In what seems like a perfect fit, LORD OF THE RINGS masterminds Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh have signed on to develop HALO for Universal and 20th Century Fox. They won’t be directing or writing, but via their Wingnut Films will be providing creative input on all stages of the production. Jackson’s WETA effects companies will provide visual effects for the film. This is the first time Jackson and Walsh have provided these creative services on a film that Jackson isn’t personally directing. As far as I’m concerned it sounds like a good move, expecially if the studios want to ensure this isn’t just another lame videogame movie. However, I’m still waiting to hear news on Wingnut’s live-action version of NEON GENESIS EVANGELION.
