Gears of War To Begin Production

Gears of War is getting ready to go into production, with at this point no word on the helmer. No doubt a directors name will be dropped very soon.  The movie will take place during the Pendulum Wars which is the 79 year war that manking fought on Sera. The movie will follow Marcus Fenix as they battle a monstrous insect invasion. It seems the story will be told with some flash backs and involve a mix of characters. Sounds promising! Stuart Beattie (Collateral) is writing the screenplay and Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey are producing via their Temple Hill.

 

Gears of War has sold over 3 million units and is hugely popular on Microsoft's Xbox Live service, which allows players to compete against each other online. Though it was released in November and is available only for the Xbox 360 console, it quickly became the fourth bestselling game of 2006 in the U.S.
