What Happened To The "Halo" Movie?

The Halo movie seemed perfect—a sci-fi alien flick with exotic locations, an iconic main character, a fanbase of millions, etc. Yet it never did see the light of day, despite years of speculation and rumors. Neill Blomkamp's version of it got canned and many design elements made it into District 9 (a good film in its own rights) instead. Rupert Sanders made a gorgeous, cinematic trailer for Halo 3: ODST, but a trailer is all it ever was. By Michael Rougeau Story
