Looks like Master Chief still has to overcome some fiscal enemies before he gets to kick some alien butt on the big screen.
A little over a year ago, Microsoft inked a deal to bring its Halo video game franchise to the big screen, with Universal Pictures handling the actual production of the movie as well as its domestic distribution, while international distribution would be handled by Twentieth Century Fox. The movie then brought on producing team Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh (Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong) to executive-produce the project with established producers Mary Parent, Scott Stuber, and Peter Schlessel. Pre-production has been underway at Weta Digital and Weta Workshop in New Zealand.
