Microsoft is currently assembling a team which may very well work with renowned Hollywood director Peter Jackson. The official Microsoft website recently posted a job listing on its career page specifically looking for talented people willing to "help develop a new experience in the Halo universe".

It was also announced during the X06 event in Barcelona that the project will be under the supervision of Peter Jackson. A Microsoft spokesperson mentioned that the development of the new collaboration is well underway and the need to expand the internal team was needed to keep everything up to speed.

Unfortunately, Bungie Studios will not be a part of this project, which will appear as an exclusive Microsoft Game Studios endeavor. Microsoft is currently looking for a Creative Director, a Producer, Game Engineers and other specialists to join the team.

Does this also mean that there might also be a possibility of the revival of the long buried Halo movie everyone was talking about last year? There's been no word on that specifically, but everyone has a right to dream about it whatever the case may be. Anyway, make sure to visit QJ.NET again for more updates regarding this hot topic.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

I agree with most people that Halo 3 wasnt all that different of an experience compared to Halo 2 and 1. With Peter Jackson involved the story and presentation will surely be different. I hope it is still a FPS but I hope they can change things up and come up with some new ideas. Hopefully these new people they hire are not the ones who made Vampire Rain.
