Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard, Underworld) has signed on to direct the movie adaptation of 'Gears of War', based on Microsoft and Epic Games' hit videogame. The game revolves around a world reeling from an invasion by aliens known as the Locust, and a small team of elite soldiers who fight to retake the planet and save its human inhabitants.

Movie to watch out in July

The X-Files 2: I Want to Believe

When a group of women are abducted in the wintry hills of rural Virginia, the only clues to their disappearance are the grotesque human remains that begin to turn up in snow banks along the highway. With officials desperate for any lead, a disgraced priest's 'visions' send the local police on a wild goose chase and straight to a bizarre secret medical experiment. It's a case right out of The X-Files. But the FBI closed down its investigations into the paranormal years ago. And the best team for the job is ex-agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, who have no desire to revisit their dark past.
