David Leitch, the director of the upcoming Gears of War movie, has offered a brief update on the project in an interview with Collider, revealing he’s confident movie is going to happen.
“Gears of War, I think, is going to happen. We have a great draft that’s in progress that’s in really great shape. The studio’s more determined than ever to make it.” Leitch stated that “Netflix is 100% behind it” and that the developer behind the Gears of War video games, The Coalition, “is fired up, as well. They have their game releasing this year, as well, and so it’s all lining up that that movie will happen,” said the director.
The game that Leitch is referring to is of course Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel to the original Gears of War that depicts the early stages of the Locust invasion. Last year, the franchise made its debut on PlayStation systems with the release of Gears of War Reloaded, a remaster of the 2006 classic. You can read our full review here.
