Washington [US], May 16 (ANI): Filmmaker David Leitch is in talks to direct a feature adaptation of the hit video game 'Gears of War' for Netflix.
Jon Spaihts is writing the script for the feature for which Netflix has partnered with The Coalition Studio, the Canadian game developer behind the franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Leitch and his wife and producing partner, Kelly McCormick, will produce the feature via their 87North banner along with The Coalition.
