halomovieSad news to all Halo fans out there (which includes us fans here at the QJ blog): contrary to earlier reports that the Halo movie is still moving forward, hot off the press is Wingnut Films' confirmation that as of now, Jackson, Walsh, and Microsoft have decided to just postpone the production of the movie.

According to the PR, Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh along with Microsoft have all decided that they'd rather halt the production of the movie for now and disappoint the fans than give them a second-rate Halo movie which would cause an even bigger disappointment.

Hmmm. It seems that Jackson, Walsh, and MS wouldn't settle for any other studios to seal the movie franchise deal other than Fox and Universal. So if this is the case, and they've put the production on hold, we think this only means that there'll be further negotiation attempts with the said studios. It's sad that we have to wait a little longer, but at least we're being assured of a grade-A movie when it does come out, right?

Yea. This is the best news ever. Everyone knows that comic book movies and video game movies are total crap and second rate. I mean come on... Halo movie???? BWAAHHAHAH! The aliens are gonna be so fake looking. Master Chief will probably be some black ass wearing bling bling. It will be the worst movie of all time.

» Don't think so

No... I'm pretty sure you're thinking of APPLE. Bungie used to make games for Apple before Microsoft bought Bungie, not Sony.



Nice try though.
