HALO MOVIE STILL COMING!!!!!!!! Heck Yeah!

He was only rumored to be lined up to produce, not direct, and MS has said it's nothing but rumors, and the Halo movie is still indefinetly on hold.
 
Jackson was also only ever producing. Do you people not actually read anything? Neil Blomkamp, who directed District 9, was set to direct. He actually would have been perfect.

Also, MS didn't blow anything. They wanted a hundred million dollar budget (about the same that Superman Returns had), and creative control. You know, to make sure that the studio (FOX!!!!) didn't give the production twenty million to be made on, and then hire Uwe Boll to write and direct.
 
Didn't they also want like 20% of gross profits? That would be insane if it was true.
 
With how much money a Halo movie would make, the other 80% would still be hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars. With this whole 343 thing going on with Halo now, I'm fairly sure they'll end up just making the movie themself, making probably the most expensive indy movie ever in the process, and then getting an established studio to distribute it.
 
Sorry, I don't follow Halo news very closely anymore. What 343 thing?
 
MS has opened an entire studio dedicated to Halo projects, named 343 (after 343 Guilty Spark). They're currently working on a direct to dvd Gotham Knight-esque anime project, and will be heading any other Halo multimedia projects in the future. They're also making Halo Waypoint for the 360, which is going to be a thing to track your status across all the Halo games.
