The Gears of War movie in development at Netflix is underway, with the screenplay being written right now.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, husband and wife production duo David Leitch and Kelly McCormick briefly discussed their work on the upcoming adaptation of Xbox Game Studios' iconic third-person shooter franchise.

Leitch — who is directing the Gears of War movie — is currently working on the script alongside writer Jon Spaihts, who co-wrote the screenplays for Ridley Scott's Prometheus, as well Denis Villeneuve's Dune Part 1 and Dune Part 2.

"We're writing right now with Jon Spaihts, and we're really excited about it," says McCormick. "There's a lot of energy from The Coalition and from Netflix, because The Coalition is releasing a game in 2026."

"We won't hit that release date, but maybe something that feels relevant to the release of the new game. It's an opportunity for David to do a war film, which he hasn't gotten to do yet, and a bit of sci-fi in his own way with this beloved IP in his own way."

While we've known since 2023 that Spaihts was attached to the project, this is the first confirmation that work on the script is actually underway.

They chose the wrong John Wick guy. He might be more prolific than Stahelski, but he also so much worse as a director.

Confirmed to a fun popcorn flick then, very cool and I'm very in.

It won't be winnin any Oscars, but I guarantee it'll be a good time.

Leitch is a good fit.
But it's Netflix so there's an 80% chance it will suck anyway
