Variety has the scoop on New Line's deal with Microsoft to bring Gears of War to the big screen.

New Line has won feature rights to Microsoft's hugely popular videogame "Gears of War" with Stuart Beattie writing and Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey producing via their Temple Hill banner. CAA conducted the auction, which featured a 21 page treatment by Beattie, who wrote "Collateral" and "Derailed."

In past interviews, CliffyB said he'd like Clive Owen for the role of Marcus Fenix but it is unknown how much control Microsoft and Epic will have on this film. Hopefully, this one will get done before the Halo movie.

Who would you like to star as Marcus Fenix? What about the rest of the COG team?

Epic has been talking about this since before the game came out. They are also looking towards Graphic Novels as well, can't wait!

They're only doing this 'cause Peter Jackson fucked up any chance of Halo being completed and Microsoft still wants money.
Isn't Gears of War consol only? That instantly means it sucks.

I can see why. The game looks so incredible it's like watching a movie anyway.

Wow, no Halo but instead Gears?

At least Halo had a somewhat original storyline. Gears imo is nothing more than Area-51 on steroids...

It doesn't suck at all, surprisingly. Gears of War is amazing.

it would be cool if done well, but it seems that game to movie (and vice versa) transitions are never good.

I didn't either, and I am quoting him on it.
