Halo Movie Director Says Film Is ‘Dead’

Neill Blomkamp has revealed that any plans of him making a movie version of the popular Halo movie game are well and truly scrapped. The game follows the story of human soldiers fighting against an alien race and has sold around $4 bn copies. Surely a movie version would be very profitable?

The director has said,

“The film is entirely dead. In the configuration it was in. Whatever happens with that movie, assuming that movie gets made, will be a totally different configuration.

“It’s not so much me as the entire vessel sank. Basically, it was a combination of…there were two studios involved that weren’t getting along in the process of making it, Universal and Fox. That kind of stuff happens, it’s a fragile industry.

“So the film collapsed at the end of last year, and it’s been dead ever since then. I’ll be curious to see what happens”.

It has been reported that Universal and Fox wanted to pull out of financing the film as it would have cost to much to make.
