    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>BIZ: What are your thoughts on going the 300 route with green screens and live actors to bring this world to life on the big screen?</p>

    </p>

    CliffyB: That's a visual element. That's a budget concern that they did 300 for $60 million in front of green screens in Montreal and it was a huge success. My concern is that Hollywood has this love-hate relationship with rated R movies. They go through phases where they're convinced that they can't make a rated R movie that will sell well because it will cut out that whole audience. But any time a new Saw movie or a 300 comes along, it proves them wrong. As long as it's a good movie, people will pack in the seats. The fact that Gears is an M-rated franchise and involves people getting chainsawed in half, it's got to be a pretty f***ing hardcore movie.</div></p>

    Awesome.</p>

    They aren't saying much but my guess is we will be playing the sequel late next year.</p>

    Haven't played the game, but I've seen the commercials, read reviews, and stuff about the game. looks good.</p>

    I still don't think it'll be better than the MGS movie.</p>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Just when we were starting to get excited about the upcoming movie adaptation of Microsoft's blockbuster Gears of War comes word that the project may be running into trouble, according to IESB.net.</p>

    </p>

    According to IESB's source, "...due to the budget concerns the studio has, New Line will most likely not be moving forward on this film."</div></p>

    This movie would kill in the box office. Its not some stupid cult PC game (Doom), Gears could be a franchise.</p>

    ^ Are they really doing that? The first thing I said after I finished that game was that they should make it into a movie. That would be awesome if they do it properly.</p>

    first off, having beaten Gears of War has made me wonder how kick ass a movie made off this movie would be. It'd be sorta scary, kinda funny at times, and a bloody gory mess, just how the game is. Whoever plays Pheonix better be worth the spot lol. And plus, a Halo movie is already being made... and damn it is going to KILL the box office, but if Gears comes out with a movie and a Gears of War 2 game for the 360... Halo3's record sales may be broken</p>

    According to GameSpot, GTAIV already beat Halo's record by 4 times its record. Even though the game hasn't come out yet.</p>

    Hell yeah, Gears of war movie would be awesome, cole,baird,marcus, great characters, I would personally go watch it, most game movies are stupid, but this is one, I think will be a hugehit if they keep the story like the game.</p>
