The screenwriter of the Modern Dune films, Jon Spaihts, has been tapped to pen the script for the Netflix film based on the Gears of War franchise.

Netflix made the announcement after working with The Coalition on multiple Gears projects since November of last year.

Spaihts, who co-wrote the scripts for the first and upcoming sequels to Dune with Denis Villeneuve and Eric Roth, stated, "Gears of War is one of the best action games ever made, with vivid characters, a gorgeously designed world, and a combat system that emphasizes the horrific nature of war and the importance of assisting your teammates. It aspires to be cinema, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it."

Ideal choice

The Gears of War franchise is well known for its incredible gameplay and stunning world, and Spaihts appears to be the ideal choice to bring the game to life on the big screen. He has also written scripts for Doctor Strange and Prometheus, among other films, so he is no stranger to the sci-fi genre.
