IGNtells us that the gears may be getting rusty on theGears of Warmovie project, and a recent clog might be grinding things to a halt.
In recent news aboutLen Wisemangiving up directing duties forEscape from New Yorkto Brett Ratner (great), it was said that he also won’t be directing New Line’sGears of Warmovie. IESB.net contacted a source at New Line to get more details on Wiseman’s departure, and that’s when the bad news was dropped:
“New Line Cinema will most likely not move forward with (Gears of War) at all. Our source is saying that the studio has concerns with ballooning budget of the film.”
Let’s hope that’s not true. Fat budget or not,Gears of Warcould be an easy and entertaning game film.
