New Line signs Gears of War movie license
Chainsaw decapitation coming to the big screen
New Line Cinema has won the rights to the upcoming motion-picture adaptation of Gears of War.
Australian screenwriter, Stuart Beattie, headed up the proposal with a 21-page treatment for the motion picture, which will be produced by Marty Bowen (The Nativity Story) and Wyck Godfrey (Alien Vs Predator 2, Eragon ), reports variety.com.

Beattie previously wrote big-name films such as Collateral and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
There's not even been so much as a hint of the plot, but we trust it will involve plenty of shooting and gore. We want to see some chainsaw scenes in there.
