Hints at a Gears of War movie have floated around for over a decade at this point, and we've still got nothing to show for it! However, that might be about to change. In a new interview with The Digital Fix, The Batman producer Dylan Clark, who's also working on the Gears movie, hinted that news is coming.
While Clark said he couldn't provide any concrete info during the interview, he gave us something to cling onto. Basically, he expects an announcement on the movie soon.
I’m glad that you’re interested in it [...] It’s something it’s been a passion of mine for a very long time. I think very soon there will be an announcement.
Yep, it's vague but it's something, and we'll take anything we can get regarding the Gears movie. Plans for a film adaptation were thrown around shortly after the first game launched, but things went quiet in the years following.
In 2016, as Microsoft launched Gears of War 4, movie plans were once again discussed, although not in much detail. Let's hope we hear something soon on this supposed Gears movie, before all hope is lost.
Would you be interested in a Gears movie? Do you think it'll actually happen? Let us know in the comments.

Makes me even more convinced that the rumoured MCC style collection is Gears. Using a game collection to help promote the movie, it worked with Uncharted.
Dave Bautista has the bulk! Does he have the acting chops? I've been pretty impressed so far, but it's mostly been smaller roles. But he'd definitely be up my cast list
Here’s my silly casting choices:
Now this is a video game movie I can get behind. Love the Gears universe
@CrazyJF have you ever considered a career in casting? That's an ace list.
@SacredPYRO Thanks.
Having seen The Batman last night (exceptional), I'd love a similar gritty take on Gears in that style! It would be violent as all hell!
I actually see them using the cast from Gears 4 onward more than the older cast, for marketing reasons.
It is cool and surprising to have a Gears movie to be honest. The whole game industry is about to be turned into Hollywood franchises, I guess.
@CrazyJF haha, you nailed it!
My favorite Xbox IP, second favorite IP in gaming next to Red Dead Redemption, so I’m really excited and hope we get Gears 2 & 3 ultimate editions. I still play Gears Ultimate and beat the game once a year. Didn’t love Gears 5 story and gameplay all that much. It’s ok, but the multiplayer was fantastic, played 500 hours of it.
Video game movies are almost always terrible so I could careless.
@Rural-Bandit
Red Dead redemption actually may be the only IP that I could see as a good movie. Mainly because the game is actually somewhat realistic.
@shred5 completely agree, it would be epic. Love the franchise and really wish they would fix the online, it’s just awful for what it should and could be. But the money is in GTA5. March 15th, here we go again.
