Peter Jackson Does Interactive Halo Series
When asked if Bungie already has a post-Halo 3 project in line, the Microsoft Game Studios boss told GameSpy: "Oh yeah. Bungie has their plans well mapped out. You have to, when you have a studio like that, and you need to know what you're moving your people on to. So they have the collaboration with Peter Jackson on the interactive series. "I'm not sure about the specifics. They'll be done with Halo 3 this year, but we haven't announced any dates on the Halo 3 series." Bloody hell. So what happened to Jackon's "interactive" game project? It never was clear what exactly the Lord of the Rings director was working on with Halo, so perhaps the project was scaled back to a straight-forward animated series based around Halo 3 or maybe Kim isn't telling us the full story... Frankly, we're more than happy with the interactive series. We've already worn out the Thundercats DVD and a Halo cartoon is a guaranteed formula for success; iconic hero, religious baddies, sci-fi battlegrounds and laser swords. Wait, haven't we seen that film before?!Source: http://www.computerandvideogames.com
