Ok, so Hollywood didn't bite with the first Halo movie deal, with production going on and off for months (years, actually...), and eventually grounding to a halt. But that doesn't mean it was a bad idea to begin with, which is why Hollywood screenwriter Stuart Beattie - the guy who wrote the original Pirates of the Caribbean movie - is giving it another go.
Beattie gave the story a fresh new start, basing the script on the best selling novel, Halo: Fall of Reach, a 2001 science fiction novel by Eric Nylund. It's based on the Halo series, and acts as the prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved. Of course, it also stars Master Chief.
The script caught the attention of some Hollywood people, and concept art has even been created by Kasra Farahani - who made the concept art for movies such as Spiderman 3 and Hancock - for a presentation to be made to Microsoft (that's one of them above). Will this script make the cut and actually go up on the silver screen? We can only hope.

This movie needs to be carefully done. Peter Jackson is the only director I trust with directing. Or Spielberg haha!
And please, don't turn Halo in a disney-themed film!
