Possible New Halo Script
Apr 2, 2008
Screenwriter Stuart Beattie, who most recently wrote the script for the G.I. Joe movie is also is a huge Halo fan. Frustruated with the lack of progress with the movie, he has taken it upon himself to re-write the script, for free, based on the novel HALO: FALL OF REACH, by Eric Nylund.
It's good to see someone doing something to get this movie going.

Master Chief is Not the Main Character
Mar 26, 2008
In the not so new, but new to me section, I've learned that Master Chief will NOT be the main character in the Halo movie.
Bungie Writing Director Joseph Staten in an interview with Level Up stated that Mater Chief will be a supporting character. Why?
"Where the Master Chief doesn't have a face... That's hard to carry as a main character for an entire film. But you can certainly surround him with people who don't have helmets on and you can see their faces."
I was a little surprised, but after letting it settle I actually think that's the right move.
Halo Movie Update
Jan, 24, 2008
I received a lot of email regarding the movie, so I will take the opprotunity to answer some of your questions.
Q: IMDB.com says the movie will be released in 2009, is that true?
A: No, this is purely a guess. The movie is not even shooting yet, but Microsoft is actively looking for distributer.
Q: I hear the movie is canceled, is that true?
A: No. There's a lot of negotiations going on with this movie which is why it is taking so long. Peter Jackson is currently working on other projects while Microsoft finds a distributer. However Microsoft has stated time and again that they want to make a Halo movie.
Q: Are you affiliated with Microsoft? How do you know this information?
A: No, we are a fan site. We get our information by checking press releases, news sites or it is submitted by fans. We then check the source and if we think its accurate we post it.
