Halo Movie Slated For 2007

Master Chief is slated to come to the silver screen...in 2007. Gamespot reports that Fox and Microsoft have come to an agreement. From the article: "However, negotiating a movie deal proved as challenging as taking down a Covenant dropship, as several studios surprisingly passed on producing a Halo movie. The reason: film studios may be used to kowtowing to A-list actors' demands, but don't typically cave in to requests from non-Hollywood players. Initial reports saw the software giant asking for $10 million against 15 percent of the gross (whichever is higher), a below-the-line budget of $75 million (budget before hiring actors and crew), near-immediate production of the movie, and a large say in the creative development of the movie." Update: 08/23 20:59 GMT by Z : Fixed time travel problem.

    Can someone inform me when Microsoft / Bungie are travelling back in time, so I know when to go to Blockbuster and borrow the DVD that'll be out by now in the new timeline. :-)

    Can't you just picture him as Halo's Master Chef?

    Yes, yes I could. I would like him to make us all a nice quiche.
