New Line Cinema began developing the film in 2007 with "Underworld" and "Live Free or Die Hard" director Len Wiseman attached to direct, the project never took off due to the sizeable budget required. Writers Chris Morgan, Billy Ray and Stuart Beattie have all had cracks at the script at different points in time.
Today the project has been put into turnaround which will allow the producers to shop it around to other studios.
The folks at Creative Artists Agency are going to meet with many different producers in the coming weeks to set up shop somewhere else.
Set on the planet Sera, the game thrusts players into a battle for survival between humans and a race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet known as the Locust Horde. Players assume identities of soldiers on Delta Squad as they fight to save Sera's inhabitants.
The three games in the 'Gears' series thus far have sold over 13 million copies and netted $1 billion in sales since the first game droped in 2006.
The fourth game, Gears of War: Judgment is set to bow next year. Epic Games is expected to consult on the film to ensure that fits into the canon established in the games and books.
