Gears Of War Movie: Netflix Is "100% Behind It," Director Says

Netflix has multiple upcoming video game adaptations in the works, one of which is a movie version of Gears of War. David Leitch, known for his work on the John Wick series, is directing the movie and has now said Netflix is "100% behind it" and the movie is likely to get made.

"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," he told Collider. "Netflix is 100% behind it."

Leitch said developer The Coalition is "fired up," too, mentioning that the studio's new game, E-Day, is coming this year. "So it's all lining up that the movie will happen," he said.
