While a new episode is being developed by the Canadians of The Coalition, the Gears of War license is also arousing the desires of film producers. In a tweet announcing the 16th anniversary of the franchise, Netflix announces that it is working on several projects around the Xbox flagship action game. A live-action film and an animated series (for adults, therefore violent) are indeed on the program, in order to make the series shine beyond the borders of video games. The desire to adapt the adventures of Marcus Fenix ​​on the big screen is obviously not recent, many producers (New Line, Universal) having tried well before Netflix. According to the indiscretions circulating on the Internet, Netflix worked for many months before achieving its goals, and will be supported by the studio The Coalition to develop these two side projects. In short, we have time to see Gears of War tumble on Netflix, given that we are at the very beginning of the project.
