A live-action film adaptation for the Halo franchise was in production in 2005, with Peter Jackson as the executive producer and Neill Blomkamp as the director. A development hell, the production underwent numerous changes and conflict of interest between parties until it was declared dead in 2007.

The "Halo Phenomenon" and early negotiations
Following the success of Halo: Combat Evolved, Bungie Studios was approached by Hollywood producers to produce a film adaptation of the game. Joe Staten, on Bungie's studio manage Pete Parsons' advice, travelled to Hollywood to discuss the terms of the production and the sales but later declined to give the project the green light due concerns over creative control of the production.

The film project was revived when then-Columbia Pictures president Peter Schlessel approached Bungie Studios. Schlessel's proposal for the film project was rather straightforward: "Finance the script yourselves. Hire a writer, have him write something you love, then bring it to Hollywood with a simple message: 'This is the movie we want to make. Who wants to make it with us?'" He also recommended several writers to assist with the scriptwriting; Bungie chose Alex Garland (known for his 28 Days Later screenplay). Garland's script was then pitched to studios by couriers dressed as Master Chief.
