Here’s a quick update on the Gears of War movie lots of people want to see happen. For the last couple of months, we haven’t heard anything new about it. It seems, they are pretty busy with the development of the franchise’s third entry due next April – I have no problem with this.
“We got really close to making it with [director] Len Wiseman. It was like a $150 million budget, and at that point the studio decided they wanted to do the more contained kind of Cloverfield version of the film,” Godfrey recalled.
He continued, “So we’ve kind of gone back to the drawing board and we’re about to hire a writer and do something that’s much more experiential and less of the big, bloated videogame movie, which we’re actually creatively excited about.”
“I think a lot of times when these films fail you’re trying to have characters sit there and talk about the backstory and the plot, and when in reality you want to be in the experience of the game,” Godfrey added.
