00:00Finally, after more than a decade in limbo, the Gears of War movie is real.
00:05And moving forward, and here's your 2026 first look.
00:12And trailer update, before we dive in, hit subscribe.
00:17And press the bell so you never miss a drop.
00:20For years, this project looked cursed.
00:23Since its 2007 announcement, Gears bounced between studios, directors, and writers with no real traction.
00:33That all changed in 2022, when Netflix officially secured the rights, announcing a live-action feature film.
00:45And a separate adult animated series set in the same universe, overnight.
00:50Hope returned that Sarah's brutal war could finally hit the big screen.
00:55And the small screen, here's the big news.
00:58John Spites, the writer behind Dune, and, uh, Doctor Strange, is scripting the film.
01:06He's grounded.
01:07Large-scale sci-fi sensibility fits the franchise's war-torn tone.
01:13And, according to 2025 reports, the screenplay is finished.
01:17Or nearly there.
01:19That puts cameras potentially rolling as early as late 2025.
01:25On the directing front, action maestro David Leach, known for John Wick, Deadpool 2, and Bullet Train,
01:33has been in advanced talks to take the helm.
01:36Leach's Kinetic.
01:37Visceral style is tailor-made for Lancers, Chainsaw Duels, and Close Quarters, Locust Carnage.
01:45While still leaving room for the emotional core Gears needs.
01:50Brotherhood, Sacrifice, and Survival.
01:55Meanwhile, Netflix is also producing the animated Gears of War series.
01:59This dual approach signals a broader cinematic universe strategy.
02:03One timeline for Prestige Live.
02:06Action.
02:07Another for bold.
02:09Adult animation.
02:11Expanding lore.
02:12Characters.
02:14And stakes across formats?
02:16So, when can we expect it?
02:18Netflix hasn't announced a date yet.
02:20But the current chatter points to a 2026 window.
02:24Potentially aligned with the next game.
02:27Gears of War.
02:28E-Day.
02:29If production kicks off late 2025, look for early first-look images.
02:35And a brief teaser before a full trailer closer to release.
02:38Bottom line, after years of false starts, the Gears are finally turning.
02:45A top-tier writer.
02:46A high-octane director in the mix.
02:49A companion animated series.
02:52And a resurgent game slate set the stage for a true blockbuster adaptation.
02:58One that could stand alongside Halo and The Last of Us?
03:01Stay tuned.
