This might all turn out to be some kind of hilarious misunderstanding \/ mistranslation \/ misdemeanour, but according to a French press release accompanying the latest Halo novel, Cryptum, there’s a Halo movie in production over at DreamWorks, directed by Steven Spielberg, and due out in 2012.<\/p>\n
The news comes through the rather convoluted channel of Halo.fr<\/a>, who originally posted a scan of the press kit, which was then translated by the people over on Halo.Bungie.org<\/a>, and passed onto the entire internet via NeoGAF<\/a>.<\/p>\n “A film adaptation is set [for release] in 2012,” reads the text. “It will be conducted jointly by two heavyweights of American cinema: Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks.”<\/p>\n It’s not the first time Spielberg’s been associated with a Halo film either – back in October last year, industry spies reported<\/a> that DreamWorks (co-owned by Spielberg) was shopping around for the relevant licences.<\/p>\n For the moment, of course, nobody at 343 Industries or Microsoft is saying anything about it.<\/p>\n
