Vulture:
The halting, years-long effort to turn Microsoft’s $2 billion Halo video-game franchise into a movie is again moving forward: Insiders tell Vulture that DreamWorks Pictures is renewing its efforts to obtain the rights and revive the project, which has been in a state of suspended animation since late 2006. It's obvious why this property seems even more valuable now. Halo: Reach grossed $200 million on its very first day in release last month, making it 2010's best-selling game. But after Fox and Universal already dumped millions of dollars into developing the project only to come up with nothing, why does DreamWorks seem so intent on trying, and how will they steal away with this franchise without getting sucked into the other two studios' money pit?
Does the ultra-violent new movie, Boy Kills World, glorify violence or encourage a world without it? We see the latter.

I seriously doubt Spielberg would do a Halo movie. Not saying he's above it, but come on...could gamer fans really get that lucky? Besides he's got a lot of other things on his plate right now.
I think basing a movie off of the books might be good, and could help explore other characters. I still see Fox and Universal throwing a fit over it though, mostly because they still can't get their act together. Overall, I just don't care to see this come to the big screen.
