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.

    What the hell do slashdot editors do? Do they have a button that says randomly select worst article and click it? Not only is this old news (it's been listed on IMDB for months as 2007), it's incredibly pointless. I'm a great fan of Halo, and I'm glad they're taking their time with this movie.

    I'm also a fan of slashdot and it's a shame to see stupid editors on the team.

    I'll subscribe to Slashdot when I see a month without a dupe, a typo, or an article the "editors" didn't read.

    Troll? It was a joke for fuck's sake!

    There weren't any posts when I made it either, it's not my fault if ahlf a dozen other people decided to make similar (but inferior, in my opinion) jokes at the same time.

    Didn't the :-) give you a clue?

    Now this really is a Troll, or Flamebait, or just an angry person at keyboard.
