ALRIGHT, I HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE, YET, BUT IF STONE COLD SHOWS SOME GOOD ACTING CHOPS IN "THE CONDEMNED", THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CONSIDER THE 6'1" 235# WRESTLER AS A POTENTIAL MARCUS PHOENIX. HIS GOT THE BUILD, THE GRIT, AND A VOICE TO MATCH MARCUS'S RUMBLE.

NOW, I'M NO WWE OR RAW FAN, BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE A MOVIE LIKE GEARS, YOU ARE GOING TO NEED SOME BIG PHYSICAL BODIES. BREAK OUT THE CASTING RING CLIFFY, CAUSE I THINK I HEAR STONE COLD KNOCKING AND I THINK HE WANTS IN!

Not sure (none / 0)

about Steve Austin. But how about his co-star, the actor who played the Juggernut.

  Nah, He is a bit too old, and Marcus certainly doesn't have a brit accent. Vinnie is Vinnie. Atleast Steve Austin is a relative new comer to the big screen.

  Hey, I'm just punting up possibles for the big screen version of Gears and hadn't seen Austin's name thrown into the hat. We don't want to see Jason Stratham scooping the role, right.

I had a thought, (none / 0)

Gears has the perfect opportunity of creating a movie script that we havent' seen. What I mean is the movie could be about Emergence Day and all the doings that put Marcus in prison. If they did this, then a young fresh face wouldn't really be out of the question. A relatively unknown, so to speak. In fact, a whole new cast could be introduced, except for whomever plays Dom and Hoffman.
That would leave EPIC to the game's storyline continuing where we left off and being a perfect tie-in to what they have already established. I wonder if this was all part of Cliffy's master plan?
It could work. Everyone would be going to a movie, not knowing what to expect, as opposed to when (if) we go to see Halo in the cinema. We'll know what is going to happen each step of the way and will have our expectations weighing against the film. In the case of Gears going to the beginning for the film, they would be able to present new material that has no great expectation/comparison to what we beleive it should be.
The more I think about this approach the more I think it a fun idea, and this could be one way that a film based on a game can break out of mediocrity and be a surprise! That's what I'm taling about!

  and that stuff is something a lot of people want to know more about, so everyone who has played will be rushing to see it.

Btw, a metal gear solid movie is coming out.
if it's real live actors, kurt russel can be Solid Snake.

  Vin is bald and Marcus is definitely not bald. Besides, Vin already has a sci-fi hero image as Riddick. I dig Vin in Pitch Black and the Chronicles of Riddick, but I don't need to see him in Gears.
  Kurt as Snake, I never played the game so cant comment on the matter, but as for movie news, Gerard Butler (formerly King Leonidas) is tapped to be the new Snake Plissken in an upcoming Escape from NYC remake. Think on that for a bit.
