Breaking X05 news: Peter Jackson signs on for Halo movie

One of the best directors ever works with the world's biggest, most evil corporation.

I hate MS.

but i loves me some halo!

the books are a suprisingly interestign read which lend a lot of weigh to the rather thin story in halo2... i'm actualyl starting to get real excited forthis movie... please dont be crap, please dont be crap....

halo 3 continues from the movie... thats going to be interesting... so does the movie pick up from halo2's ending? im real curious to see how mr. 28 days later wraps that up into a cohereant movie watchable even by those who have not played the games/read the books.

OK, BS spong. If i read that right you said the Halo movie is going to cinemas in 2005. No way, no how. Just now signing a director means that its going to take a while for the movie to be cast, filmed (or animated if they do that), and edited. I don't know if you've been smoking something weird that you shouldn't have or been making a few typos lately, but there is no way the movie is coming out in 2005. I think we'll see Halo 3 before the movie, assuming that Bungie is already crack-a-lackin on the next game.

well seeing as it says that halo3 will follw the movie story wise i imagine you woudl see th emovie first or at the same time... as for the release date... seeing as its october i am assuming thats a typo... i know a certain managign editor whose getting a ruller to the knuckles tomorrow! (like i would honestly complain about anyone elses typing, HA!)

"rare bread" says I!!

Sorry! You're right, it was a typo. More a case of late-nights and work load rather than weed overload.

2007 is the release year.

oh, how typical. Christ...
Look, some of us feel the same about Sony. Their little deal with the devil when their precious little cinema wing got sued for plagiarism (see: Underworld) demonstrates quite nicely their ruthless streak.

And what is so evil about MS? How they price their OS? Oh, waa. Mac charge $115 (roughly £65) for OS X and nobody bats an eyelid, but woe betide Windows costing £70. And how much is a Mac again?
Is it the amount of money they're making? Cry me a river, think of how much Google is bloody making and they're a Goddamn search engine.

For Christ sakes, Bill goes and dontaes a ton of cash a year to charities, helps out in attempting to wipe out world debt and poverty in Africa, and all people can do is go "bad Microsoft, wanting my precious monies! Making me need an OS and use their stuff! They wanna own the world, they does!"

Well guess what. SO DOES EVERY COMRPORATION. Don't like it? Become a socialist and an activist, AND DO SO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Just stop wagging your bloody finger.

Anyway... 2007? S**t. Halo 3's a LONG wait!
