LotR masterminds Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh announce they’ll be executive producing the film version of Halo, with WETA in charge of the FX. “‘As a gaming fan, I’m excited to bring Halo’s premise, action and settings to the screen with all the specificity and reality today’s technology can provide,’ said Jackson.” Halo? I dunno…even as just a production credit, I think it’s a bizarre choice for Wingnut Films, particularly as a follow-up to the Rings trilogy and Kong.
