The previous attempt at a Gears of War adaptation got derailed by creative differences between New Line and the videogame company Epic Games, which, ultimately, resulted in New Line giving up on the movie. It took nearly half a year to find a new producer, but the movie adaptation is getting another chance.
According Variety, Scott Stuber has come on board to produce the movie and will be developing the movie's script with Epic Games. We'll see if it gets anywhere this time.
Len Wiseman was once attached to direct Gears of War for New Line until it became evident the movie's not going anywhere. Below is what he told Film School Rejects:
"It just got to the point where it was too expensive for what they considered too much of an isolated, male-driven movie. You know, just even the fact it's called Gears of War [Laughs]. They felt it was risky. The vision I had for it was an appropriate one for the game. The game is epic and massive. I didn't really want to see the 50 or 60 million dollar version of that movie."
An effects-heavy movie made for $50-$60 million? Those explosions and SFX shots will be few and far between. And then there were the wrestlers.
"I didn't really want to go the wrestler route, and a lot of that was popping up," Wiseman said. "I didn't have anybody. Did you ever picture a Marcus? The Rock kept coming up all the time, and that was something they were talking about before I even got involved."
So maybe it was a good idea not to go through with that movie after all.
