Everyone’s into making trilogies these days, and director Len Wiseman is no exception. He is planning on helming a trilogy of films based on Gears of War – Epic’s popular action shooter franchise – according to an interview.

“The hope is that we’re wanting to do three movies and really cover the bases on everything,” said Wiseman. “Basically a harder edged Lord Of The Rings.”

Wiseman and Chris Morgan are currently working on the script; the former is known for Live Free and Die Hard and the latter for Wanted. The project is being financed by Legendary Pictures and New Line Cinema. It has no release date at the moment.
