Gears of War Movie!

[Fargoth]

On March 20, 2007, it was announced that New Line Cinema had purchased the rights to make a Gears of War film, with Stuart Beattie writing the script along with Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, who will be producing it. The film is scheduled to be released in 2009.[40] Producer Wyck Godfrey said of the film adaptation, "I'm not a gamer, but what blew me away about Gears was how it captures the mythology of a war mission and how high the stakes are."[41] It has been announced in the May 2007 issue of Game Informer that Cliff Bleszinski (lead designer of the game) will be the executive producer of the film.[citation needed] On August 3, 2007, AICN.com reported that Len Wiseman was to direct the movie adaptation of Gears of War.[citation needed], though on March 30, 2007, Godfrey stated that they have "a director we're about to attach" in order to film the movie during 2009 and release in 2010.[42]

As long as Uwe Boll isn't attached in any way I think this one has a chance.

I thought the movie was still a go.

I think Jak has an evil twin that goes around posting crazy from time to time.

I am trying really hard to think of a game that successfully transitioned to the cinema, and I can't think of any...

Tomb raider was successful, but crap.

Resident evil has been successful as far as video game crossovers go... but it works the same way 'round. Video -> game usually ends up being awful too.

Chronicles of Rid**** being one of few exceptions.

The only movie that was video game oriented besides Chronicles was Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children.

To, flip it; I feel that almost every single game based off of the Lord of the Ring franchise was well made.

What? You mean you guys didn't like "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within?"
Oh how about Double Dragon? You HAD to like Double Dragon.
Mortal Kombat wasn't horrible. It wasn't good, but it wasn't really gut-wrenchingly bad until the sequel.
I also thought Hitman was done pretty well.

The Live Action Halo Videos were not a trailer/preview for the halo movie.
