Since Comic-Con, news that Neill Blomkamp and Peter Jackson had plans to bring Master Chief to the big screen sparked a little bit of attention around movie goers and gamers alike. However, than there’s the fact that Stuart Beattie, who worked on the recently released G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra movie – also a huge Halo fan – had possession of  a Halo movie script.

But, with G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra already finished, Stuart has put the Halo script on the market, and it has already has sparked interest in someone who isn’t Jerry Bruckheimer or Peter Jackson. According to IESB, Steven Spielberg is in negotiations for the movie:

“Spielberg is blown away by writer Stuart Beattie’s take on the game in his script entitled HALO THE FALL OF REACH. This coupled with the fact that his Dreamworks umbrella is looking for a big tent pole to help launch their newly independent studio with distribution over at Walt Disney Pictures after losing Transformers to Paramount in the separation, it’s the perfect combination.”

It’s good to know that the movie is still alive and getting attention, while I may not approve of Speilberg doing the movie over Peter Jackson, it’s good to know that the movie is still wanted by big name movie producers such as himself. Could we finally see Halo in 2011-12? Only time will tell.
