The Gears Of War movie takes a further step forward...
Microsoft ultimately never managed to get a big screen take on the Halo videogames going (there's a story and a half behind that, told in Jamie Russell's book Generation Xbox), but it is pushing to bring Gears Of War to cinemas. The firm revealed last year that it was partnering with Universal Pictures to bring the game to the movies, with the idea being not to base it directly on any Gears Of War title, rather that the film will be a fresh story set in its broader universe.
Now, some progress has been made.
Shane Salerno has been hired to pen a screenplay for the Gears Of War movie, landing the job following his script work on the four Avatar sequels with James Cameron, and the adaptation of Don Winslow’s book The Cartel, that Ridley Scott intends to direct.

“I love a woman who can kick my ass!”
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie screens midnights this weekend (June 26th and 27th) at The Tivoli Theater as part of their ‘Reel Late at The Tivoli’ Midnight Series.
The popular animé series Cowboy Bebop got its own feature-length film in 2001 aptly named Cowboy Bebop: The Movie. Set in the late 21st century, it jumps into the series’ story line just prior to its conclusion, with the bounty hunting crew of the interstellar craft Bebop chasing a hacker aboard a tanker into a major city on Mars. As crew member Faye Valentine closes in on the tanker, she witnesses its catastrophic explosion, which soon appears to be a viral terrorist attack as the death toll continues to mount in the days following. Furthermore, Faye caught a glimpse of the person responsible for the blast and is thus the only surviving witness of the crime.
