Yes. The Peter Jackson, Executive Producing the Halo film.
Needless to say I and the rest of Bungie are positively incontinent (Marty especially). But what really knocks us on our asses is we’re also getting the combined talent of the mighty men and women of WETA in the bargain. From fabricating Covenant weapons to building life-sized Forerunner structures to accomplishing shot after shot of complex live-action/CG integration – simply put, there’s no group of people we’d rather have realize the Halo universe on screen.
Indeed, I don’t think there’s another group that even could.

F'in LAME http://www.bungie.net/news=&2interview/pet...rilla=4706521 (http://www.wtv-zone.com/coolmom/animals/friends/bunny/kidding.jpg)

Hollywood and the gaming industry don't mix, ever.

Well, if they stick with the deal of never showing his face, they can pull a darth vader and have whoever-the-hell inside the suit, with a voiceover.

Haha, they should just get the original voice actor.

Maybe it will be a good VG movie, who knows? I haven't seen one to date, but this could be it. The Bungie post gives some good impressions. I don't think it could be all that bad, as long as they don't try to do the following:
1. Cheesy action scenes.
2. Romance.
3. Other bad action movie clichés.
