Good news for Halo fans. The movie adaptation will be produced by legendary filmmakers Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh (Lord of the Rings, Dead Alive, Heavenly Creatures). Alas, Jackson will not direct, but apparently neither will videogame hack adapter Uwe Boll, as previously rumored. Principal photography and special effects will be done in Jackson's home base of New Zealand (big surprise!), and the finished film is slated for summer 2007 release... Oh, and the latest Halo guessing game is figuring out which character from the Halo-verse will crossover into Dead or Alive 4. That's right, Bungie's confirmed that one of their creations will be an unlockable fighter, but they're not saying much else except that it's not Master Chief. Cortana might have the right, er, stuff if she weren't a holographic AI. Or maybe it's the Arbiter in a tangerine speedo. Time will tell...
