Halo Movie

I have been a fan of the bungie's Halo video game series since the day it came out. No other first person shooter has the level of play or has captured my imagination in quite the same way. So i have been eagerly awaiting word about the new Halo movie. Well there is some new news on the movie; both good and bad.

First the bad news.

It seems that production has been delayed and now the movie is going to come out some time in 2008. That sucks. Rumor also has it that alex garland's script, bought from him by Microsoft for $1 million may not be used. Alex Garland doesn't have that impressive a record on script writing so i really don't care. D. B. Weiss might take up the script instead. This could be bad for two reasons. One is that it will further delay the movie which already won't come out at the earliest until my junior year. Secondly, Weiss doesn't have any past writing according to IMDB, but he is writing the script for Ender's Game movie, which i didn't know was coming out, but will be awesome.

The good news is that the rumor is that Denzel Washington will play Master Chief. Oh yeah.

I thought about that for about half a second and I know that his voice is perfect for the part. Hopefully this is more than a rumor.

I can just see Master Chief sticking C4 up someone's butt.

Priceless.

And Michael Jackson is still executive producter.

Awesome.
