New Line Signs Up For Gears Of War Film

According to a new report, New Line Cinema has won the rights to develop a film version of Microsoft and Epic's blockbuster Gears of War from the makers of Collateral and Derailed.

Variety is reporting that the film will be written by Stuart Beattie, screenwriter for thrillers Collateral and Derailed. According to IMDB, Beattie is also involved in an adaptation to driving game SpyHunter tentatively set for release in 2009.

Marty Bowen, former producer of The Nativity Story, and Wyck Godfrey, producer of a number of films including Alien Vs. Predator and Daddy Day Care will be producing the film through their Temple Hill Entertainment company.

Microsoft's last attempt at a cinematic franchise adaptation, with Peter Jackson's Wingnut Films committing to make a film version of Halo, ended late in 2006, with the two companies confirming that production work had been "postponed" following reports of Universal Studios and 20th Century Fox backing out of the big-budget feature.

FOR ****S SAKE DO NOT PUT THE ROCK IN THE MOVIE.

Other than that, this should be good, as Derailed was a damn good movie.

They were going to make a Halo movie? That is the stupidest thing ever. This is too. You can't turn a video game into a movie as you can't turn a movie into a videogame.

You KNOW they're going to add that guy. See that picture the top starter posted? They'll probably do that exact same pose in the movie and The Rock will be the big guy. The Rock is evil, he's in so many movies and the acting feels corny yet addicting and it makes me lose int.

This better be awesome and it better not kill the series.

The Rock doesn't act bad. But if he keeps up with the VG movies (that indefinitley suck) his career will go *pfft*.

I'd say its actually pretty easy making GoW into a movie, unlike Halo.
