A hack director and hack screenwriters. Sounds like they're spending a fortune, doesn't it? Maybe they should do the FX with plasticine, really blow the budget ;-)

"Die Hard 4.0 director Len Wiseman"
"The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift writer Chris Morgan" To be honest, I think they probably have the perfect pair. That isn't some sarcy critisism btw. If you are going to turn something like GEoW into a film, those are the sorts of guys you need to do the job right. Yes it will be all explosions and grunting, but that is essentially what the game is so it will probably fit the bill. "directed by somebody who's only made decidedly average films." DH4 wasn't decidedly average. The script was a but bonkers (and by bonkers, I mean bloody awful a lot of the time) but the action sequences were very well done imo. A film version of GEoW is not going to lice or die by its script. Its the stuff blowing up that will make this film or break it. |

The action sequences in die hard 4 were terrible - whoever came up with the the jet vs tanker scene should be banned from writing films for the rest of their natural life. It was the most implausible, cheaply done and shoddily directed thing I've seen in many summer's worth of blockbusters.

To be fair, I didn't think the setting or characterisation in gears of war was very good either, so it's probably a perfect match for the film between screenwriter, director and source material. I'm just fed up with hollywood making these decisions where they can predict the outcome - it's not going to be a good film, they're just hoping to fleece an existing consumer base.

Christ, theres alot of whinging bitches with their panties all up in a bunch online today!
Its a film FFS, if you dont wanna pay to see it, download it, buy a crate of wife beater and watch it with a few of mates. Instantly makes any film a classic... /happy i got the chance to use the word 'panties' in a comment. |

Ideal director for the job methinks.
Yes Die Hard 4's action scenes were OTT, but I thought they were very well shot, and they didn't suffer from today's director's usual thing of a quick cut every 0.5 seconds. See Transformers action scenes for an example(Or any Michael Bay flick come to think of it), most of the time you couldn't even see what the hell was going on, especially in the Optimus and Bonecrusher fight. Yeah Wiseman should do alright, I didn't mind the Underworld flicks either. |

Why don't they get Roger Christian to the Gears of War film , he done a great job with Battlefiled Earth.

Just because a game sells well, doesn't mean it's going to make a decent film.
I wish film companies would get their head around this. |

Die Hard 4.0 wasn't called that in the States, only over here.
And Tokyo Drift was nicely done, if you've not seen it it's the only one worth checking out. Could be interesting. |

Len Wiseman is a solid director.
Lets face it its the script/screenplay that will make or break this film. Given that Wiseman can handle action scenes and set up effects shots hes a good choice. Lets just hope they get teh casting right I for one cant think of a single actor that could play marcus fenix. Maybe bruce willis hes bald, big and probably teh right age to play teh grizzled vet. |

Am I the only one here who thought Die Hard 4 was cool? It was fast paced and full of action, bunch of cheesy one liners - it was like I'd gone back in time to the late 80's, but with modern FX :) It was great!
I think Les is a good chioce for director (I mean, this is GoW...). I am a bit suspect about the script writer tho... time will tell, I guess

With that guys at the helm, there is 100% chance of the film being teeny-bubblegum-disposable crap.
