Dwayne Johnson Eyed to Star in Gears of War Film

 
After his stint "Rock"ing the motion picture based on Doom and being attached to the now-in-development-hell Spy Hunter movie project, former WWE World Champion and now full-time Hollywood actor Dwayne Johnson finds himself the top choice to star in yet another video game-turned-movie. Gears of War writer Chris Morgan says the movie is in the budgeting phase, and he is creating a list of people to play the parts the film provides, with Marcus Fenix being the biggest. And apparently, he has eyes for The People's Champ to fill the role. (link)
