Variety reports that Underworld and Die Hard 4.0 director Len Wiseman is to direct the Gears of War movie. Chris Morgan is penning a new draft of the script and will also be developing the story with Wiseman.
New Line secured the rights to the big screen adaptation last year. Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey will produce under their Temple Hill banner and Gears of War lead designer Cliff Bleszinski will exec produce and consult on its development.
Epic Games vp Mark Rein commented: “It’s like with our games, you can have it right or have it right now. We want to get it right. There’s no timetable for us. We just want to make as good a movie as we can, and we think (Wiseman’s) the guy who will do it.”
The movie had originally been intended for a summer 2009 release, but extended development of the project is now expected to change that plan.
