Peter Jackson sez… Halo 3 may help Halo film!

by JW

Peter Jackson is, some say, a great filmmaker. I won’t deny that his treatment of King Kong was his best work since The Frighteners (one of my top five favorite films). So, when he was attached to produce the on-screen adaptation of Halo, many fanboys were overjoyed! Even when Jackson chose unknown director Neill Blomkamp, we all took a deep breath, and hoped for the best.

…then Universal put the film on hiatus. Millions wept.

Well, in an interview with New Zealand magazine Onfilm, Jackson stated that he hopes that the release, and surrounding hype surrounding Halo 3 will spur interest in rekindling the film. When asked if he would return to produce, he said that he’d return only if Blomkamp was attached to direct.

We wouldn’t want to do it with anybody else. It’ll be Neill’s call.
