A 21-page treatment by Stuart Beattie (Collateral) secured New Line the theatrical rights, with Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey producing. Gears of War lead designer Cliff Bleszinski will exec produce and consult on its development.

“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,” Godfrey told Daily Variety.
Bowen and Godfrey will start looking for a director once Beattie has completed work on the script, with the aim to have the movie ready for a summer 2009 release.
