Citing multiple sources, Variety claims that film financier Legendary Pictures is in negotiations to acquire Gears of War developer Epic Games, which would make it the first of its kind to get into video games. It is no stranger to the medium, though, as Legendary CEO Thomas Tull was, up until recently, on the board of Brash Entertainment, but resigned a few weeks ago because of the publisher's disappointing performance. Legendary Pictures is known for co-producing 300 and The Dark Knight, and is, interestingly enough, also involved in the Gears of War movie adaptation, as well as a World of Warcraft movie.
