After losing official backing from two Hollywood studios – Fox and Universal – following money worries, Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films has announced that the film is now on hold.
Not surprising to be honest and by reading the company’s statement, it tries its best to remain upbeat about the whole situation:
“As was previously confirmed, we deeply regret that both Universal and Fox did not choose to move forward with financing the Halo film under the original terms of the agreement. At this time Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, along with their partner, Microsoft, have mutually agreed to postpone making a feature film based on the Halo video game universe until we can fulfil the promise we made to millions of Halo fans throughout the world that we would settle for no less than bringing a first class film to the big screen. We are fully supportive of Director Neill Blomkamp’s vision of the film. Neill is a tremendously gifted filmmaker and his preliminary work on Halo is truly awe-inspiring. While it will undoubtedly take a little longer for Halo to reach the big screen, we are confident that the final feature film will be well worth the wait.”
Halo the movie was suppose to be out in the cinemas in 2008. So when will the film be release? No idea…
