Even after it was announced that Fox and Universal had pulled out of the Halo film project, both Microsoft and Peter Jackson assured that the movie was still on track. But today Microsoft and Peter Jackson's Wingnut Films jointly made a statement that pushes production off to some distant time:
"As was previously confirmed, we deeply regret that both Universal and Fox did not choose to move forward with financing the Halo film under the original terms of the agreement. At this time Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, along with their partner, Microsoft, have mutually agreed to postpone making a feature film based on the Halo video game universe until we can fulfill the promise we made to millions of Halo fans throughout the world that we would settle for no less than bringing a first class film to the big screen.
We are fully supportive of Director Neill Blomkamp's vision of the film. Neill is a tremendously gifted filmmaker and his preliminary work on Halo is truly awe-inspiring. While it will undoubtedly take a little longer for Halo to reach the big screen, we are confident that the final feature film will be well worth the wait."
While the project hasn't been cancelled outright, this definitely doesn't bode well for the possibility of a Halo movie. Remember how many years it took for a new Superman film to come out?
