I stopped it. https://t.co/KahohpMH3A- Rod Fergusson (@RodFergusson) July 12, 2019 Sounds like we can assume that smoking will definitely not be happening in the upcoming Gears of War movie… Although not too much is known about the upcoming cinematic project, it’s hoped that it won’t fall victim to the dreaded curse of game-to-movie adaptations.

Speaking to IGN, Fergusson stated that the movie will stray from what fans of the games might be expecting, with the emphasis on it being a movie surpassing its history as a games series.ADVERT ADVERT Credit: Xbox Game Studios The Gears of War movie reportedly won’t be set in the same universe but instead in an alternate timeline. Worryingly for fans of the games, Fergusson also said that the movie’s priority is on being a “great movie first” and a Gears of War movie second, which might leave a bitter taste in players’ mouths… “In order for the movie to be successful, it has to be a great movie first and a Gears movie second,” said Fergusson.
