The Gears of War movie. Yes, it's still happening. Apparently production is moving forward again after netting the talents of Scott Stuber to helm the project. That's the producer of Battleship and Ted, by the way.
Epic Games will be co-developing the script with Stuber, which suggests that everything that has been written since 2007 has been largely scrapped or re-written several times over. According to Variety, Stuber is to enter talks with studio Universal on the project, but no specific 'talent' - actors, writers, distributors - have been locked down yet.
The Gears of War movie was first discussed around six years ago, when New Line Cinema was on board to create the flick with Collateral writer Stuart Beattie. Things have gone downhill since then, with Cliff Bleszinski saying in 2010 that the reason for the film's delay was a disparity between budget and romantic content. El Oh El.
