South Africa’s Neill Blomkamp previously created 3 Halo shorts which have now all been put together and show a different view of Master Chief coming to save us all….
It really is a pity that Neill was never given the green light to make an official movie.
I feel his movies give a nice realism to Halo and I am sure he could have done some amazing things if he had been given the go ahead and the budget…. Either way you made us all proud Neill, well done…

If you’ve never seen the short for imaginary companie “Tetra Vaal”. Search tetra vaal on you tube. It’s a robocop/taxi violence scenario.

Have no fear, the movie is still in development:

Microsoft knows it’ll sell, it’s got all the skills it needs at WETA and it could easily finance it independently. Knowing that they’re probably just looking for a distributor and playing hardball with the numbers because they can.
Here’s an evil thought… what if they release it on XBLVM and theatre simultaneously? They could blow the whole movie market onto it’s ear.
Okay I’m totally derailing, but I always thought that’d be the way to win the “HD” war – true “Home Theatre”. Release the the HDDVD or BR near simultaneously with the theatre release. It’d justify the $30 premium for sure.
