Spielberg 'blown away' by Halo movie script, wants in |

Spielberg dipping his hands into the golden Halo franchise? Not entirely surprising, and according to film site IESB, "solid and confirmed three times over with studio executives and close ties to CAA". That's right, the man behind the epic movies Jaws, E.T., Indiana Jones and Transformers would like to be a part of the Master Chiefs battles against the Covenant, in the full glory of the big Silver.
According to the reports, Steven Spielberg was "blown away" by what screenplay writer Stuart Beattie did with the story, the script of which is entitled "Halo: The Fall of Reach". Both director and writer are thus said to be "heavily negotiating" for the movie.
Do note though that the director, if ever the negotiations work out, will be putting on his Producer's hat, and not the directorial cap. If that be the case, then who could he possibly be eyeing for the directorial task?
Meanwhile, here's how Beattie described his script for the movie last year. Guess it was definitely no joke after all.
The script is, first and foremost, a character-driven story about a soldier named John who was kidnapped or "conscripted" by the UNSC when he was just six years old, and then brutally trained to become an elite Spartan warrior known as Master Chief 117.
The script then takes us through the horrific first contact with the Covenant hordes on the doomed colony world of Harvest, and then climaxes with the spectacular fall of the UNSC forward base on Reach, during which every other Spartan is slaughtered.
The script also gives detailed outlines for the second movie, HALO: RISE OF THE FLOOD, which takes place entirely on the Halo ringworld, and the third and final movie, HALO: BATTLE FOR EARTH, which roughly follows the events of Halo 3, the game.
One cool advantage of this first script is that (like the shark in JAWS) you don't even see the Covenant until halfway through the movie. And because all the creatures are CGI creations, this cuts the budget down dramatically and makes a first Halo movie that much more viable. For Halo fans, it's like the prequel that provides all the answers to questions they've thought about for years. For non Halo fans, it's an exciting action movie that provides a clear, concise introduction to a world five hundred years in the future with relatable characters and a terrifying alien menace.
You know the drill: until official word is out, this is tagged as rumor.

I doubt this will be good as there was no interesting plot in halo and most game adaptations are crap anyway.

Not to mention, lot's of people were suspecting that District 9 was basically a test to see how well he can capture that Halo look and translate it.
