Netflix's "Gears of War" Movie Adaptation Finds Its Director in David Leitch

Yara Sameh David Leitch is in negotiations to helm "Gears of War", Netflix's big-budget adaptation of one of the biggest video game franchises on the Xbox platform. Jon Spaihts, who is working with Denis Villeneuve on adapting Frank Herbert's Dune books for Legendary, is writing the script for the film for which Netflix has partnered with The Coalition Studio, the Canadian game developer behind the franchise. Leitch and his wife and producing partner, Kelly McCormick, will produce the feature via their 87North banner along with The Coalition. The game is set on a planet on the brink of societal collapse when a monstrous threat in the form of underground creatures known as the Locust take humanity to the verge of extinction. Delta Squad, a ragtag fireteam led by disgraced sergeant Marcus Fenix, is now charged with leading humanity's last stand. Netflix picked up the rights to the popular video game franchise in November 2022 with grand ambitions. The giant streamer hopes to first adapt the game as a feature, then follow that up with an adult animated series. More work would follow in success. Coming out of the stunt world, Leitch is slowly crafting a wide-ranging résumé even as he stays in the action lane. "Fall Guy", starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, was a love letter to the stunt and moviemaking community. The Brad Pitt-led "Bullet Train" was a contained, twisty assassin thriller, while "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw" was a franchise play. Also on his list are comic book movie "Deadpool 2" and period spy thriller "Atomic Blonde". Leitch is now in prep on "How to Rob a Bank", a heist thriller for Amazon MGM that will star Nicholas Hoult and Anna Sawai. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War
