XXX: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE Writer Joins Universal Studios' GEARS OF WAR Adaptation

Well if it got a Xander Cage writer, then that’s obviously a good sign.

On a non-sarcastic note, the only video game movie I care about atm is Jordan Vogt Roberts Metal Gear movie, hopefully there’s an update on that soon.

Why can’t we get a fallout show such a great world

That doesn’t bode well lol.

Hollywood needs to learn that this videogame properties have so much potential IF the right talent is tapped.

Throw the same resources that go into comic book movies (high profile actors, talented writers/directors, a large budget to create authentic visuals, etc) and you would have a MONSTER cash cow.

They better not balls this one up & put it in the bad games to movie adaptations!

Gears is my favourite gaming franchise & IMO, in terms of shooters, it goes Gears > Halo > COD.

The material from the Gears games is PEREFCT for adaptation to film & has some scenes from each game that would look tremendous on the big screen.

Hopefully not too many changes story wise or for the adaptation to film, because just like Comic Book Movies, a lot of people in the theatres probably won't have played the games unless they're a casual or avid gamer. Hope when they get to the Dom stuff from Gears 2 & 3 in the movies they are able to crush everybodies emotions with it in live action so needs perfect writing & excellent casting choices.

But having the writer from Xander Cage............ As much as I enjoy a cheesy action flick with Vin & enjoy the XXX Movies for what they are, this doesn't really fill my expectations for this franchise with hope!

As for the typical typecast of Batista for the role, I'd like a joint casting where they use Batista for the physical role but have Dimaggio do the voice.... That voice is synonomous with Fenix!
