Gears of War movie gets more financing
Variety reports that Legendary Pictures has signed on to co-finance and co-produce the upcoming Gears of War film adaptation. This comes in the wake of Legendary financing another film based on a little game called World of Warcraft. Legendary also recently had its hand in The Dark Knight, which is currently tearing up the box office. Epic guru Mark Rein said of the deal, "Legendary's appetite for the synthesis of gaming, film and pop culture meshes perfectly with our own." Well, that's good. We all like it when appetites for synthesis mesh.

The would have to just go ahead and cast Mighty Rasta as the Train himself.

Nah, I can only picture it being Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He'd be good for the role.

What the hell is the story going to be about? How the hell everyone got so damned big?
Fun game sure, but the plot was bare bones. So many other games deserving of a silver screen representation rather than this.

Example: Halo

So many games have deeper plots that could be made for film. Half-Life comes to mind. Hell I would rather of had Duke Nukem over Doom... At least we would have gotten some space tits in the mix.
