The Rock as Marcus Fenix in Gears of War movie?

May 8th, 2009 Posted in Action, Media

Screenwriter Chris Morgan, who penned such movies as Fast and Furious and Wanted, comments on the assignment of writing the script for the upcoming Gears of War movie. One of the issues, he says, is to find an actor who can not only be the tough guy in the movie, but showcase emotion and “put some humanity in it”. He pictures The Rock, aka Dwayne Johnson, to play the part of Marcus Fenix. Morgan says of The Rock:

“The Rock is awesome. There’s 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.”

We don’t know about the last part.
