a5c7b9f00b Feature film based on the popular video game, Halo. The script is written, but disagreements over distribution rights have repeatedly sent this project in and out of pre-production. Some of those involved have said the project is "dead", but <a href="/name/nm0001392/">Peter Jackson</a>, the executive producer, continues to claim that this film will get made. In other words it's on hold.<br/><br/>It was speculated that the new Peter Jackson/Niel Blomkamp film District 9--http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1136608/ was an alias for the Halo film, but this is now obviously not the case. Jackson and Blomkamp were working on the Halo movie, and when that attempt collapsed, the pair went to work on District 9 instead.<br/><br/>There are currently rumors of Steven Spielberg being in negotiations to take the reins of the Halo movie, but there are few details. No, there is no official trailer for the Halo movie, but there are three live action official short films created by director Neil Blomkamp, as advertisements for the Halo 3 video game. These short films were rumored to be test footage for the Halo movie. These short films can be found for free, high definition download, on Xbox Live and can also be watched on YouTube.com. Yes, in part. There have been multiple scripts written for the movie and they all, roughly, follow the events of the original game, Halo: Combat Evolved. There are some major differences though... In one version of the script Master Chief, the main character from the video games, plays a supporting role while the main story focuses on a group of Marines. Also, other major characters and plot devices in the movie may come from the Halo novels and not necessarily from the game.<br/><br/>Most likely they are going to try and make more then just one film and focus on the novels. Then lead in to the Halo Films based more on the games.
