GEARS OF WAR director found, shooting 2009 for a 2010 release?

We are a few short days away from it marking six months since Live Free or Die Hard director Len Wiseman left the video game adaptation of Gears of War and according to the film's producer Wyck Godfrey we might soon hear who his replacement is...

"We've got our script on and a director we're about to attach. We'll hopefully make that early next year for the summer of 2010," said Godfrey.

After dropping out of the Escape from New York remake, Wiseman has a completely free schedule so they may have gone back to that well again. The name of Alfonso Cuaron is also getting branded around a lot but I think that's more out of hope than any expectation. Out of the big five video games (or at least I class them the big 5) Gears of War,Halo, Grand Theft Auto, God of War and Metal Gear Solid - I actually think this game has the least chance of being a good movie simply because of it's key lack of plot (it's typically a gamers game) but with Stuart Beattie (Collateral) the man writing the script, there's at least some hope of a story being crafted there. source - coming soon
