SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. has signed a deal with two film studios to make a movie based on its popular space-based video game series "Halo," a spokesman for Universal Pictures said on Wednesday. Universal and Twentieth Century Fox agreed to pay Microsoft $5 million plus a percentage of ticket sales. The total price being paid is capped at 10 percent of the domestic box office. The deal ends months of speculation over which studio would win the right to make a "Halo" film, which came to Hollywood last spring highly-touted by Microsoft and its representatives at Creative Artists Agency. Messengers delivered a script to the studios wearing costumes and toting laser guns. |

| #2 IMO Blade Runner is a "Cult movie"; I don't know how many times I watched it and I can't get tired of it. Said that I don't know if Halo could become an good movie, maybe yes or maybe not. Surely it will not be a cult movie, at least not here :-). |

#4,
I wish they would re-master the transfer, and fix the Audio. It's a crying shame in it's current DVD edition, even the Directors Cut. BTW... Where is ActiveDVD ? TL This post was edited by TechLarry on Thursday, August 25, 2005 at 13:02. |

| #2 I couldn't agree with you more. I am a huge fan of Halo but I can't see (based on past efforts) that this movie will be an different. When will they learn these kinds of movies don't work. You are better off playing the game. |
