Back before Neill Blomkamp became a household name for sci-fi he directed a couple Halo short films for the release of Halo 3. He was then attached to direct a feature film being produced by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings). That film like the many times before went into development hell. It has now emerged as a Microsoft Exclusive on Xbox One as a possible web series produced by Steven Spielberg himself!

Now according to Latino-Review it seemed Neill Blomkamp is back on as a possible director for the web-series pilot episode! Ever since Bloomkamp went onto direct District 9 and Elysium he has come out to say he doesn't want to return to the Halo universe. Take with a garin of salt until further notice...

Master Chief has been itching for a live-action movie since the first game. Great directors like Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) and Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium) have been attached but this video game adaption has always been left in development hell. Now Production Weekly has updated their website with a 'Untitled HALO Project' and apparently Ridley Scott (Prometheus) is attached:

When Jim Vejvoda of IGN Movies asked about this Production Weekly replied in a tweet:

If we know anything is that Prometheus CGI was beyond beautiful and could bring Halo to life. They also add that Paul Scheuring (Prison Break) is the scribe on the film. Like they state above very little is known on this project at the moment.


Stay tuned as this story develops....
