Netflix is making a Gears of War movie, and if the game's original designer had any say in the casting--which he does not--he would not choose Chris Pratt. Cliff Bleszinski, who designed the Gears of War series at Epic Games before departing the studio in 2012, lobbied to "keep Pratt away" from the series.

In a tweet, Bleszinski reacted to the Gears of War x Netflix news, saying, "Oh and keep Chris Pratt away from the Gears franchise, please, FFS." He didn't offer up any rationale as to why he wouldn't want Pratt to appear in the Gears of War movie or any other extension of the universe.

Bleszinski did, however, agree with the joke that it would be funny for Pratt to play all members of the Carmine family. This being the internet, someone very quickly created mock-up images of Pratt as Gears of War characters--check out the images below.
