Fan Casting Maria Santiago in Len Wiseman's Gears of War

The warm, beautiful, and fiercely devoted wife of Dom Santiago. Though her screen time is brief, her impact is monumental. Her dockside reunion with Dom establishes a passionate, playful, and deeply believable marriage in a matter of moments. When she loses her children on Emergence Day, her psychological collapse in the hospital is a devastating portrait of a mother refusing to accept the unacceptable. She is the wound the audience carries for the rest of the film, the embodiment of everything worth fighting for and everything that can be lost.
