Underworld's Len Wiseman set to helm Gears of War movie
This morning, we've received more proof that given enough time, Joystiq is
always right (except when we're wrong). You may remember back in August of 2007 when
we told you that Len Wiseman, director of
Underworld and
Live Free or Die Hard, was in talks to direct a
film flick based on Epic's
Gears of War. Now, The Hollywood Reporter says New Line has signed Wiseman for the gig.
We're guessing that
original writer Stuart Beattie is out, as THR says the picture will be written by
Chris Morgan, who has previously worked on the screenplays for
Wanted (encouraging!) and
The Fast and the Furious 4: The Furiousening (troubling!). So there's your crew, what kind of
Gears movie are you expecting?
