As a Gears fan, this sounds absolutely awful. Not just the rock to star as Marcus but the entire idea of a film. Sure the entire lack of any type of real story is fine in a video game where you are absorbed in playing the game, but turning that into a movie is going to fail no matter how well of a script you have, the calibur of director or actors. There just isn't enough room to make something cinematically great with what's there to work with given the template laid out by the source material.

My guess is that this would be the prequel to the games.

So it might not be all that bad.

 

 They've failed to make a movie worth a fart from source material with far more potential. The best this movie could be is a movie with impressive action sequences. But I'm not sure if it would get a high enough budget for that, and when has that made a good movie? Wolverine cost 150 million to make and was crappy and with less then stellar cgi but still had some good fight scenes. Didn't save the movie though.
