Gears of War movie to be trilogy, hard-edged Lord of the Rings |
Potential blockbuster? Or another candidate for the Uwe Boll awards? (Ok, there's no Uwe Boll awards... but there should be.) Director Len Wiseman has big, big plans for the Gears of War movie. And he isn't even a gamer. He admits as much:
I suck at video games, it just takes me too long and I can’t get the coordination of ‘em. When I was on [Live Free Or] Die Hard, I had to choose some video game for the background in a scene with Kevin Smith.
I was shown about a dozen games and told to ‘Choose one to be in the background’ and I said ‘this one looks really, really cool whatever it is,’ and it was Gears Of War.
I just really connected with it; the design of it the world, the whole thing. So I actually brought an Xbox 360 to start researching what it was.
That said, he talked more on what his actual plans were from the movie, including plans to make it into a trilogy:
ItÂ’s going to be much more [on the] science fiction side of it than the creature side of it. IÂ’ve always been much more of a sci-fi action fan than a horror fan.
The hope is that were wanting to do a three movies and really cover the bases on everything. Basically a harder edged Lord Of The Rings.
All I can say is that I hope they're more faithful to the original source than the Dragonball Evolution movie. The Gears of War flick will be penned by Fast and Furious writer, Chris Morgan.

Resistance in the other hand would make a good trilogy/ movie.
Right?
Honestly, I dun know the name (either you mentioned) as great movie makers... so I have my doubts. I mean Uwe Boll says he's making gold when he's in the process of filming - hell everyone believes they're making gold.
Could be good. Could go to hell to.
Will it be good-Perhaps.
Will it be comparable to Lord of the Rings- Hell no.
never turn out good... but id like to see GOD OF WAR, that game is just made 2 b a movie
yeah right, and the Wii might be a good console one day.. keep wishing, CliffyB said himself he's going to take many precautions to make sure his movie(s) will be good.. another good game to movie, would be MGS (preferably the MGS3 story with big boss)
With Vin Diesel as Kratos!!!
Vin Diesel's a great action movie actor.. I wouldn't mind seeing him in both a God of War AND Gears of War movie!! Anyone else think he should have been the new Terminator?
are probably going to be awful. A director who doesn't play video games and doesn't fully understand them, and a screenwriter who writes mediocre (at best) movies.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the films be successful and actually be decently entertaining, I'm just doubtful they will....
:(
There is a god of war movie in production, isn't there? I thought there was, but if there isn't, there damn well should be
Just do it with the action fig's, string'd puppets and clay-mation and you're GOLDEN.
