Halo Movie Gets A Studio,,,Or 2 !

The latest rumors around the long talked about Halo movie have reached fever pitch last week with the announcement that 2 of Hollywoods biggest studios would be joining forces for the Halo movie. It is rumored that Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox will split the production costs and distribution, with Universal covering North American release and Fox covering the overseas release. This could be great news, because the cash inflow from these studios could ensure that the movie is done right. Part of the proposed contract also states that the studios must adhere to the strict guidelines set by the game developers. this news came out just days after the script penned by "28 Days Later" scribe Alex Garland was delivered to studios. And of coarse Microsoft wouldn't do things the normal way, they had people dress up in full Master Chief armor to deliver the scripts to the studio. I would have loved to see the look on the face of the security guard at the front gate when they showed up that day. No director has been connected to the project yet, but it is said that Ridley Scott, who has already turned it down once, is looking at the project again.
