Dallinor, I think Gears of War having a wafer-thin plot will work to the movies advantage. The movie can fill in the details that the game did not. Not only that, the there will be less for the movie to contradict. I think a Metal Gear Solid move would be much more difficult to pull off. Kojima goes into great detail in the MGS series. A lot of that detail would have to be change, removed, or glossed over to fit MGS into a two hour movie. Thats the problem with most game movies. They change, gloss over, or ignore too much of what made the game popular. As long as Uwe Boll stays away from Gears of War, it at least has the chance of being watchable. I would suggest they get a hold of Chris Nolan, Bryan Singer, or Sam Raimi if they want the to turn out well though. |
It may infact work to its advantage, they always say short stories make the best films, being easier to elaborate on, rather then taking a lengthy novel and compacting it. My question though was why was it chosen? It's a rather clichéd story and I would have thought some other games may have made for better films.
I have seen numerous movie scripts before and although they are undoubtfully important in the makings of a film, a script is just a script, It's the director/cast/crew/vision coupled with a fine script that will make or break the movie.
This script extract is very descriptive but vague, and contains very little information on the possible quality of the dialogue. I think it gives a taste of the story, and general direction of the movie, but its impossible to judge if this movie even has a chance just from this small piece.
