Master Chief Of The Rings


Look what I found while trolling the net:
Director Peter Jackson is turning his favorite video game Halo into a feature-length film. The Oscar-winning director grew addicted to Halo while shooting his latest film King Kong, so he jumped at the chance to snap up the movie rights and take it to the big screen.
Halo is a game that has sold over five million copies around the world and charts the adventures of futuristic super-soldier Master Chief in his quest to save mankind from aliens.
A cast has yet to be announced for the project and it’s also unknown if Jackson will direct as well.
Bungie, the Microsoft-owned business which developed Halo says, “We’re delighted to have someone who’s as committed to the Halo universe as Peter Jackson was to Tolkien’s Middle-Earth.”

If they do as good a job with Halo as the did with The Lord Of The Rings this movie will kick major ass.
