Gears Screenwriter Thinks The Rock Would Be Perfect For Marcus Fenix

Gears of War's Marcus Fenix is a pretty complicated guy, at least he is according to screenwriter Chris Morgan. In penning the script for the upcoming game-to-film adaptation, he discussed some of the challenges of writing and casting for Gears' lead protagonist. "Normally when I write, I think about the actor I?m writing for, but this one?s been difficult," Morgan told MTV . "It is a vital casting choice. It's counter-intuitive really, because it seems like you want to get a big character - a big tough guy who can play it stoic the whole time - but in my experience, dealing with macho sorts of movies and dealing with Dom [Vin Diesel's character in " The Fast & The Furious "] and that kind of stuff, it?s harder to play the tough guy than an emotional character who's all over the place."
