The Gears of War movie may have finally found a director as THR reports that David Leitch (The Fall Guy) is in negotiations to helm the project for Netflix.

A movie based on the blockbuster video game franchise has been in the works for a long time, but it finally landed at Netflix in 2022. The streaming giant is partnering with The Coalition, the developer behind the series, to develop a live-action movie and a potential animated series. Jon Spaihts (Dune) is writing the script.

In addition to directing, Leitch would also produce alongside his wife and producing partner Kelly McCormick through their 87North banner.

Dave Bautista is ready to star in Netflix's Gears of War movie. However, the Guardians of the Galaxy actor is getting a bit tired of waiting.

Speaking with ComicBook.com to promote his latest movie In the Lost Lands, Bautista touched on Netflix's Gears of War movie, which was announced alongside an adult animated television series back in November 2022. While Bautista is not formally attached to the project, he remains a popular casting choice among the Gears of the War fandom due to his love of the game. Now, more than two years after the initial announcement, Bautista is tired of Netflix dragging its feet and has called out to fans to "Start an online thing about freaking Gears of War. Come on, Netflix. Come on already." The actor shared that he has also been in contact with the streamer about the movie, saying, "It’s not like I’m not badgering them.

Dave Bautista is a WWE star who has built a respectable career in Hollywood as an actor. He’s been a fan-favorite choice to play Marcus Fenix in the live-action adaptation of Gears of War. But recent developments, or the lack thereof, have sparked concern among fans.

Moreover, Bautista has lost an impressive amount of weight, but would that be a hurdle for him when it comes to starring as the battle-hardened Marcus? Let’s understand what the actor himself wants at the moment, and if there’s any chance that his wish would materialize.

Guardians of the Galaxy and Dune star Dave Bautista is still fighting to play the role of Marcus Fenix in the long-awaited adaptation of the video game Gears of War. In fact, so determined is the action star to lead the project (which is currently in development at Netflix) that he has asked fans to start an online campaign.

And if that wasn't enough to convince you of his passion for the part, the actor has also revealed to Comicbook.com that he has started bugging Netflix himself:

“Start an online thing about freaking Gears of War. Come on, Netflix. Come on already. It’s not like I’m not badgering them. Come on, Netflix. Get it together.”

We recently spoke to developer Jeffery Thompson and his team about his upcoming multiplayer horror video game, Soul Walker. Thompson is directing the game through his production company, Epoch Media Studios, with Lincoln Margison and Jonathan Reynolds both serving as his programmers. And Cliff Bleszinski is serving as the game’s creative consultant. Bleszinski is the creator of the Gears of War franchise for developer Epic Games and publisher Microsoft Studios, and over twenty million Gears of War games have been sold since the series debuted in 2006. Bleszinski also received no fewer than three BAFTA Games Awards for his work on the first three Gears of War games, making him one of the most popular developers in the industry. He also served as one of the lead designers of the popular Unreal series, which he also worked on for Epic Games, in addition to designing Bulletstorm, another Epic-developed game.

Gears of War is another popular video game franchise that will receive a live-action adaptation treatment; unfortunately, the project is stuck in development hell. Cliff Bleszinski is no longer attached or involved with the current entries; however, he served as one of the former designers in the franchise’s earlier days and recalls the struggles the studio had to endure to make this movie work without suffering from the infamous curse of horrible video game-to-film adaptations.

Successful video game adaptations like The Last of Us and Fallout worked because the executives were fans of the source material. Having a fan at the helm would have made the process more smoother and authentic.

Ridley Scott’s Prometheus not only gave an origin story for the Xenomorphs but also pitched a dramatic and nihilistic origin for humanity itself. The sci-fi film featured Michael Fassbender as the android David, who joins the Prometheus crew in finding the Engineer on the moon Lv-223. It also featured Charlize Theron and Idris Elba.

Scott’s Alien prequel of sorts has received much flack over the years for its overreliance on philosophy and convoluted plot. Despite showing a lot of promise in the opening sequences, fans seemed to be lost as the story progressed and revealed the Engineer. Fans still seem to be confused about the Engineer suddenly going berserk in the middle.

Phil Spencer has been the head of Microsoft Gaming for the past decade and has made a few questionable decisions for the Xbox brand since then. Running a major gaming company is not easy and the player base will likely notice the mistakes first before any achievements.

The recent moves made by Microsoft made the gaming community wonder how Spencer’s ambitious plan would pan out and how it would affect the platform’s future. Porting first-party exclusives can be controversial sometimes but no one was prepared to see Spencer’s lies pile up and crash spectacularly.

The Xbox platform has been on the short end of the stick, especially after being let down by their leader.

Gears of War: E-Day might be one of the most highly anticipated entries into a franchise for quite a while, and it shows in the way people’s expectations keep mounting.

One of the biggest curiosities people seem to have is if and how the franchise will retcon some parts of its lore, and the Reddit community has gathered to figure it out.

Prequels are always an exciting affair with any franchise, especially when they cover major, cataclysmic-type events that you’ve only heard about and seen the aftereffects of. Creating a prequel comes with its fair share of challenges though, with one of the most prominent ones being working around the lore.

Possible Retcons in E-Day?

Gears of War is coming back with its latest title, ‘Gears of War: E-Day‘, and the anticipation surrounding its release is huge. The reveal trailer for the game features a terrifying and horrendous creature from the Locust, the classic, subterranean mutant Seran race. The Locust army has never looked more terrifying than in Gears of War: E-Day.

After the release of the game’s latest trailer, there have been many speculations concerning the dangers lurking among the pool of soldiers within the Locust army. Technological advancements since the game’s initial release have paved the way for the game’s characters to become more terrifying, increasing the franchise’s horror.

The curse of video game adaptations has run strong for many years now. Whenever an iconic video game gets adapted into a movie or a show, it is likely to severely disappoint the true fans of the original work. However, some exceptions have proved their strength quite loudly in recent years. Pedro Pascal’s The Last of Us is a perfect example of such a work, making only necessary changes and staying true to the source material in the best of ways.

The Last of Us I Max

So much so, that it became one of the most critically acclaimed shows of all time. Showcasing an excellent story through a perfect cast, fans have a lot of faith in what is to come in the future. However, a recent update may cause concern, as the series may go down a path that very few have come out of alive.

Gears of War is a franchise that isn’t afraid of experimenting with new mechanics. It’s also not afraid of letting you feel very, very afraid. Since the days of its original gameplay, the saga has come far in building some of the most scary and challenging foes in battle.

On that note, the original creator’s nephew himself couldn’t handle the jump scare caused by one of the earliest enemy types in the first Gears of War. To new players who haven’t experienced the game before, a similar reaction is to be expected.

Gears of War E-Day is the next title in the popular franchise that has a rather rich lore. A part of that is the Carmine family, which is synonymous with bravery and service for the Cog. Unfortunately, throughout installments, their dedication has had a hefty price. In almost every Gears of War, at least one Carmine brother met its tragic end.

However, the upcoming Gears of War: E-Day is a prequel in the Gears games timeline and is a glimmer of hope for the Carmine family with a chance to set the Carmine brothers up for triumph. In addition to Clayton, the game can introduce another brother and give fans the Twin Grub killers squad.

Carmine Family Has Been a Staple in the Franchise Carmine family has given a lot to the war.

In every mainline Gears of War game except Gears of War 3 and Judgement, at least one Carmine brother meets a tragic demise.

One of the major reveals at the Xbox Games Showcase was the first official trailer for Gears of War: E-Day, which will serve as a complete prequel to the franchise. Many fans were expecting the first trailer for the sixth installment, but The Coalition surprised everyone with gameplay footage of what will be a return to the origins with the first two protagonists of the saga.

The studio has already provided several details about what this game will entail and where it fits in the timeline. This title promises to transport players to the war’s origins. Here are three reasons to be excited about this highly anticipated game.

Following the success of the first trailer for Gears of War: E-Day, fans of the saga remain excited about this game and can’t stop talking about it. In a recent Reddit post, a user suggested what would make a memorable scene to add to a possible movie based on these characters.

The user described an enemy that doesn’t have much visibility in the game but features several of the most terrifying moments in the franchise. Additionally, the discussion led to the mention of another outstanding villain who could reemerge in this potential adaptation.

The best Gears of War game is Gears of War 2, which features innovative additions like Horde mode. Gears of War has a loyal fanbase, with each entry retaining a similar feel despite slight tweaks. Gears 5 is a solid entry in the series that expands the gameplay formula with open-world sections, hinting at a larger future for the franchise.

The best Gears of War game will always come down to player preference, but it's inarguable that Gears has always been a reliable hit for Microsoft's line of consoles. The third-person shooters feature football-sized men crouching down behind an inexplicable number of knee-high barriers and firing off weapons at glorified mole men who want to take over the surface, and somehow, lead designer Cliff Bleszinski made that premise believable and emotionally resonant, turning out a trilogy of great Xbox titles and leaving new developers The Coalition a blueprint for success when...

The Gears of War fanbase has been very excited and happy over the announcement of E-Day. However, amidst the anticipation, some fans are expressing some pretty wild and revisionist opinions about the series’ history.

A recent Reddit post discrediting Rod Fergusson for his contribution to the entire series is a prime example. It’s a head-scratcher for those who know the history of the series.

Rod Fergusson’s Role in Gears of War

Rod Fergusson is one of the few lead developers to have worked on all five Gears of War games.

Fergusson isn’t just some guy who came in later to mess things up, as the post has stated. He’s been with the franchise since day one. Back in 2005, when the original Gears of War was being developed, Fergusson was right there, helping shape the game into what it became.

No disrespect to Rod Ferguson but his...

The first trailer for Gears of War: E-Day completely surprised fans with something they didn’t expect at all. The game will be taking players back to the franchise’s origins just before the appearance of the Locust, the iconic enemies that are the hallmark of this saga.

In a recent interview, the game’s director said the studio is very confident in delivering a fantastic game. This could mean something huge for Xbox, similar to what God of War 2018 was for the PlayStation.

Matt Searcy, Director of Gears of War: E-Day, Thinks It Will Be a Spectacular Game Gears of War: E-Day could make something similar for Xbox to what God of War made for PlayStation.

Following an incredible presentation, E-Day topped the list of most anticipated games for fans. The title’s introduction presented it as a complete prequel to the franchise, illustrating the Locust’s emergence as iconic enemies in this saga.

While fans were anticipating a teaser for Gears of War 6 at the Xbox Showcase 2024, The Coalition surprised everyone by revealing Gears of War: E-Day instead. At first glance, the game appears to embody the classic Gears of War elements, suggesting that The Coalition has decided to return to its roots.

Not only is Gears of War back, but it’s also going back as E-Day is a prequel to the first Gears of War game. While the fifth installment of the franchise failed to charm fans, E-Day has got everyone excited, as it could be the start of another trilogy.

After the reveal of Gears of War: E-Day at the Xbox Games Showcase, many fans have high hopes for the future of the franchise. The spectacular trailer showcased how this title will return to the saga’s origins with the first appearance of the Locust in the game.

Some users on social media are now hoping for various changes in the multiplayer aspect to revive the game’s popularity and steer clear of the mistakes made in the previous two titles. One of the things that bothered players the most was the new cover system.

Gears of War is one of the most popular franchises out there, and after a five-year wait, fans now know that another title is soon coming their way. Xbox announced Gears of War E-Day, a prequel at the Xbox Games Showcase 2024 that will take players back to Emergence Day.

While fans were hoping for Gears 6, they are happy that they will get to know the origin stories of series heroes Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago. The franchise creator, Cliff Bleszinski, is expecting to see something in the prequel, which would be epic, but the game will have to break the timeline.

With the recent reveal of a new Gears of War at the last Xbox Games Showcase, the original creator of this saga reveals that he is not very satisfied with the current state of the industry. Cliffy B, the nickname of the popular Cliff Bleszinski, declared in an interview last year that he is a fan of the PlayStation 2 era with games like God of War.

He talked about how these types of games influenced him to create one of Microsoft’s most popular franchises. This director eventually distanced himself from the franchise and officially retired from video games.

Cliffy B, the Creator of Gears of War, Talks About the Current State of the Industry Cliffy B was inspired by the PlayStation 2 era of gaming.

Despite having a fantastic Summer Game Fest with a lot of revelations about upcoming games, many are still not satisfied with the current state of the video game industry.

For a long time, Gears of War was responsible for some of Xbox’s greatest heavy-hitters, but the franchise seemed to have lost its way in the modern gaming landscape. However, with the reveal of E-Day, The Coalition seems to be taking the series back to its roots with a prequel that may reignite some life back into the devastating tale.

Originally created by Cliff Bleszinski, the former designer of arguably the best Gears of War games wants the franchise to find its footing again, but months before E-Day‘s official announcement, the creator foreshadowed where the series could be heading next.

Gears of War Creator Had Some Ideas for the Franchise’s Revival

Cliff Bleszinski, better known as Cliffy B, is a relatively big name in the gaming world, especially when it comes to the Gears of War series. He’s known for being the lead designer on the original trilogy.

But his recent interview about what he’d like to see in Gears of War: E-Day, has left a lot of fans scratching their heads. This could either make or break the upcoming title.

Cliff Bleszinski, the mastermind behind the iconic Gears of War series, has talked about how God of War could be a good parallel in how to revive the series, back in 2023. He has been very vocal about his aspirations for the franchise.

This ambition was talked about during an interview where Bleszinski discussed his upcoming cookbook, Scrapper, and reflected on his long career in game development​.

The God of War series likely has another game in the works.

One of the major reveals from the recent Xbox Games Showcase was that one of the brand’s most beloved series is returning to its roots. Gears of War E-Day will be the next game in this popular franchise, serving as a prequel that delves into how the Locust invasion began.

The Coalition, the studio behind this franchise after Cliff Bleszinski’s departure, revealed in a recent interview that it now has enough experience to offer us a fresh perspective on the relationship between Marcus Fenix and his best friend Dominic Santiago.

Gears of War E-Day Will Show How This Bromance Began Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago bromance will be revisited in Gears of War E-Day.

Gears of War E-Day will serve as...

It is no secret that Gears of War E-Day‘s reveal surprised fans. While there were rumors regarding the game being included in the 2024 Xbox Showcase lineup by industry insiders like Paris Lilly, no one saw a prequel dating back to the Emergence being announced.

This move by The Coalition was something that fans weren’t expecting in the slightest. That is because, since Gears of War 4, the series has been focusing on a different story arc. So, there must have been a profound reason why the studio chose to forsake the Gears 4 trilogy midway.

The Series Fell Off With Gears of War 4 The original Gears of War trilogy will go down in history as one of the best trilogies ever made.

Gears of War: E-Day is the upcoming prequel title set to chronicle the horrific events of Emergence Day. One of the most disastrous moments of humankind’s history, was when the Locust Horde erupted from beneath Sera and thrust humanity into a struggle for survival.

The prequel is set to give a new origin story to the iconic Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago, but who else will be in the game? The speculation is running rampant already and one of the possible characters to join Marcus and Dom is none other than Corporal Tai Kaliso from Gears of War 2.

Fans got excited after one of the highlights during the Xbox Games Showcase turned out to be Gears of War E-Day. It’s not exactly what they expected out of the series, but it will explore Emergence Day, the event that gave rise to the narrative as we know it.

The first three games featuring the beloved protagonist, Marcus Fenix, were developed by American video game designer Cliff Bleszinski. Needless to say, he was pivotal for the game’s development as the trilogy raked in over a billion dollars in revenue and sold 22 million copies globally.

Fans Might Have Missed Those Details in Gears of War E-Day

Everything in the game’s universe eventually goes back to Emergence Day.

The upcoming Xbox Games Showcase on June 9 is set to be a megaton as it’ll be the first to feature the full trinity of the brand’s own studios, Bethesda, and Activision Blizzard. Moreover, there will also be a 45-minute presentation right after the show, which many speculate is for Call of Duty Gulf War.

Several rumors have been swirling about the games that will show up in the main event, though, and it seems Gears of War fans are encouraged to tune in, as the long-awaited Gears of War 6 could make its debut here, marking five years since Gears 5 launched in 2019.

Gears of War 6 Might Be A Highlight Of The Showcase A new entry in the Gears series is long overdue, especially after 5 years since Gears 5.

A plethora of insiders have already claimed that the next mainline Gears of War game will show up in the Xbox Showcase,...

Gears of War is one of the most notable Xbox franchises in recent history and fans are excited for the next installment. The series has gone through quite some changes and it has deviated from its roots and the community has found a solution to make the sequel feel more familiar.

The gaming community misses the dark and gritty feel of the first few games in the franchise and hopes to see the same atmosphere return in the latest entry. Perhaps the key to the success of the video game series is pure nostalgia.

Gears of War 6 Should Take a Trip Down Memory Lane

Gears of War 6 is currently in active development over at The Coalition Studio.

Sequels can either elevate the franchise or take a wrong turn and lead it to an irredeemable ditch of disappointment. The Coalition Studio is doing its absolute best to bring an authentic gaming experience.

There are few directors or personalities inside the video game industry who can really make anything they want without asking questions. One of those names is Hideo Kojima, creator of Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding. This Japanese creator made games reach a new level of originality.

Unfortunately, there are not all great ideas; there was a time when this director had some wacky ideas that fans wouldn’t like. This project was a zombie online game that would have required players to pay for multiple accounts in order to keep playing.

A Great Director Does Not Always Have Amazing Ideas Hideo Kojima had some ideas in the past that were no good at all.

The game industry has some names that change it all forever, with titles that really push this business to a new level, making video games one of the most profitable entertainment mediums in the world.

Few directors and creatives survive after their first big success; people like Ken Levine, Glen Schofield, and Cliff Bleszinski were not so lucky after the success of their greatest IP. Once Gears of War was behind Cliffy B, the director tried several times to make a new great game.

Lawbreakers was one of these projects, but the title quickly went out of play, and the director distanced himself from gaming design. But fans seem to want to bring back this game, and this director is very happy and surprised about this community engagement.

Cliff Bleszinski Was Encouraged by Fans to Promote This Project to Bring back Lawbreakers Lawbreakers was a hero shooter launched in 2017.

As with many other directors or great personalities in the gaming industry, it is really hard to make numerous successful trailers. Few of these talents have survived after their first big game; one of them is...

Fallout is the latest video game franchise to receive a live-action adaptation, and early reactions have been mostly positive. Perhaps other studios and developers should take notes of how Amazon Prime was able to pull off a successful series and avoid the mistakes Paramount made with Halo.

Live-action adaptations can be a hit-and-miss, but Gears of War is the one game fans have been begging for and Microsoft better not drop the ball once again.

Amazon Prime’s Fallout Could Influence Gears of War Movie

All episodes of Fallout are now available on Amazon Prime Video.

Translating video games into another format can be an extremely daunting task, but many have succeeded and proved that it is possible to honor the source material without deviating too far. Jonathan Nolan served as the director for the latest Amazon series and immediately felt the pressure after the success of HBO’s The Last of Us...

A glimpse into the next Gears of War might just be a couple of months away. The Coalition, the developers of the game, are said to be working on one, and rumors suggest it will be the continuation of the last mainline game’s story. The first three Gears of War games focus on Marcus Fenix, while the following games pick up different protagonists.

One of the successful game franchises, it has earned over $1 billion for Microsoft. The last game in the series, Gears Tactics, was released in 2020. It was a turn-based game where the story is set up after Emergence Day, a planet-wide assault on Sera. Since then, the series has remained dormant.

Industry Insiders Are Hyped for Gears of War Synchronously

The next Gears of War is said to be an open-world game.

Amid the debates surrounding Gears of War 6, an industry insider, Nate Najda, aka Shinobi602, indicated...

In 2021, The Coalition seemingly parted ways from Gears 5 for an unrevealed project on Unreal Engine 5. The project might be a savior for Xbox, since there are rumors about a new console. This project appears to be the next Gears of War game, as some Xbox job listings by Microsoft suggest. The speculations arise from the latest conversation with insider Jeff Grubb on Kinda Funny Xcast.

The first three games in the series revolve around the protagonist, Marcus Fenix, while the next main title follows the story of his son, James Dominic Fenix, and then his friend, Kait Diaz. Cliff Bleszinski, who designed the first three installments, drew inspiration from games like Resident Evil 4, Kill Switch, and Bionic Commando.

Gears of War is one of the most popular franchises exclusive to Xbox. The franchise began in 2006 and has seen numerous installments since then. However, the latest mainline game in the series dates back to 2019.

Since then, various Xbox exclusives have disappeared from the relevance compass because of their boundless mediocrity. Xbox doesn’t seem to have an answer for exclusive titles released on its arch-rival, Sony’s console lineup. However, as per some industry insiders, this might change, and the Gears of War franchise might see another installment reasonably soon.

Two industry insiders on the Kinda Funny XCast think that Gears of War 6 might be announced soon Gears of War 5 came out in 2019, and the subsequent title might be announced soon.

With no official confirmation, the leaks weren’t convincing fans at all but a new ray of hope has again emerged via the CEO of Saber Interactive, Matthew Karch.

In a recent interview, one of the first questions posed to Karch was the status of the Kotor Remake and Karch gave a crystal clear reply, confirming that the project is alive and kicking. The confirmation from Saber’s CEO himself should put a lot of Star Wars fans waiting for the remake to wait for it in peace.

Gears of War has been a strong asset and recognizable franchise of Xbox for many years and after a quick chat and interview with former game developer Cliff Bleszinski, he now reveals that he is very much open to the possibility of returning.

The franchise could strongly benefit from a former developer who left and experienced more from outside the studio that can help reshape and improve the beloved franchise.

Game developers who left their former workplaces to pursue other opportunities are not uncommon.

Fortnite may have become a pop culture phenomenon, but it is not for CliffyB. When Xbox launched its second console, the Xbox 360, one game changed it all.

This title even had one of the most original weapons ever created: the Lancer, an assault rifle with a chainsaw.

This game was created by Cliff Bleszinski; this director made three of the entries in Gears of War, then parted ways with Microsoft. Bleszinski gave FandomWire an interview while he was promoting his new show, Wolves Den. He talked about the industry, including battle royales like Fortnite.

After Zack Snyder's Justice League, filmmaker Zack Snyder has no burning desire to return to the realm of superhero movies, though there are a couple specific projects that he'd consider pursuing for DC and Marvel.

The Dceu, which Snyder helped create with Man of Steel and its crossover movies, is coming to an end with December's release of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Speaking about the state of DC Studios in a new interview with THR, Snyder said how he called James Gunn to "wish all the best for him," adding that he "told him I wanted it to work." However, when asked if he'd be interested in doing a movie for the Dcu if Gunn were to give him the call, Snyder said he'd only be interest in taking on one particular Batman story.
