Wise Plan?

Len Wiseman tells Bloody Disgusting that he plans to make not one film but a trilogy of films based on the hit Xbox 360 video game franchise "Gears of War.

"The hope is that were wanting to do a three movies and really cover the bases on everything. Basically a harder edged The Lord of the Rings" says Wiseman.

He then talks tone -"It’s going to be much more [on the] science fiction side of it than the creature side of it."

Wiseman and Chris Morgan, ("Wanted") are collaborating on the script-Wiseman adds he hasn't decided if the project will utilize any 3D technology.

Yikes! As I said earlier--Vid games are tough to adapt for one flick--Let alone 3...

He also says that he's looking into a TV series spin-off of his "Underworld" franchise.

"if I could be very involved and can be a certain way, I'd be very interested in that. We had always hoped to do a trilogy, now that we completed that trilogy it's kind of open, if people can join us and go back in time - and then leap forward, I'd like to go jump all across the time line"

Uh--did he see how Underworld: Rise of the Lycans did over the weekend? Then again--it worked out well for Buffy as a TV show.
