“lord of the rings director Peter Jackson has confirmed that his Halo game project is no longer in developement. “it sort of collapsed when the movie didn’t end up happening, from a movie maker’s point of view, the 360 is the stage where they work their magic in the same way the do with movies and books”

Now no offence to Jackson, but who cares?! it’s all very well being all philosophical about “the 360 world’s a stage” idea, but we’re talking about a frickin’ feature length, big screen grunt-killing fest for god sake!! You can’t complain about the story not working because the hardcore fans don’t even need a good story, all they want is the idea that their favourite game in the universe is going to be a film and the thought alone would be enough to wet themselves in excitement!

Keifer Sutherland was going to play Master Chief but his contract with FOX made that an impossibility as FOX wanted a stake in the profits.

Also I’ve heard that the script is done and the film is designed for a sequel. The sequel is written for the Arbiters point of view. Similar to Halo 2.
At this point the biggest stumbling block is finding the perfect actor to play Master Chief…

The statement from Microsoft DOES NOT DENY anyone’s else’s ideas or efforts that might be headed in the direction of making a movie.

To be honest, I think MS is just being pragmatic so they’re not on the hook in case things fall through the cracks.

Sources are saying things are looking pretty good still.

This movie is to be remembered for a long time, I never felt sympathy for characters in a movie before. The Mech scene was to awesome to describe, the sound effect were very well done. Applause to Shalto Copley he was a marvel in the character he played a very unlikely hero. The CGI movement was flawless.The is so much pluses in the movie, this movie is so good that I left my popcorn untouched throughout the movie, because I were so glued to the screen. It blows any sci-fi movie of this year so far out of the water.

It is a must see movie.

You dont have to be a halo fan to be involved in the article. I do like spielberg and jackson’s work so stow it.

They released a live action real people short film involving a team trying to recover the chief. basically an intro to halo 3. Parts of the short where mainly there to give people the awe of seeing weapons vehicles and enemies in real life. but its done very well and provides a true war time feel.

AND, im suprised NO ONE on this site is talking about James camerons NEXT movie battle angel (where the main character is supposed to be entirely cgi surrounded by a live cast). with all the buzz (and i guess personal eyes on proof), why isnt this next film being talked about at all. if what ive heard about angel is correct, well theres your whole who plays master chief issue done and dead.

Has a nice ring to it, eh?
