Variety is reporting that Legendary Pictures will co-finance and co-produce the Gears of War movie. It is the first New Line film that Legendary has signed since it became part of Warner Bros. earlier this year.
"Legendary's appetite for the synthesis of gaming, film and pop culture meshes perfectly with our own," said Epic Games President Mark Rein in a statement.
Currently, Len Wiseman is set to direct the Gears of War film, with writing credits going to Chris Morgan. Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey will produce Gears of War under the Temple Hill brand and Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski will consult and executive produce the film.
Despite original plans for a Summer 2009 release for the Gears of War movie, it seems likely that it will get shifted back to some later date. The game Gears of War 2 is set to release on Xbox 360 in November 2008.
