move this into the actual halo thread if you want, figured it was exciting enough news to warrant it's own thread.
edit: ok, it's been verified by aicn/comingsoon/AND chud. he was first reported as being the DIRECTOR, which was the part that was UNTRUE....but he IS 100% PRODUCING the project and using his entire crew of available badasses(read: Weta).
I went from saying "BULLSHIT!" upon seeing this thread to saying "HOLY SHIT!".
Having Peter Jackson involved with this should guarantee that it wont be a stinker.
Good news. Maybe this movie won't suck! Hmm...the possibilities...
It guarantee's you that the Flood will be done justice in a scary way and that the covenant won't look absolutely ridiculous because of WETA. I'll wait to see who they name in the directors seat and which big hollywood celebs they attach to the script before crucial judgement is made on my part.Quote:

Just get one big name and some other smaller, good support characters. I'm sure a lot of people want to be in a movie Jackson's attached to. King Kong looks absolutely fantastic.Quote:

A producers level of involvement varies greatly, so its hard to say what this means exactly, but this is undeniably good news that someone as talented as Peter Jackson is involved.
Halo Script Review
Who knows if this is real, and I'm not going to find out since I don't want anything spoiled. I read about 3 paragraphs in and stopped. Sounds good but I'm skeptical that they actually got a hold of the real script.
According to people that actually follow this stuff, the site that claims they have the script is very reliable. Chances are that it's legitimate.
