Screenwriter Chris Morgan, who has been commissioned to pen the "Gears of War" movie for director Len Wiseman, recently talked to MTV (http://www.mtv.com/news) about adapting the popular XBOX 360 video game for the big screen.

Morgan addresses the rumors that the film will serve as a prequel to the first "Gears of War" game, saying, "There are elements to it that can be considered a prequel," Morgan teased, "but it's not a prequel as far as I'm concerned."

He confirmed that the game's characters - Marcus Fenix and fellow Delta Force soldier Dominic Santiago - will appear in the story and that "Emergence Day" (the initial invasion of the Locust Horde on Earth) will be shown.

"I want to see those guys. I want to see 'Emergence Day.' I want to see this stuff happen," he added.
