that gears “probably” surpasses halo in popularity is just speculation. additionally, it is false speculation. try using facts.

Yeah right, Gears doesn’t come close to be as popular on the Xbox as Halo. Whoever wrote that is an idiot. Halo 3 has been for over a year and a half and it is #1 on the Xbox Live Activity list… Gears 2 is like #5.
OT: I’m excited for the movie, if they do it right it could be amazing.

This article starts with something blatantly false, and moves on to show poor grammar and worse writing.
“Morgan also stated on the huge scope of the film stating: ‘It’s huge’.”
Also, it’s clear you don’t know the definition of the word “infamous”.

I think they look absurdly beefy because of the armor. As long as they get some fairly large actors, CG will fill in the rest.

Actually you do get to see his face, when they show all of the inmates lining up, but of course you never know which one is him

Can’t wait to see the movie.
I had a crazy idea that would make for some really funny extras on the DVD. What if they made some of the glitches from the video game part of the movie.
I would love to see an actor in the movie skydive high above the map or even do a kung fu backflip, lol.
GLITCHES FTW!!
