Halo Movie Coming, “We’ll Even Fund It Ourselves”, Says Microsoft

The long delayed Halo movie may finally make it to the silver screen. Microsoft says that there is a high possibility the Halo movie will “get real” in the future.

“There will be a Halo movie,” Microsoft’s Frank O’Connor told New York Videogame Critics Circle.

“Everyone wanted to do a Halo movie, the director, Microsoft, the highest placed people at movie companies,” he added.

So, what took them so long?

“It was the lawyers. When they went behind closed doors with the contracts, things fell apart. The problem was that the movie company couldn’t make any money beyond the movie,” O’Connor explained, referring to the fact that Microsoft would continue to hold the keys to everything Halo aside from movie rights.

Microsoft is determined to bring Halo to the big screen and fund it themselves if need be.

“There will be a Halo movie. We don’t need a movie. But we’d like a movie. We’d like the moms of gamers to see the movies because they would love our characters. Maybe we’ll even fund it ourselves.”
