Gears of War film producer, Wyck Godfrey, has told Making Of that he would like to tell the story of Emergence Day instead of just creating a movie full of battle, bullets, and macho muscle men.

“We went to the guys that created the game and just sort of made our pitch about how we’re going to put it together,” he said. “Right now we’re working with Len Wiseman on it at Legendary and New Line.

“The hard part is to make it into something that doesn’t feel like a world torn asunder and people just in battle. You gotta figure out — I think we really want to focus on the idea of a world that’s running well and then its Emergence Day.

“Kind of make it impactful and immediate and the survival of those 48 hours, as people survive Emergence Day – more like Cloverfield or something like that.”

Director Len Wiseman’s spoken for the first time on plans for the Gears of War movie, revealing the plan is to actually create three of them.

“It’s going to be much more [on the] science fiction side of it than the creature side of it. I’ve always been much more of a sci-fi action fan than a horror fan,” he told Bloody Disgusting.

“The hope is that were wanting to do a three movies and really cover the bases on everything. Basically a harder edged Lord Of The Rings.”

The first film’s due in 2010. There’s nothing else available on it at the moment.

According to this Variety report, Die Hard 4 director Len Wiseman has signed up to make the Gears of War movie.

A new script’s been written for the film, which was originally planned for a summer 2009 release, but is now likely to be delayed due to the project’s various hiccups.
