A good script could be made if it is not just all over the top action. Find the right actors, the right effects and it could be done well. I'd like to see Peter Jackson direct. He made great films with the LOTR Trilogy, bring out the characters, make you care about what happens and make the action realistic as possible.

Wiseman can tell what will work and won't work in a script, therefore I imagine he would make sure Ray was writing the movie he was supposed to. On the other hand, a lesser experienced director would probably take Ray at his word and shoot whatever was in the script, regardless of whether or not it worked. The plot for GoW is excellent in my opinion and ripe for an on-screen portrayal. I would love to take a crack at directing something like this because I think whoever does it should definitely be a gamer. And I personally love this game.

I just don't see this as anything more than a "Doom" type film. Maybe I'm way off? The games were fun but now a film???

I just don’t see this as anything more than a “Doom” type film.
Maybe I’m way off?

It's not as if game to film adaptations are the pinnacle of movie-making. Any chance to break the cycle and produce a decent film from a game is worth a shot and getting a respected writer with good films under his belt can achieve that. It's not as if it's hard to add the elements he normally doesn't use, the only drama I foresee is Gears may need a lot of cgi which may or may not work. I think it’s probably a smart move.
