Halo Movie Supposedly Delayed?!?!?


Here is a little more info on the Halo moivefrom Xboxic.com

Master Chief won’t make it onto the silver screen next summer. The movie adaptation of the game has been pushed back at least a year according to popular movie site IMDb. The ‘good’ news is that the movie will still be produced by Peter Jackson (not directed) and the script for the movie is done and approved by Bungie. Let’s just hope they’ll do this movie right and don’t rape it like Uwe Boll does with his movies.

The directorless film adaptation of Microsoft’s popular video game will be executive produced by triple-Academy Award winners Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh via their WingNut Films banner. The Halo script was penned by Alex Garland (28 Days Later), who was paid $1 million by Microsoft to write a script that met Bungie’s approval.

With the third installment in the game series rumored to be connected with the silver screen adaptation, could the delay of the movie affect the release of Halo 3 or are they both planned to arrive in winter 2007/2008? According to Bungie, Halo 3 and the Halo movie will not affect each other in terms of release dates.
