Bleszinski wants 'real actor' for Gears of War movie


Given his entrenchment in the testosterone-fueled franchise, it comes as little surprise to see Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski expressing the highest of hopes for the forthcoming film adaptation. For one, he's keen on a "real actor" portraying the role of curb-stomping muscle mattress, Marcus Fenix.

"Definitely not a wrestler. I think just go with a real actor," he told IGN in a recent chat. "You know... like a Clive Owen type; somebody who can actually act and is incredibly charismatic. And they can put him on a workout plan for six months so he can build the muscle mass he needs."

Two things, Mr. Bleszinski. Number one: The only way a human being is going to build up Fenix-worthy muscle mass is by crawling through a giant elastic band with eight other body builders. Number two: How dare you erect an exclusionary wall between wrestlers and real actors. The Rock Mr. Dwayne Johnson brought tears to our eyes in Doom! Easily the best comedy of 2005.
