Gears of War movie is 'looking incredibly good'

Screenwriter says fans are going to be 'thrilled with it'.

Gears of War movie screenwriter Chris Morgan has revealed to MTV that should his script pan out as intended fans are going to be "thrilled".

“A draft went in and we’re talking about it now and we’re budgeting it out,” Morgan told MTV. “It’s looking incredibly good.”

“I think the gamer side is going to be thrilled with it,” said Morgan. “All the stuff you want to see, we put that in there and then we blow it out a little more, even. Now it’s just a matter of honing in on all of the character arcs and determining production types of things.”

The New Line project currently has Die Hard 4 and Underworld helmer Len Wiseman attached to direct.

The only thing that could potentially hold the movie back is its budget, but not if Morgan gets his wish.

“It’s huge,” said Morgan. “One of the things they’re really talking about now is the budget of the film and how big of a spectacle this is going to be. My argument is, look at the underlying material. Look at the game and the scenario - the fact that the world is being taken over by the Locust, it has to be huge.”
