After Fox and Universal pulled out of the Halo Movie project (See Halo Movie Timeline), many speculated that the two studios were nervous about having first-time feature director Neal Blomkamp directing the picture. However, Peter Jackson's rep, Ken Kamins stated that "Everybody is supremely confident in Neal, Part of what excited Peter and Fran was Neal's vision. We're very confident this film will move forward with the creative partners intact, who will take the film to production."^[1]

+{{BigQuote|'''How faithful do you plan on staying to the design of Master Chief's armor?'''
+Neill Blomkamp: Master Chief is certainly something that I do not want to change too much at all, there are certain things inside the Halo universe that are sacred and he's the main one.
+Having said that, there is a need to revise certain parts of him, just from a purely technical standpoint, he has to actually be able to move, like a human, and the game design right now does not allow for full motion freedom, which we will have to achieve.<BR><BR>
+'''Quint: Guy in a suit? CGI creation? Mixture of both?'''
+Neill Blomkamp: Well, the film has to have a feeling of reality, and so that means that I want to keep him real as much as I can, there is a necessity for him to become cg in sequences where a guy in a suit would just not work, but for the most part I am aiming for real.<ref>[http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=24139 aintitcool.com August 10, 2006 Interview]</ref>}}
