The guy who does Cole's voice also plays Terry Tate the Office Linebacker. He would be good for the role. Everyone else would need to be replaced though.

the locust talk. not a whole lot but they can. just because u dont hear them a lot in the game dont mean they dont talk to eachother and plan battles. the game never shows their side of the story.
but idk how they will do the chainsawing or curbstomping. they might just not do it.

The queen interacts with humans, she can talk...I have faith in these guys, it's not like that uwen bowl (or whatever the hell his name is) is doing the movie. We have actual people that know what the hell they are doing making this movie.
Time and money will mos def, not be wasted. I don't see Epic games just stand by and watch someone totally desecrate their game, I can't wait for this to happen!
A couple people who I think would be awesome to play the parts
Marcus - Bruce Willis would be good I think, or the guy that played dominic in prisonbreak...I more partial to the dominic guy playing marcus...would be kick ass
Cole- it has already been said and I fully agree...the guy that plays Terry Tate, his name is actually Lester Speight
Dom - I think the guy that voiced him (picture above) should play him in the movie, he looks the part and well, sounds the part too...DUH! haha
hoffman - r. lee erey would be kick ass, haha
Baird I just saw on another site, some guy thought Neil McDonough would be perfect to play Baird, and looking at it and his previous movies, I think he is dead on
and for all the battle scenes....just because it has not been done before, does not mean they cant do it...this movie can be a chance to revitalize the movie business and do things that no other movie has done or even thought to do before. With all the programs and skills of people out there, this movie could be unstoppable

i just got the best idea for it..they could get the battles, chainsawing, curbstomping, etc, all perfect...
MAKE IT A CG'D/ANIMATED MOVIE...
i mean really. wouldnt that just make sense? sure, they arent real people, but imo thats the best way to make a gow movie and not have to figure out how to do certain things like the chainsawing, curb stomping, etc...plus, w/ the shotguns, CG/Animating the body explosion (you know, when youre close and shotgun and they just fall apart) would be easier then trying to figure out how to do that w/ real people..
just my 2 cents tho...i think thatd be easier...

Just came across this on Gears of War Movie Chronicles.com...This is what was said.
EDIT: Im reporting this to Boobs to see if he can fix it...Good information coming soon, lol
Quote by Gears of War Movie Chronicles:
Casting
The first questions concerned casting, in particular the (entirely unsubstantiated) rumors that wrestlers would be cast as main characters. Wiseman said that casting strong men wouldn’t be his choice, instead, “I’m looking for an actor for the role and then [I'll] put him into shape”, adding “I’m always thinking who could play the best Marcus. You want to get hooked into the character [first] and then all the amazing spectacle.”
As for the casting of Maria, Len Wiseman wants his wife Kate Beckinsale to play the badass female role, “If I can convince — and I think I have a shot — I’d love to see that.”
Plot
Emergence day will play a big role in the movie’s plot, but the films are unlikely to closely follow the games. Whilst promising to follow the Gears history closely, he made no guarantees about “appeasing gamers”. Rod Ferguson, the game’s executive producer, explained:
“You can be too tied to what is the game. We’re so oriented at grabbing the gaming audience, we don’t leave behind what shouldn’t be in the movie. We’re about making the best movie possible, not about making Gears of War the game into a movie… previous movies haven’t been willing to let go. We had only three pages [of notes for Wiseman]. ‘Please don’t kill Marcus.’
To summarize, the studios have been asked to:
“make the best movie possible that fits your medium.”
Changes may include female COGs.
Wiseman and Morgan add:
“The tone of the characters and how they interact with each other [lends to] the overall experience of the movie. Look at Aliens in terms of the dark environment, but then how much fun you have with the characters.”
“Even though the world is literally at an end, they still joke. They have real emotion and compassion.”
Before Wiseman concludes,
“There’s so much opinion out there about what this movie should be and shouldn’t be, it falls on a very small group of people… and I’m one of those people. Are you going to respect the game? Of course I am. It is a different experience from watching a movie, but it’s my job of translating it into the best cinematic story possible.”
Thanks Bill!

I'm not trying to double post, but everything I type in the box above puts it all in the quotes...idk why though, i coded it correctly.....oh well
Taco
Even though it would be cool to see a movie in any form for Gears of War. I feel the only way to do this, is to make an actual movie out of it. You do not get the same "OH SHIT!" factor out of a CGI animated film, as you would if you actually saw someone get curb stomped or blown up on the big screen in a real movie. There are so many things that this movie can bring to the industry, it would be a crime to not make this into an actual movie...lol...Just like the Halo movie, lol

ok dude i couldnt hardly read half of what that quote said cause of the wierd symbols were quotes and apostrophes should be O-o so like..yea..not going to try
@kidd - yea i know. that is right. itd be cooler to see a real guy curbed instead of a CG'd guy...im just saying tho. CG'n it would be easier on the people trying to make the movie. the different like, explosions from the shotgun, headshots, curbs, etc. would be easier made cg'd. just my two cents tho. wether its real or cg'd, it should be a good movie...as long as someone doesnt f it up...

Didn't like the game too much, just sold it...But I can see the movie being great. I'll probably be seeing this. I just hope it's live action, not CG.
