Microsoft are adament that they want
Halo to go to the big screen even though Fox and Universal Pictures pulled out, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
"We are disappointed that Universal and Fox wanted to significantly renegotiate the financial points of the deal," the company said in a statement. "But the 'Halo' franchise is hugely popular and our goal remains the same -- to find a partner that shares our passion and will creatively collaborate with us to best represent the story and spirit of the 'Halo' franchise.
"Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and the rest of the creative team are dedicated to ensuring the "Halo" movie becomes a reality. We are already in discussions with potential partners who recognize the value of the 'Halo' brand and its appeal to consumers worldwide.
