Wingnut Films press release.  AICN says so!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This sucks. I'll tell you why I think so in a minute. Here's the depressing press release from Wingnut Films, mere minutes old:

As was previously confirmed, we deeply regret that both Universal and Fox did not choose to move forward with financing the Halo film under the original terms of the agreement. At this time Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, along with their partner, Microsoft, have mutually agreed to postpone making a feature film based on the Halo video game universe until we can fulfill the promise we made to millions of Halo fans throughout the world that we would settle for no less than bringing a first class film to the big screen. We are fully supportive of Director Neill Blomkamp's vision of the film. Neill is a tremendously gifted filmmaker and his preliminary work on Halo is truly awe-inspiring. While it will undoubtedly take a little longer for Halo to reach the big screen, we are confident that the final feature film will be well worth the wait.

Goodbye, Halo!

Goodbye, Halo. Hello , RING WORLD!

By the time a Halo film hits the big screen, the series will have declined to the point where nobody will care.

Ain't it cool news

[The Fake Shemp]

Dude, it's a press release from Wingnut Films.

[Vizzys]

I hate them is all.

[Polari]

They were never going to make their money back on it anyway.

[ToxicAdam]

Halo movie could be made for less than 80 million. PJ probably wanted to spend double that.

[The Fake Shemp]

Guillermo Del Toro could've done it for $80 million.

[Polari]

Outsource it to Russia. Nightwatch had amazing production values and only cost $5 million. It's a shame everything aside from the production values sucked, but still.

[Polari]

White Man or Drinky, tell Bill about RUSSIA.

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

Hooray!
