Halo Movie Gets Director, Release Date




Posted by Christopher Sasaki Categories: Bungie, Culture,

Microsoft today announced that a director and an anticipated release date have been selected for the Halo movie. According to a report on Xbox.com, Neill Blomkamp will make his feature film debut with the movie, currently targeted for a release in Summer 2008. Peter Jackson had previously been announced as producer, and his effects studios, Weta Digital and Weta Workshop will provide the special effects for the movie. Blomkamp’s previous experience has been in commercial and short films, a couple of which gamers might be familiar with. Both Blomkamp’s Citroen transformer advertisement and the Tetra Vaal clip featuring a robotic law officer were popular viral videos. His short film, Alive in Joberg, shown above, takes his previous work to the next level. This type of effects integration and imagery should give gamers an idea of what to expect from the big budget Halo adaptation in 2008.

Impressive vid and seems like an excellent choice for director. Makes me want to watch a full length movie right now, based on the above short.
