Len Wiseman (Underworld) Takes Control of Gears of War Movie

Deathsythe | June 18, 2008 | News | PC XBOX 360 Misc 
Len Wiseman, who previously has directed the likes us Underworld, yes that semi-entertaining movie about the struggle between vampires and werewolves, has signed onto direct the highly anticipated Gears of War Movie.

Good or bad? You be the judge.
Video-gamers are in for some interesting news. Len Wiseman, director of the Underworld movies, is going to direct the highly anticipated Gears of War movie. While some of you might be cringing right now (and I wouldn’t blame you), hear me out.

In recent years, a lot of video game movies have quite frankly sucked. (Doom and Bloodrayne, anyone?) Whether the reason was bad adaptation, unfaithful storyline, poor graphics, or general lack of interest…something came up short. A lot of these movies, however, were quite successful amongst die-hard fans (Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider). Still, there seems to be a curse placed upon these adaptations.
