Oscar-winning film director Peter Jackson and his team will produce the forthcoming film based on popular video game Halo.
The director, who is reported to be an avid fan of Halo, will use his Weta production facilities in Wellington, New Zealand where the film will also be shot.
Alex Garland, author of popular novel The Beach, has written the script.
A director and cast are expected to be named in coming weeks.

I've never ever seen Halo, let alone played it, but I know it has many fans.
Instead, I'm a huge Peter Jackson fan and am always interested to hear what he's up to and I can't help but feel pleased to see that this is also going to shot in New Zealand. Of course, he's acting as executive producer but this may help guarantee some form of quality control — to be fair, movies based on game adaptations haven't had a stunning track record.
