Halo

Halo is an extremely popular game made by Bungie and published by Microsoft. There have been three versions of the game, five novels, two graphic novels and various spin-off games and other products.
Fans of the game want to know if the rumors are true. Will there be a Halo movie?

According to Screen Rant, "in April of this year that screenwriter Stuart Beattie (Gears of War, G.I. Joe) had written a spec screenplay for Halo. He did this because he was frustrated with the lack of progress on the project. It’s been pitched or rumored previously, but no studio has bitten.

The term 'spec screenplay,' is a screenplay that has been written for no money and is a speculative effort.

Beattie is a big Halo fan, and the effort he put forth was a fan’s labor of love. This could be a very good thing for the fans of Halo indeed, to have someone write a script who really knows the background of a franchise."

Other information is that Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) will be the executive producer on the film. The one problem is that no studio is wanting to make the film right now.

Halo has a projected release date of 2009 on IMDB, but that doesn't look like it will happen if pre-production hasn't even started on the film yet.
