Peter Jackson, who was formerly producing a [[Halo Movie|movie based on Halo]], had this to say about the New Project:
{{BigQuote|''I am getting a little bored with films...more and more I'm looking forward to the release of games, and not movies. I am more aware and excited about games."''
''"I do not have to keep delivering stories as movies - there are other things I can do.''"
''"Technology is at a point where we can blend a lot of film storytelling with interactive entertainment...the series would not be for hardcore gamers.''}}
