Weapon 117 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 http://gamervision.com/contributed/1241553469GQCOeRy8RQ.jpg Most of the time, for better or worse, movies based on games disappear. Recently, Peter Jackson's Halo film comes to mind, and it appears that producers get really excited to make a film based on a game when the title is hot, and forget about it the following month. Gears of War film's screenwriter, Chris Morgan, recently revealed that this isn't the case for that movie, and it's actually approaching production. “A draft went in and we’re talking about it now and we’re budgeting it out. It’s looking incredibly good,” Morgan said in an interview with MTV. Not only is the script done, apparently, but it's getting close. This doesn't mean that the film is a go, and budgeting is still an early step in the overall production, but it's a good sign. Hopefully this will all go well, and casting will commence in the (somewhat) near future. “One of the things they’re really talking about now is the budget of the film and how big of a spectacle this is going to be. My argument is, look at the underlying material. Look at the game and the scenario — the fact that the world is being taken over by the Locust, it has to be huge.” Source: http://www.gamervision.com/gamer/coop/news/article/gears_movie_progressing_smoothly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SynysterMonkey Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I reeeeeally hope rock aint playing marcus Seconded... I still want a CGI movie. I don't think actors will ever be as cool as the real characters. But I am glad that the movie is actually making "progress." Let's just hope they pull this off.

KNIGHTOFSERA Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I agree with CGI that way it feels connected to the game, and you have the same voice actors, sometimes when you pick an actor to play a character they are the wrong fit and jack up the whole movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadly Moves Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I really hope they dont funk it up like most game movies. It would be miles better if it were CGI with the original voice actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

androsmere Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Video games made into movies ALWAYS suck. It would be funny to see smoke grenades knocking over real people though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sln333 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 As long as the chainsaw has a vacuum on the end of it the movie will be accurate. =) I love this game, but I don't have big expectations for the movie. Game movies generally suck. It's tough to get all the things right and not piss off any fans of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kunduz Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 well, if it's not going to CGI with the voice actors from the game, and if Epic games is not involved at all...THIS MOVIE WILL SURELY SUCK BALLS. Because there no good movies based of video games, nor is there any games that are based of movies. Expect for Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay(No, not the remake), which is actually better than the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry32 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I've been saying to my friends how sweet of a movie this would be, I hope it come out and hope it's a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIVEBY XD Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 if its not in CGI, its gonna be STUPID. if you don't have the voices, its gonna be a let down. If you don't have the looks, its gonna be a letdown. Plus, you can add in all the fresh shit from the game, like heads exploding (and making that tasty pop sound), cutting em up with the saw, and the locust would be much easier to do, along with all the huge monsters and huge vehicles the COG's transport troops with. blah blagh bahg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephantd Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) i hope the movie is like Lord of the rings. I prefur real actors, because i see more emotion in them, then in CGI. ________ Pornstars Canadian ________ BossIsHere live Edited September 10, 2011 by elephantd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlecArticuno Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Seconded... I still want a CGI movie. I don't think actors will ever be as cool as the real characters. But I am glad that the movie is actually making "progress." Let's just hope they pull this off. agreed, i think the fans would be less upset IF it turns out bad. so they cant blame it on the actors for being bad. (normally the case) CG gow movie would have ZERO chance of being bad, i mean its not like Marcus will complain about lag during the movie so i dont think they could go wrong.
