It's Time for Gears of War

Len Wiseman has signed on to direct New Line's Gears of War, based on Microsoft and Epic Games' hit videogame.

Fanboys have been speculating for nearly a year that Wiseman may direct the project. The game was even featured in his most recent film, Live Free or Die Hard.

Gears of War 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 had initially aimed for a summer 2009 release for the picture, but further development on the project now will likely delay that plan. No production date has been set.

I'll keep you updated in the coming days about this project.
