‘Live Free or Die Hard’ Director a Good Choice To Helm ‘Gears of War’ Movie?

It’s been reported that “Live Free or Die Hard” director Len Wisemen will be the Hollywood force responsible for taking “Gears of War” to the big screen.
Josh Horowitz over at the MTV Movies Blog recently weighed in on the decision to hire Wisemen, comparing his pre-”Die Hard” films to the works of action director Stephen Sommers.
Since Josh asked us to weigh in, we’re going to do just that. Not only were Sommers’ own “The Mummy” films decent big-budget B-movies, I respectfully disagree that the “Underworld” series is worth writing off. Both films were B-movie fun.
And if you’ve played “Gears of War,” its story (and often lack thereof) fit that mold perfectly. Wiseman is a good choice. Heck, Sommers might’ve been, too.
So readers, while it seems Horowitz and I are both happy with the choice of Wisemen to bring “Gears” to the big screen — are you? (Source MTV)
