Gears of War Movie Script ONLINE

Wow, this was fast. With the Halo movie stuck in litigation, it seems that Gears of War is poised to become the next Xbox360 title coming to theaters. Stuart Beattie’s(Also wrote Pirates of the Caribbean, Collateral) initial draft of the script is now online, with spoilers galore.
The movie seems to take place before the events of the game, with a focus on Marcus Fenix’s father as a main plot element. I’m guessing it will sort of be like 300, with tough guy actors muttering phrases like “I ain’t got time to bleed…”. Only instead of swords we get chainsaw bayonets and giant shoulder pads.
There is no suspected schedule for filming to begin, but we’ll keep you up to date as more information surfaces.
