I just crapped myself. Seriously. This is awesome news for the Bungie/Halo Community as a whole. Rejoice! The Halo movie will official probably not suck!

(However, this leaves one a stone unturned: If Jackson's the Executive Producer, then who's the director?)

Wait wait wait.

"Needless to say I and the rest of Bungie are positively incontinent (Marty especially). But what really knocks us on our asses is we’re also getting the combined talent of the mighty men and women of WETA in the bargain. From fabricating Covenant weapons to building life-sized Forerunner structures to accomplishing shot after shot of complex live-action/CG integration – simply put, there’s no group of people we’d rather have realize the Halo universe on screen."

Is that an official heads-up that the movie is going to be shot in live action? If so, then WHOO HOO!

Now that's Incredible

I think that if Peter Jackson is on as the E.P than people should be lining up around the block to Direct. Good people.

LOL. Hobbit grunts would kick butt, but so would a Dwarf. An Elf could be a jackal. The cave troll could be a Hunter.

Hey, I'm on the 1st page...

Mary and Scott are awsome! Mary's down to earth, soft-spoken, really smart about story. Scott's the dealer - he'll get people in the room, drive them toward consensus. Energetic. My impressions for what they're worth.

But getting Jackson and Weta on board is the key to making this happen. Jackson understands scale - more than any filmmaker out there, he handles scale with ease, both digital and real.

Lock in a director who can tell a great story with performances - and this will be as close to a sure thing as you can get in hollywood.

With A-list above-the-line already in place - casting will be the easy part. Actors will want to be a part of this experience...
