Well, I took the plunge and read it. Without revealing anything, I can say it looks promising. BUT, I am not sure about how it would do in movie form. It does make a great piece of Gears-related fiction, but my problem is that it feels to much like it is written for the game, not the Gear's Universe. Too many possible instances that feel 'Doom-like' in terms of the action. I just want a movie with a story about the Gear's Universe, not specifically about the Gear's game.

My 2 cents.

I can see this becoming a huge pile of crap if they don't get the direction and casting spot-on-perfect... Which given New Line Cinema's past, we have a 50/50 chance of getting.

Well, I'm glad it's staying close to the game and not just using the name.

Don't get your hopes up. Gears was barely an outline of a plot. Halo had a much better fleshed out story, and they couldnt get that produced. Maybe they arent being as protective of Gears though.

Which means it'll probably suck.

This treatment sounds great so far, but I'll wait until a script gets leaked. So far, it sounds a lot more "survival horror" than the Gears of War game, featuring more running away than combat. I also like that the treatment reads essentially like a prequel to the game, with little to no overlap.

This makes me wonder if Gears is set in a universe which includes on Earth, because the treatment mentions humans being on Sera for only 500 years, implying that it is only a human colony.

Seemed pretty shitty to me. I don't know what kinds of movies you guys like, but it read like a horrible and cliched movie. Hell, the Doom movie read better than this.

That script looks like someone was just trying to cram everything from the game into a movie so that people living in their trailers will go and watch the movie, tip a beer to the screen and go, "Yep, just like in that there game!" LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME. This movie will find an audience primarily made up of Appalachians.

Marcus = Ron Perlman or Mickey Rourke (if Ron Perlman isn't General Raam - I can't imagine him getting cast in a role that doesn't require at least 60 lbs. of latex/makeup)

You're alone in the theater...


No... no, there's someone else here...


No, you're alone, and the words are coming into focus...
