Despite a few months of silence, an update to the upcoming Gears of War movie was made today from producer Wyck Godfrey. Regarding the movie, Godfrey said, "We’ve got our script on and a director we’re about to attach. We’ll hopefully make that early next year for the summer of 2010."
So there we go folks, if things are looking good, the movie will hit theaters in about two years. There were some initial reports of budget problems a few months ago but it looks like they’ve been worked out.
Announced in March 2007 after acquiring the film rights from Epic Games, New Line Cinema is pushing all of its guns forward for the film. The script was written by Stuart Beattie (Collateral, Derailed, Australia).
Returning this coming November will be Gears of War 2 so by then, we’ll see if there are tie-ins between the two properties.
