The Halo franchise may be geekdom's last, best hope for a good movie based on a video game. The Halo Times chronicles every angle of that hope, from the first rumors to the final roll of the credits.  The blog is updated as Halo news happens, including the announcement that Peter Jackson would executive-produce the movie, rumors that a script had been leaked and reports that Guillermo del Toro is debating between directing Hellboy 2 and the Halo flick.
Those looking to get caught up on happenings with the film can check out the FAQ, which answers such questions as who's writing the film, what its budget is, when it's being released and what role game maker Bungie has in the production. The Media section is small but has such notable finds as a clip of Peter Jackson discussing the film and a page from Bungie's "Halo bible" that accompanied the draft script. Movie discussions in the forums are subdued, but the games section sees a fair amount of traffic. |
