Hollywood Halo Highchief Halted

by Jason Bean on November 2nd, 2006

Could the proposed Halo movie crash into oblivion like a Covenant Wraith with a rocket up it’s rear end?

News reports state that production of the Halo movie has been halted until further notice. It seems Universal and Fox aren’t willing to pony-up the amount of money it would take to

“fulfill 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.”

I’m sorry, but do they realize how popular this movie would be? Granted it would be a mega-budget movie, but I think the return on the investment from ticket sales, promotional items, toys, fast food branding, etc. If I were Bill Gates, I’d be funding this sucker myself and hiring some people to take the place of the studios.

How much you’d be willing to spend on making Halo if you were the movie studio head honchos? Let me know in the comments.
