Legendary Pictures is supposedly in talks with Epic Games to acquire the Gears of War developer...
Legendary Pictures, a film financing company responsible for the in development Gears of War movie, is reportedly in talks with Epic Games to acquire the North Carolina based developer and creator of the Gears of War franchise.
This news comes from Variety, which cites a number of sources close to the two companies for the report, although neither organisation has officially commented on the supposed venture at this time.
Although film studios such as Warner Bros. (which Legendary has a co-financing and co-production agreement with for 25 films) have invested in game developers before, this would be the first example of a film financer investing in the industry.
Thomas Tull, Legendary Pictures' President, was previously on the board of developer Brash Entertainment (which has developed two film licensed games including Alvin and the Chpimunks), although he resigned less than a fortnight ago having originally co-founded the studio.
While Superman Returns, 300, and the new Batman movies are amongst the movies Legendary has previously funded, the financer also has World of Warcraft and Watchmen movies in production, while a Gears of War movie is in development under the company's awnings.
Len Wiseman was brought on board to direct the Gears film project earlier this year, having previously directed the Underworld movies, while Chris Morgan was also employed to re-write the project's script that was originally penned by Stuart Beattie.
With the added development time that this entails, the Gears of War film is now expected to miss its originally slated summer 2009 release window.

lol why would they release it on pc in fact why should they all you lot will do is download the pirate version anyway which is what happened with the first gears game on pc so instead of [#@!?]ing about it not comming out on pc youve only got your selfs to blame (or the idiots who diddnt pay for it in the shops/downloaded the pirate version)

I got a hang of Gears 2 when my friend lent me his xBox 360 and the Graphics seem to be better than Gears 1 .I tried using the xBox controller on my laptop to play Gears 1 and later I used the same to play Gears 2 on xBox.But didn't quite seem to enjoy the gameplay with xbox controller. I wonder if we could attach a mouse and keyboard to xBox so that I can play better as Mouse and Keyboard are far more better while playing shooter games.Even though the game Gears 2 looks great I am still convinced that I should go ahead to buy xBox just for the sake of playing this game.I will definately buy a Licensed version of Gears 2 if ported on PC or if the xBox 360 game Dvd can be run on Pcs or Laptops using some simulator or attaching an xBox DVD Drive.A PC version of this game will do wonders and justice to this game but the ending Boss fight is not so good.I enjoyed the Last Boss viz. General Raam . They should make final Boss Fight more challenging just like we had as General Raam. Anyways, I just hope Epic wakes up in time and release Gears 2 for Pc with a standard Specfication to run on PC viz. RAM , Graphices and CPU Requirements quoted on the released PC version of Gears 2 so that people cannot complain that Gears 2 is also glitchy.Gears 1 ran fine on my Laptop and I thank EPIC for providing such a wonderful game.

sorry but how long did it take for the first gears game to be ported to the pc, and yet pc players have been moaning about cliff even before the games release on the 360.
just get used to it gears 2 isnt comming out on pc, your more likly to see mario galaxy on the 360 than seeing gears 2 on the pc.

lol if you playing on a pirated/chipped/modded 360 its no wonder you cant play on live not only that but anyone with a modded xbox playing pirated game cant play multiplayer matches on live as microsoft instantly bans any account found playing on modded hardware which im in full support to them as the scum that pirate games/software cost the industry millions every year and you wonder why games cost so much, it all down to cheap scates not paying like all the other decent honest people out there (no piracy would mean cheaper games plus if the pirates haddnt made illeagl versions of the first gears you would have gears 2 on pc) so stop blaming Cliff Bleszinski its you fu.ck.ing pirates that need to rot in hell
