The Bootleg Revue

Bonsoir Bootleggers--- 1mbalanc3d here to fill you in on the upcoming (?) Gears of War.... MOVIE!

Now, being a pretty avid fan of both Xbox 360 titles i was amped to hear (several times) that a movie may be released...heres the back-story for the first title:

Gears of War takes place on the planet Sera. A radioactive liquid called Imulsion becomes a highly valued power source after a scientist discovers 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. 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.

Long Story Short.... Shit dun' happened and its time to fix it... You're Marcus Fenix, you've got your buddies Dominick Santiago, Baird, and the Cole-Train (Boom BABY!) Emergence day has hit and the Locust want all the glow-y, juic-y, goodness that is the Imulsion and your job is to stop them... Lancering, Curbstomping, and Shotgunning them all into submission! GO HOME BITCHES! (so much fun ^_^)....then it hit me... watch Hollywood fuck this one up too...especially with the low ratio of GOOD Game to Movie transitions and vice-versa.

With Len Wiseman (director) and Chris Morgan (writer, Wanted) at the helm GOW:TM is still in the earliest stages, but more importantly—it is still in production. How early? No concept art, casting or production stills yet. It seems like such a simple idea to produce... but rumors have it that that movie wont be 'fan-pleasing' at all to those that follow the storyline over the two game titles.. WHAT THE HELL?!... Seriously EPIC... you're going to allow Hollywood to botch your gaming giant.... well hopefully within the next few years we shall see (along with the release of Gears of War 3!).

No real news has been updated since early August of last year... but i'll update as, or if, things develop.... As a fan and a gamer, I only hope that with such a bad ass game as a precursor to a movie.. the producers keep the bitchassness to a minimum.
