Microsoft really needs to think about what they're doing. If they keep trying to get every penny for themselves then this movie will never come out!

Josh Olson, who was nominated for an Academy Award last year for his acclaimed graphic novel adaptation A History of Violence, has been officially signed to write the screenplay for the Peter Jackson-produced adaptation of Bungie's Halo. Although there has been no announcement yet, Josh broke the news during recent speeches in Philadelphia and Michigan, and has confirmed it personally. HoV was not an especially faithful adaptation of its source material, but many considered it superior, so this could be good or bad depending on how much of a purist you are. Josh is a big Xbox fan, though, so the story should be in good hands.

On the bad news front, Fox and Universal have pulled out of their deal with Jackson's production company, citing concerns over the swelling $200 million budget, and director Neill Blomkamp's inexperience. Production will continue even in the absence of a distribution deal however, and the involved parties remain confident in the project's viability.

sux

i wish universal would have stay in it..i could have sold my suits to them if they ever do a halo show at the studios that i work at

 

[Adam]

They'd probably get Weta to make the suits....

 

[link4044]

no

the for the movie the studios

 

[Deadguy]

Heh.. we got offerred that gig already. Universal studios already contacted us to do a bunch for the parks. nothing firm though.. It's just as well, considering that Universal's out.

They hit us up for Colonial Marines too. I think it was for the Aliens Vs. Predator movie, and then of course.. there were no marines, so that was a no-go too.

 

[Adam]

it'd be no good for the parks, unless people in the suits were 6'6" or more.

That's what I'd wanna see anyhow.[/i]

[link4044]

[Adam]

the studio just wanted more of a cut at the last minute, and microsoft said "no we already had a deal"

It isn't canceled, but postponed. Due to the production studio switchup, they are in the process of deliberating their funds again now with Warner Bros.
