During a livestream dedicated to Gears of War earlier this evening the Coalition's Head of Studio, Rod Fergusson, announced that they're working with Universal on a Gears of War movie.
Fergusson said that the reason for most video game movies failing is that they're made for gamers. That's why they're just going make a movie set in the Gears of War universe, with not as much focus on referencing the games.
The movie is currently in early pre-production, so they can't talk about casting, writers or release date yet. This will let us speculate and share our wishes. Who do you want to pen the movie, and who should play Marcus Fenix if he's in it?
