Halo movie? Is it real?

[Gonzalo]

Is Halo the movie real? I have seen the first eight minutes looks pretty real. If it's real when is it going to be released?

The movie has been put on hold... With an expected release of 2012.

"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 Peter Jackson, the executive producer, continues to claim that this film will get made. In other words it's on hold.

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.

There are currently rumors of Steven Spielberg being in negotiations to take the reins of the Halo movie, but there are few details."

That was supposedly just a teaser, to get a fan reaction and to see if it was possible to make a film that we wouldnt hate! I hope so but probably wont be for a while.

But there is a movie out (Halo Legends) which is a collection of short stories of various people in the Halo universe which is worth checking out.
