For
quite some time, the idea for a Gears of War movie has been floating around in
Hollywood, studios, writers and directors have tried to take a crack at it but
have been unsuccessful at adapting the popular video game series. Last year
Epic Games, the developers behind the game series, toke meetings with producers
to see if they could find one capable of finding a home for the project.
After
negotiations, producer Scott Stuber is officially on board the Gears of War
Movie project and Epic Games is going to develop their own script for the
movie, and although no studios are yet connected to the project, Stuber’s
relation with Universal is a bonus, since he produced with them Ted, Identity
Thief, Safe House and Battleship.
Now,
whether this means the project is finally going to be made or not, remains to
be seen, but at least things are coming along.
Synopsis:
“Gears of War takes place on the planet Sera. A liquid called
Imulsion became a highly valued power source after a scientist discovered how
to use it, and the economic shockwave led to several wars between nations. The
Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) originally existed only as an obscure
world-government philosophy, but it evolved into a legitimate, though minor,
political party during the 79-year-long Pendulum Wars. The Soldiers of the COG
are called gears. After "Emergence Day," when the Locust began their
attack on humanity, the COG were the ones who took the necessary steps to
ensure the survival of human civilization, instituting martial law and taking
charge of the effort against the Locust. Fourteen years later, the COG is the
only human government left on Sera. One year after E-Day (or emergence day)
after losing battle after battle against the Locust, the COG made the greatest
sacrifice using the Hammer of Dawn on Human cities giving the citizens of Sera
only three days to evacuate to the Jacinto Plateau, the only place Locust
couldn't dig through before pushing the proverbial button on the hammer strike.”
