Halo film

Rumors of a Halo movie have been heard for a while, but now it has been officially confirmed by Bungie. The movie will be handled by 21th Century Fox and Universal Pictures, the latter handling the movie production. Wingnut Films, the team behind Lord of the Rings and King Kong, will be working on the movie. It will be live-action, but include a heavy amount of CGI.

In Bungie's announcement, Joseph Staten mentioned he said the following after seeing 28 Days Later: ''"If we ever make a Halo movie, who would you want to write it?" I asked Marty as we exited the theater, "I bet that Garland guy would be all over the Flood."'' Because Alex Garland is indeed the writer, it is reasonable to expect Flood. Staten also guaranteed that there will be Grunts.

Peter Jackson has been confirmed as executive producer for the film. While it is often speculated that he will also direct, this is very unlikely. Jackson has said he is tired after spending so much time on King Kong, and Halo will be a break.

A website called Latino Review has posted a script review of the upcoming Halo movie; Rampancy.net asserts that it's credible. However, Bungie has said the story is not yet complete.

Recently IMDB posted 2008 as the release date of the movie. However, like Halopedia, IMDB is based largely on user contributions, which can lead to inaccuracy, especially because IMDB is slower to update and correct false information.
