Die Hard director to helm Gears movie

This is not the Die Hard director you were looking for.

Sorry folks, John McTiernan the director of Predator and Die Hard is not helming the Gears of War movie.

Instead, according to Variety, Die Hard 4.0 director Len Wiseman will be handling the role.

Wiseman will develop the movie's story with new scriptwriter Chris Morgon who is rewriting the original screenplay from Stuart Beattie.

Originally the movie was planned for a release next summer, but extended development time is likely to push that back to Christmas 2009 at the earliest.

I can see it now. Lots of dark rooms and gloomy outdoor shots with CGI creatures running about growling and being much less impressive than the ones in the game. Perhaps even CGI rain and actors called.....well who really cares what their names are. We won't know them or remember them anyway. Could be worse though. Ewe Bolle anyone?
