Netflix has partnered with The Coalition to adapt the Gears of War video game saga into a live action feature film, followed by an adult animated series — with the potential for more stories to follow!
Netflix announced that Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Jon Spaihts (known for co-writing Dune, Dune: Part Two and Doctor Strange) has boarded the project.
“Gears of War is one of the all-time great action games, with vivid characters, a beautifully designed world and a combat system that drives home the lethality of war and the importance of standing by your squadmates,” Spaihts told Netflix. “It wants to be cinema, and I’m thrilled to have the chance to help that happen.”
Spaihts knows a thing or two about civilizations fighting for their existence across remote worlds. He previously penned the script for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus and adapted Frank Herbert’s Dune for Denis Villeneuve’s Oscar-nominated film, which returns for a second installment later this year.
The upcoming film will be produced in partnership with The Coalition, the developer behind the Gears of War games. “We’re thrilled to partner with Jon and the Netflix team to bring Gears of War to life,” the video game developer told Netflix. “Jon is a master storyteller with a talent for creating epic science-fiction universes and he truly loves Gears of War. We couldn’t ask for a better partner to honor our franchise and deliver an authentic story to our fans.”
