You know, "Great" and "C-Grade" are conflicting terms. 
Tomb Raider, Doom, Resident Evil Apocalypse, Silent Hill, etc... all mediocre movies at best.

Len Wiseman confirmed as GoW director
| Quote: | Len Wiseman is suiting up to direct New Line's "Gears of War," based on Microsoft and Epic Games' hit vidgame.
Chris Morgan is penning a new draft of the actioner that Stuart Beattie originally tackled.
Fanboys have been speculating for nearly a year that Wiseman may helm the project; the game was featured in his most recent pic, "Live Free or Die Hard." But talks with New Line took place only over the last several months.
Wiseman will develop the story with Morgan. The two are also collaborating on the sci-fi action thriller "Shell Game" at Lakeshore Entertainment and Columbia Pictures. Wiseman, who established himself in the biz as an art director on pics like "Godzilla" and "Independence Day," is also producing the third installment of Screen Gems' "Underworld" franchise after having helmed the first two.
"Gears" revolves around a world reeling from an invasion by aliens known as the Locust, and a small team of elite soldiers who fight to retake the planet Sera and save its human inhabitants.
New Line landed the rights to create a bigscreen version of the game last year, with Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey producing via their Temple Hill banner. "Gears" lead designer Cliff Bleszinski will exec produce the film and consult on its development for Epic.
"Gears" is Microsoft's second-biggest seller after the "Halo" franchise, and gamemaker Epic always intended to branch out the property into various media, such as films and novels, with an extensive backstory it developed.
A sequel game to "Gears'" first outing in late 2006, which was available for the Xbox 360 only, will ship in November. The game has sold more than 3 million copies.
New Line had initially aimed for a summer 2009 release for the pic, but further development on the project now will likely delay that plan.
"It's like with our games, you can have it right or have it right now," said Epic Games topper Mark Rein. "We want to get it right. There's no timetable for us. We just want to make as good a movie as we can, and we think (Wiseman's) the guy who will do it." |

I think it might work for this guy, he did direct Underworld & the sequel evolution. Plus Live free or Die Hard. Guess we will see what happens when the movie hits the big screen, in my home that is lol.

yep definately coulda been a lot worse... and to be fair, you couldnt get much BETTER. all the other good directors are currently busy (cameron, del toro, jackson, fincher, verhoeven woulda been great, but hes a pussy now...). if wiseman's involved, atleast its going to be action packed, and visually amazing. hes a very talented director. i think realistically hes the best possible director that we could hope for.

more likely, because it confused and scared him, and the main character didnt have any super powers. also there were no gun fights, explosions, or naked chicks. silent hill was a great film, from an awesome director.

So you blame the director based on what happens in the story? It's good to know that some people still believe directors write their own movies.  I guess he fucked up big time...

You're right, they don't. However many directors have the power to get parts of or the entire script rewritten by getting a different writer. |

id be surprised if many directors had that kind of power.. id say 'some' at the higher levels would have that kind of power - major names, and such..., but most directors would at maybe get away with changing a line or 2 at most...

Producers have the say. Directors have the say if they produce their own works.

Tis back: http://www.gamingcapacity.com/gears-of-war-movie-back-in-business/
| Quote: | | Producer Scott Stuber has signed on with the project. Stuber is known for multiple big budget films, including the recent action film Battleship and the humorously crude comedy Ted. At this time no writers or distributors have been attached to the project, however Stuber has announced he will work with his own studio Bluegrass Films, with Epic Games developing the script and financing the movie. |
