Halo Movie “Entirely Dead”, Gears Of War Movie Bleeding Out
Friday, October 5th, 2007Creativity Online did an interview with Director Neill Blomkamp in which he says:
The film is entirely dead. In the configuration it was in. Whatever happens with that movie, assuming that movie gets made, will be a totally different configuration. It’s not so much me as the entire vessel sank. Basically, it was a combination of; there were two studios involved that weren’t getting along in the process of making it, Universal and Fox. That kind of stuff happens, it’s a fragile industry. So the film collapsed at the end of last year, and it’s been dead, ever since then. I’ll be curious to see what happens.
And if you were thinking “At least there’s still the steroid injected man on man action of the Gears Of War movie to look forward to”, well that isn’t looking to good either. IESB is reporting:
the IESB has been informed Wiseman is off Gears as well*** and that New Line Cinema will most likely not move forward with the film at all. Our source is saying that the studio has concerns with ballooning budget of the film.
***UPDATE 7:43pm PST: I clarified with my source, the status of Gears of War. Yes, Chud, Len Wiseman is still on the project currently, but it doesn’t look good, due to the budget concerns the studio has, New Line will most likely not be moving forward on this film.
Oh well neither of the films could have lived up to the standard set by the Silent Hill movie anyway.
