Gears of War Movie Director Confirmed
Posted by: PuppetMasterOh dear oh me. UGO has confirmed what we told you awhile back that yes Rush Hour 3 director Brett Ratner will be directing the GEARS OF WAR movie. UGH! But we can add some good news to that for you all which is also not new news but still... The folks at Legendary Pictures who did 300, Superman Returns and The Watchmen are going to co-produce and co-finance the upcoming Gears of War Movie. This is some great news and pretty much ensures a fun ride!
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.
