Halo To Be Directed By Some Guy
August 10, 2006 Comments
After months of speculation as to what director would sink their teeth into the big screen adaptation of the hugely-popular (among dudes and nerds) game franchise, Halo, a name has finally been given: Neill Blomkamp?
Neill Blomkamp has nabbed the job of directing "Halo," Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox's big-screen adaptation of the video game series. The games follow a character named Master Chief and his companion Cortana as they try to save the galaxy from alien forces called the Flood.
The news was bigger to some people than others. In particular, the day manager at Old Country Buffet, who now needs to find someone else to slice the roast with Neill leaving. And probably Uwe Boll, who must be thrilled that someone else is likely to make as terrible of a video game movie as him.
