Wyck Godfrey, producer of the Gears of War movie, has been speaking to 'Making Of' about the transition from video game to Hollywood movie.

"The hard part is to make [Gears of War] into something that doesn't feel like a world torn asunder and people just in battle," he said. "I think we really want to focus on the idea of a world that's running well and then it's Emergence Day."

He added that he would like the film to tell the story of people's survival in the 48 hours following Emergence Day - likening the experience to recent monster movie Cloverfield.

Emergence Day was the day that the Locust Horde emerged from underground and launched an assault upon the human race. In twenty four hours, the Locusts attacked every major city across the planet Sera.

I like the sound of this! I think it will tie in with the game really well and actually show us what actually happened, also to Marcus. I think this is going to be a good start for the movie. CAN'T WAIT!

Wait, Is it going to use a real camara or silly omg it is filmed by a real person at the time?

Also I hope they start making Movies of games with Epic stories not crap ones, I cant say how glad I am they stoped the Halo movie and made the epic District 9.

I want an MGS movie or before people point out maybe get a game first...

Sounds like the plot is going along the right lines. Granted it's early days and the cast is still to be decided and script. Still want "Mickey Rourke" to play Marcus.
