The Gears of War movie was announced five and a half years ago during a Gears of War 4 live stream. Rod Fergusson, who was Head of The Coalition at the time (he’s now at Blizzard heading up the Diablo franchise), revealed the film would be produced by Scott Stuber (known for his work on Ted & Ted 2, The Kingdom, Battleship, and 47 Ronin) and Dylan Clark (Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, War for the Planet of the Apes, Oblivion) on behalf of Universal Studios. Perhaps the announcement teased by Dylan Clark will have something to do with the casting. Ever since the news of the adaptation came to light, fans have been buzzing about Dave Bautista playing Marcus Fenix. After all, he’s a big fan of the IP and he already appeared in Gears 5 as a multiplayer character, too. Another movie star fans would like to see in the Gears of War movie is Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Johnson himself recently fueled the rumors even further, saying that he has been involved in a secret game movie that will be unveiled this year.
