There has been loads of speculation recently about Microsoft's Halo movie. Well IESB has gotten some interesting quotes regarding the development of this popular movie.
From iesb.net, here are the exact quotes:
Responding to questions we had over the Spielberg rumor (and indeed the future of the movie itself), a Microsoft spokesperson told Kotaku:
"We're glad there's still a lot of enthusiasm in the entertainment industry surrounding the idea of a Halo movie. That said, the Halo feature film remains on hold as we focus on projects like Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach.
Upon further questioning, Microsoft added that they had "nothing further to share with respect to plans regarding a Halo movie".
Microsoft can say what it wants about only focusing on the development of the next installment of the Halo video game, because that's their job. That's what Microsoft is suppose to do. It is not Microsoft's job to develop the movie, that would be Spielberg's job. If the Spielberg rumor is true, then we can expect to see a Halo movie with in four years or so. Microsoft's none comment is a non-issue for me as they develop operating systems and video games not movies.
