Gears of War director confirmed!!!

Wiseman Directs "Gears of War" FilmBy Garth FranklinTuesday, June 17th
2008 1:12amLen Wiseman ("Underworld," "Live Free or Die Hard") is set
to direct the hit Xbox 360 video game adaptation "Gears of War" for
New Line says the trades.
Chris Morgan ("Wanted," "Fast and Furious") has been hired to write
the screenplay based on a story treatment he will develop with
Wiseman. It's not sure how much of Stuart Beattie's original draft
will survive.
Set on the planet Sera, the game thrusts players into a battle for
survival between humans and a race of creatures that surface from the
bowels of the planet known as the Locust Horde. Players assume
identities of soldiers on Delta Squad as they fight to save Sera's
inhabitants.
The award-winning game sold more than three million units worldwide in
its first ten weeks and is Microsoft's second-biggest seller after the
"Halo" franchise. A sequel game hits stores this Thanksgiving.
This movement on the project also indicates that the new form of New
Line, as a sub-division of parent company Time Warner, will be
handling big-budget action fare rather than low-budget speciality
titles as previously thought.
