If you haven't figured it out by now, this "article" was an April Fool's day joke. Psyche!
Long has this film been held in limbo. Directing titans Peter Jackson and even Steven Spielberg have shown interest in helming this movie. Alas, it would appear that the director of this film has decided to add a little more culture than most would want in Halo.
I'm taking a wild guess and am going to say that the developers of this film are not going by the Halo novel continuity.
Ah well...........
Happy April Fool's everone and a huge thanks to IGN for the vid!!!!
