If you havent heard by now there is another video game
movie in the works. And this time its for Gears of War (chainsaw FTW). Chris Morgan, who has written such movies as Fast and Furious and Wanted, just wrapped
up the script for the upcoming movie and now they are looking for a cast. He is looking for his main actor to play Marcus Fenix, and while others are
thinking of actors like Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, or maybe Chuck Norris. That is not the case for Chris, as he is actually thinking about Dwayne The Rock
Johnson to play Marcus Fenix.
Chris Morgan told MTV, The Rock is awesome. Theres a
genuine actor, Not only can he play the tough guy, but he can also play the
nuanced, sensitive funny sad moments as well. But finding that guy is
incredibly difficult Chris also stated, I dont think theyre looking so much
for size, but a guy you believe can throw a punch, and a guy you believe is
stoic, locked in his own head, and [can] show emotion without telegraphing it. If
you just play the big tough guy, it comes off as one-note and cardboard and not
a believable character. So an actor has to find little things and put emotion
into them that works in a more subtle way than just being stoic.
Chris Morgan, I hope you watched the Doom movie and make
sure you learn from their mistake and how they sucked it up. Oh and my advice, please avoid putting in any
lines that The Rock used when he was in WWF/WWE.
