Microsoft Might Still Make The Halo Xbox Game Movie

Rumors persist that Microsoft hasn't given up on making a film based on its multi-million-selling Halo franchise, with Spielberg tipped as being down for producing it. I'd like to see one made. Once upon a time, Microsoft was going to make a big budget Hollywood version of the Halo franchise. Until it spectacularly fell apart. That doesn't mean it won't ever happen, says the company.

Back in 2005, a film version of Halo was first penned by Alex Garland, writer of The Beach novel and 28 Days Later screenplay, and it was slated to be released by 20th Century Fox. Acting as producer Peter Jackson and his WETA studio began making props for the Halo film. And filmmaker Neill Blomkamp began making Halo short films for Microsoft.
