GEARS OF WAR II, also III...Any MOVIE info lately?

I was reading about the upcoming GOW sequal, and they mentioned a slip up by one of the programmers concerning the THIRD installment of the GEARS OF WAR TRILOGY!

Has anyone heard any updates concerning the major motion picture?

Gears on the big screen! Can't wait!

Who should they cast as the 5 DELTA members?

Marcus - Arnold Schwarzenegger

Dom - Sylvester Stallone

Cole - "The Rock"! "Can you smell what 'The Rock' is cookin'?"

Baird - Dolph Lundgren

Carmine - Vin Diesel, Jean-Claude VanDammeor Woody Allen

Woody's my personal favorite here!

- Gods of plunder

Great thread. Lucky for you, I already played Gears of War 2 and have an advance review!

Gears of War 2

Epic took the 360 by storm with the original Gears of War, and rightly so the entire planet has high expectations for the sequel. For the most part, you won't be disappointed. Everything you liked about the first game is back but tuned a little bit more. This is especially evident in the multiplayer where each weapon is back but with a little more balance. The shotgun is still the preferred weapon up close, but it is no longer the killing machine it once was. Instead, it fits its purpose like it was supposed to. This type of fine tuning is shown throughout the game, and at least from a gameplay perspective, makes it feel like a drastic improvment.

One of the many complaints about Gears of War was its plot, or lack of one. There is now a fully featured storyline in Gears 2, but this is a bittersweet victory. Seeing how well the commercial featuring "That one song that plays kinda towards the end of Donnie Darko, that movie that nobody understands but that emo kid pretends to" helped sales, Epic has made the game much more depressing. Gone are the days when Cole says, "CAN'T STOP THE TRAIN BABY!" or when Baird gives a reaffirming "STAY DEAD!" during a curb stomp. Instead, we get to listen to Marcus complain about his dad and deal with all the issues from having his dad be the chief expert for the prosecution during his trial. Many times you have to take time out to tell yourself that this is Gears of War 2, not the Simple Plan reunion tour. The gameincludes many awkward flashback scenes with tween Marcus (who still has facial hair... guess real heroes pube out early) playing thrashball with his father. Though these try to build up an emotional connection and make the player care about the plot, but the dialogue is so out there it just doesn't work. After careful analysis of Xbox Live's members while playing games like Halo 2, Epic wrote such lines as, "Why don't you try again after your balls drop Marcus!"

8.5/10

C'mon! Arnold, The Rock and Woody Allen together in an action movie without any real plot? Can you say MOVIE OF THE FREAKING CENTURY?
