Comic-Con 08: Cliff Bleszinksi Has High Hopes For Gears of War Movie
by Dylan Duarte on July 26, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Continuing our coverage of Comic-Con 2008, during a Gears of War panel, the developer formerly known as CliffyB was asked about the upcoming film adaptation of his beloved shooter. Read what he had to say after the break.
Everyone knows that videogame-to-film adaptations have a pretty awful track record, so Cliff started off by addressing just that.
“Look, we know that video game movies have been pretty bad, but just think how bad comic book movies were for such a long time.”
With The Dark Knight getting rave reviews and smashing box office records left and right, it’s a great time to point that out. Cliff then goes on to say that they aren’t just looking at any buff, meaty guys to fill the roles.
“I know people have ideas where they want to see some wrestler, some huge buff guy. The thing we care most about is charisma, someone you’d want to watch for two hours.”
It’s an odd choice of words, as professional wrestlers are very charismatic. Still, I get what he’s saying.
Gears of War is currently set to hit theaters Summer 2010.
