You’ve played both the games and now get ready to watch Master Chief kick some Covenant ass on the big screen. The movie will be directed by South African newcomer Neil Blomkamp and produced by none other than Peter Jackson (LOTR, King Kong).

Halo will be shot in New Zealand and will be released in 2007/2008, and here’s a quick synopsis for those who’ve just emerged from their bomb shelter (courtesy imdb.com):
After they crash-land on an artificial ring-world called Halo, a marine captain, his surviving marines, and a genetically-and-surgically-enhanced supersoldier called "Master Chief" must find out what the Covenant, the genocidal alien race they are at war with, are looking for on the ring. However, Halo holds more secrets than either side imagined.
