I have been reading some interesting articles, it seems that the halo movie isnt completely dead yet! Thanks to 1up for this very interesting article on the rumor!

“Here’s a good lesson in semantics, folks. Earlier this month, Neill Blomkamp, the would-be director of the ill-fated Halo movie, said the project was “entirely dead.” Yes, as it existed, but that’s not to say the possibility of a Halo movie in some form or another is out the window. In fact, Variety reports that preparation work on the Halo film continues at Weta, while Microsoft is in talks to find new distribution partners.”

“Kamins also shot down both the rumors of a swelling budget and dissatisfaction with Blomkamp. ‘The only budget the filmmakers every spoke about was $145 million less the 12.5% rebate that you get from shooting in New Zealand, which would put it at about $128 million,’ said [Jackson representative Ken Kamins]. And of the director, Kamins said, ‘Everybody is supremely confident in Neall. Part of what excited Peter and Fran was Neill’s vision. We’re very confident this film will move forward with the creative partners intact, who will take the film to production.”
