Peter Jackson has been recruited to produce the big screen version of Halo. While it is a popular game and single-handedly catapulted the Xbox into must own territory - few, if any, games have translated well to the movies. They often contain cheesy acting, lame plots, b-movie actors, and often don’t resemble the game in question. But Peter Jackson, having successfully directed the Lord of the Rings movies, could change all that.

Peter Jackson is a avid fan of the Halo series, and says he cannot wait to work on the movie. And if he shows commitment to this movie as he did to LOTR, I think we will all be in for a real treat.

Of course, I would just be happy if he would make The Hobbit.
