Zack Snyder wants to direct a Gears of War movie

You remember that feeling when you mix your favorite flavors and they create an explosion of deliciousness? Well, imagine that same euphoria but with the genius of Zack Snyder melding with the gritty battlegrounds of “Gears of War.” Yep, there’s a chance, just a gleaming glimmer, that Snyder might take the directorial reins for a Gears of War movie.

Zack Snyder’s directorial style, the one that gave us the visual grandeur of “Man of Steel,” could be an electrifying match for the gritty Gears universe. Picture it: chainsaw bayonets tearing through the Locust Horde, explosions that’d make even Michael Bay envious – that’s the Snyder touch we all know and love, paired with the battle-hardened world of Gears of War.

And can we talk about the casting masterpiece that is Dave Bautista as Marcus Fenix? I mean, come on, it’s like fate intervened and declared, “This is it!” Cliff Bleszinski aka Cliffy B, the visionary architect behind Gears of War, has been championing this casting for ages, and it’s no wonder. Bautista’s got that rugged authenticity that screams Marcus Fenix.

I approve but only if @DaveBautista is Marcus… https://t.co/yIVq2pWHuu
