Wiseman was officially signed on in June 2008 with Chris Morgan performing script rewrites. Morgan hinted on televised coverage of Comic Con 2008 that the film would be a prequel to the first game, "it could explain how Marcus (Fenix) got his scar." According to Morgan, Wiseman "wants to make it as realistic as possible, and to blur those lines where your mind says, "Oh, it's a big CGI film". In 2010, the movie started having problems when Wiseman left production and budget was cut.
