Halo movie

Triple-Academy Award winners Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh (”The Lord of the Rings” trilogy) will serve as the executive producers of “Halo”, the upcoming feature film based on Microsoft’s phenomenally popular video game reports Rope of Silicon.

I just heard this news, and can I just say? I’m nearly spastic with joy over it.

Can you even imagine?

?As a gaming fan, I?m excited to bring HALO’s premise, action and settings to the screen with all the specificity and reality today?s technology can provide,? said Jackson. ?Fran and I are intrigued by the unique challenges this project offers, and we?re delighted to be working again with our friends at Universal, and with our new ones at Fox and Microsoft. I?m a huge fan of the game and look forward to helping it come alive on the cinema screen.?

(I do realize that largely everyone who reads this blog cares little or nothing about Halo, either in movie or game form. Just me geeking the heck out over here.)

    I’ve never played Halo but it sounds and looks pretty sweet. I, too, am a geekazoid with impulsive and addictive tendancies. So, you can understand why I mustn’t GO to Best Buy to find out more about this game!

    Anyway, Peter Jackson is a GOD of movie-making! I look forward to seeing his version of the game in movie form! Are you psyched for Kong???
