Another day another computer game converted to the big screen. I remember the days when they made a film and then convereted it to a game. Ahh for the days of Ghostbusters on the Spectrum 48k.
On March 20, 2007, it was announced that New Line Cinema had purchased the rights to make a Gears of War film, with Stuart Beattie writing the script along with Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, who will be producing it.[39] The film is scheduled to be released in 2009.[40] Producer Wyck Godfrey said of the film adaptation, "I'm not a gamer, but what blew me away about Gears was how it captures the mythology of a war mission and how high the stakes are."[41] It has been announced in the May 2007 issue of Game Informer that Cliff Bleszinski (lead designer of the game) will be the executive producer of the film.[citation needed] On August 3, 2007, AICN.com reported that Len Wiseman was to direct the movie adaptation of Gears of War.[citation needed], though on March 30, 2007, Godfrey stated that they have "a director we're about to attach" in order to film the movie during 2009 and release in 2010
The game was alright but i wouldnt have thought this would be next to be made into a movie.I actually can see this being pretty decent...but then i thought the same things about Doom and Resident Evil...
I don't think any game transition will be any good, the whole point of the games is that you are able to do stuff you wouldn't necessarily be able to do on the big screen, plus they are already CGI'd.
I mean who came up with the Super Mario Bros. concept couldn't have seriously believed that a) It would work and b) it would make money?
