update on Gears of War film

from killer film:

Probably surpassing Halo in its popularity on the Xbox, Gears of war and its hugely successful sequel  are to put it lightly extremely popular with the gaming crowd, so when news came of a film adaptation in the works the news came with skepticism and overwhelming joy.   Chris Morgan who previously penned Wanted and the last two Fast and Furious films will be doing the screenplay for the Gears of War film which has the infamous delta squad battling the deadly alien race called the locust horde.  Morgan, just recently gave an update on the films status and states: “A draft went in and we’re talking about it now and we’re budgeting it out,”  “It’s looking incredibly good.”

“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.”   Morgan also stated on the huge scope of the film stating:“It’s huge,”   “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.”
