Producer Wyck Godfrey confirmed that he's working on it with Underworld and Live Free or Die Hard director Len Wiseman for Legendary Pictures and New Line Cinema.

"The hard part is to make it into something that doesn't feel like a world torn asunder and people just in battle. I think we really want to focus on the idea of a world that's running well and then it's Emergence Day. Kind of make it impactful and immediate and like what those 48 hours are as people survive Emergence Day," said Godfrey. "It's more like Cloverfield or something like that because trying to tell the epic story of an alien planet that's living in a horrific environment just feels like the wrong mood right now."

The script for the Gears of War movie is currently being rewrote by Billy Ray.

Thanks IGN for the news.

I loved these games and can't wait for the next one but this movie has to have hope. Have you read what they are doing to halo its horrible. All we can do is hope people who care about GoW make this movie.

Totally down with the idea of it taking place around emergence day. That concept I think would be awesome. Everything nice and peaceful and the BOOM all hell literally breaks loose. I love alien invasion type movies.
