“I can’t make this any easier,” Bautista said in a Twitter post in November. It only took Bautista a few days to express his desire to go against the Horde for Netflix’s upcoming adaptation, and fans of the franchise are down for his involvement. Since the adaptation’s announcement in November, Glass Onion and Knock at the Cabin star Dave Bautista has voiced his interest in starring in the project. Universal’s version also died, leaving GOW in the wind for another day. After Wiseman’s adaptation took a Lancer to the chest, Universal picked up the rights with Microsoft along for the wild ride. Back in 2007, New Line Cinema snagged up the rights to make a Gears of War movie with Len Wiseman ( Live Free Or Die Hard) set to take on directing duties, but after several years in development hell, New Line had to let go of the Gears of War property. Those with memories longer than mine will recall that this isn’t the first time Gears of War was set to head to screens. With bodies piling up on all sides, parts of the world become little more than a smoldering crater amidst a war-torn wasteland. As the battle rages on, other factions, including the Horde’s mutated counterparts, the Lambent, enter the fray. The original Gears of War trilogy focuses on a war between humanity and the subterranean reptilian hominids known as the Locust Horde in Sera. In addition to the Gears of War movie, Netflix is partnering with The Coalition to produce an adult animated series and other projects based on the video game property. Jon Spaihts ( Dune: Part One & Two) is ready to go to war, Gears of War! The Oscar-nominated writer is gassing up his Lancer Assault Rifle for Netflix’s anticipated adaptation of the beloved Xbox game franchise as part of a widespread campaign to level up the property for mass appeal.
