Finally, after years of talk of making a Gears of War movie which mainly went nowhere, Microsoft and Universal have agreed that a Gears of War will be produced. Both parties announced the project during livestream of the upcoming sequel, Gears of War 4, which is set to be released for the Xbox One gaming console later this month.

In the livestream event, Coalition studio head Rod Fergusson announced that the movie is already in pre-production and will be produced by Scott Stuber, who was behind “Ted”, and Dylan Clark of Bluegrass Films, who produced the “Rise of the Planet of Apes”. According to Ferguson, they still need to come out with a compelling story that will appeal to the general audience. 

In a story in Variety, Fergusson said, “As a way to support the franchise, the next logical step was to make the movie. We’d done comics and novels in the past but the opportunity to work with Universal to bring the movie to life was perfect.”

Members of the Gears of the War Forums have been speculating how the story will be, with one saying that based on the news stories it will be set in the Locust

War but would not be totally based on one of the game plots. But the general consensus is that players are excited how the production will be conducted and just like other game fans would probably subject the production under intense scrutiny.

It’s still in the early stages and thus, there are no announcements of production targets, especially planned release dates. For now, all eyes will be on the release of Gears of War 4 which will be released by October 11, 2016 for the Xbox One and Windows PC.
