Ain’t It Cool News

This can be filed in the “Still a rumor” category. But AICN has an elaborate network of spies, and i have found them to be about 90% reliable.

So they are saying that Peter Jackson, and WETA have been pursuing Guillermo del Toro to make Halo. You may know him from such movies as The Devil’s Backbone, and Hellboy. Surley these are no “crazy blockbusters” but anyone who can bring the bizzare world of Hellboy to the screen, and have it not look totally laughable, deserves some credit.

I think he has the art style, and the cinemtographic chops to pull it out.

Now, they do say this could all fall through if del Toro’s schedule on Hellboy 2 conflicts too much, but it seems like PJ and Weta are willing to move the Halo schedule to make this work. Cool, sounds like they are not sacrificing talent to meet some dart board date.
