Microsoft and Epic Games’ third-person action game “Gears of War” is coming to the big screen, and Len Wiseman is on board to direct the project, according to Variety.

The game follows a bloody battle between humans and ruthless race of creatures known as the Locust Horde. The central character is Marcus Fenix, a former war hero who leads his squad through the war against the Locust forces.

Stuart Beattie wrote a first draft for the film, which Chris Morgan (“The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift”) is updating.

Wiseman also directed “Underworld” and “Underworld: Evolution.” He most recently helmed the Bruce Willis vehicle “Live Free or Die Hard.”
