Chris Morgan just finished the Gears screenplay and knows whoâd be a perfect Marcus Fenix. âA really fâing good actorâ who can blend silent toughness with humanity. AKA Dwayne âThe Rockâ Johnson!

Well, that plainly describes the job description Johnson faced in âWalking Tall,â so of course heâd be perfect as a post-apocalyptic Buford Pusser.
Sensitive? Funny? Sad? I know Gears of War 2, the game, won praise for writing and developing characters that a player might actually care about. But who are we kidding here. This is a movie adaptation of a game, and the financiers of such projects couldnât give a shit for a plot or dialogue. Theyâre greenlit because they put asses in theater seats for a single, easily marketable reason: shooting shit and/or kicking ass, not interpersonal communication.

This isnât the first mention of the Rock as Gears material. Back in October, Ripten hallucinated a movie poster that had him cast as Dominic (with fellow rassler Dave Batista as Fenix.)
