According to an official news release, Universal & Fox have
announced that Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh will serve as executive producers for the upcoming Halo
feature film. The duo grabbed three
Academy Awards for the LOTR movies and is currently wrapping up work on the King Kong remake. This
marks the first time that Jackson and Walsh will be working together on a project that Jackson is not directing.
Halo will be shot in Wellington, New Zealand with production and post-production duties being handled by Jackson's Weta Digital Ltd., Weta Workshop Ltd., Stone Street Studios, and Park Road Post. Jackson commented, "As a gaming fan, I'm excited to bring Halo's premise, action, and settings to the screen with all the specificity and reality today's technology can provide." The director for this project will be announced shortly.
