The insanely creative guys over at TeamXbox have posted a "create a cast" article for the upcoming New Line Cinema film, Gears of War. TXB offers up major hollywood players for readers to consider; Willis or Travolta, you decide.
Since New Line Cinema picked up the film rights for the big screen adaptation of Gears of War, fans around the world have been contemplating which actors should bring Delta Squad to life.
Almost all silver-screen adaptations of video-game franchises have been pathetic and cheesy, to say the least, but for the Gears of War film, the parties involved are taking their time to make sure this one is done right.
New Line Cinema hired Stuart Beattie (of “Pirates of the Caribbean” fame) to write the first draft, with Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey producing via their Temple Hill banner. Now that the project has received a boost from Legendary Pictures, which is coming on board to co-finance and co-produce the film, it has been confirmed that Len Wiseman (“Live Free or Die Hard”) will direct using a final script written by Chris Morgan, who has confirmed the game is a prequel to the first game.
Today, we make a casting call and we pick our favorites—and in the comments section, you decide who gets the parts.
