This is a reblog of an article from IGN, by\u00a0Scott Collura.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been hearing rumors about a potential\u00a0Halo<\/a>\u00a0movie for the past decade, with Alien and Blade Runner director Ridley Scott\u2019s name being associated with the project as far back as 2004 and\u00a0as recently as this past January<\/a>. And now it looks like the rumors are becoming a reality\u2026 sort of.<\/p>\n

According to Microsoft, a \u201cdigital feature project\u201d based on the Halo game series is in fact in the works from 343 Industries, Xbox Entertainment Studios, and Ridley Scott\u2019s Scott Free Productions. The feature will be released later this year and will be executive produced by Scott and Scott Free TV President\u00a0David Zucker<\/a>. Sergio Mimica-Gezzan (Battlestar Galactica, Heroes) will direct the feature.<\/p>\n

Now, what is a \u201cdigital feature project\u201d rather than a film, you might be wondering? It\u2019s all a bit vague right now, but it seems likely that this is not something that will get a theatrical release.\u00a0The Wrap<\/a>\u00a0is reporting that the project is expected to follow the same format as Machinima’s Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, which obviously was delivered on the web.<\/p>\n

HFFL:<\/strong> Okay, this is pretty cool. Though I know many of we fans would really love to see an actual Halo movie in theaters. Still, Forward Unto Dawn<\/em> was a fantastic web series.<\/span><\/p>\n

The site adds that the story will follow a \u201csurgically-enhanced super soldier who isnot<\/em>\u00a0Master Chief\u201d and that Prison Break creator\u00a0Paul Scheuring<\/a>\u00a0may write the digital feature.<\/p>\n

HFFL:<\/strong> Hmm, Not Master Chief? Okay, I’m still sticking with Spartan Gabriel Thorne here. He’s now become fire team Majestic’s team leader. If not him, then maybe Commander Palmer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, Microsoft points out that this is \u201ccompletely separate from the premium Halo television series executive produced by Steven Spielberg, which is still on track.\u201d Back in January\u00a0we\u2019d heard<\/a>\u00a0that District 9\u2019s\u00a0Neill Blomkamp<\/a>\u00a0was directing the pilot for that project. Further confusing matters, Blomkamp had also worked on a now-defunct feature film version of Halo a few years back\u2026<\/p>\n

HFFL:<\/strong> Okay, so we’re getting a TV series AND a web series? I’m all for that! More Halo!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

It should also be noted that Mimica-Gezzan is a Spielberg collaborator, having served as first assistant director on many of his films. So there are a lot of big names in the mix here, but not many details yet.<\/p>\n
