Beattie Gears of War

Beattie (who scripted the first Pirates of the Caribbean flick, and Buz Luhrmann's upcoming epic Australia) praised recent hit 300 and hinted at the visual feel of the Gears film: "It's interesting. Everyone's talking about 300. They use it as an example of where things are headed. That film was shot completely on green screen, which is amazing when you actually see the film. It's probably how we're going to do Gears of War."
