Being a film maker in California there is a lot of buzz about the Halo movie. Not much being said though as to actual facts on the project becuase those involved are very tight lipped about it (as they should be becuase thats how the business goes).
Bungie could do the film themselves, but they'd be hard pressed to do it becuase it would be mostly out of pocket for them. Where as Peter Jackson has contacts in place that will just throw money at him knowing that he's Hollywood's golden boy when it comes to Epic Movies, so even as a producer, they think of him as a sure bet, which he has in the past.
So Halo sounds like its in good hands for the most part. The writing team that tends to revolve around Jackson's circles are known for keeping true to the source material but updating the "look" (ala king kong and LoTR) so we should be in for a treat.
I will be mainly looking at which Prop house they go through.. becuase by god I want to buy the Warthog after they get done filming!
