‘Gears Of War’ Movie Adaptation Moving Forward

A Gears Of War film has been in development since 2007. Total Recall’s Len Wiseman was even attached to direct at one point. However, the film got put on hold as New Line chose to focus on Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy instead.

Variety is now reporting that “Creative Artists Agency is eager to meet with producers in the coming weeks and set up the project elsewhere”. The site is also reporting that Stuart Beattie’s (Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tide) screenplay is currently being considered as the one that they will chose to move forward with.

Epic Games is said to be involved in order to consult on the adaptation in order to, “make sure it ties into the canon established by the games and books.”
