We are celebrating today the 16th anniversary of the release of Gears of War on Xbox 360 in North America. And although it is not a round anniversary, The Coalitionwhich has been in charge of the franchise since the fourth installment, has a nice announcement to celebrate it as it should be.
Gears of War was released 16 years ago today and to mark the occasion, Netflix has partnered with The Coalition to adapt the @GearsofWar video game saga into a live action feature film, followed by an adult animated series — with the potential for more stories to follow! pic.twitter.com/3zInFSnUu4

Yes, Gears of War will be entitled to his film ! Finally, if the production goes to the end, because the project had already been initiated by NewLine in 2007, beforeUniversal Studios doesn’t get the baby back in 2016 and fall into the limbo that many video game adaptations have experienced. It’s this time netflix who is in charge of the production to broadcast it exclusively on his platform, he who already has adaptations of The Division, BioShock or tomb Raider in the boxes. And in parallel, the SVOD also prepare an animated series for adults for later release and specifies that other projects related to the license could follow.
For the film like the series, no director, screenwriter or actor is yet associated, proof that pre-production is only in its infancy. But Internet users are already campaigning for Dave Bautista, a wrestler converted into a confirmed action film actor, to play the main role, he who has often served as the dream cast to embody Marcus Fenix (still would have to be a character in the feature film). Waiting to know more, Gears 5 is available from €9.98 on Amazon.co.uk.
