The Return Of The Halo of King Kong!

According to reports (see G4's The Feed, GameSpot, IGN and JoyStiq) Peter Jackson (the Director who gave us The Frighteners, The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, and most recently King Kong) is working with Microsoft & Bungie Studios (the makers of HALO) to help produce the "Next Chapter" in the HALO game series!

It's not HALO 3 (that's already pretty much done), it's not HALO WARS (the forthcoming Real-Time Strategy game headed for the X-Box360, that's also already underway), it's something "new" in the HALO story.

HALO: Combat Evolved, HALO 2 & HALO 3 are all one big story, this is not exactly HALO 4 since the HALO story we know so far has been confirmed to end (by Bungie) with HALO 3.

This WILL BE HALO,but it's a whole new story - and Peter Jackson is helping to write/produce it!

How awesome is that?!

I am a H U G E HALO fan, I can (yes, CAN) wait for HALO 3 because it'll be on the X-Box360 only and I don't have one and can't afford one in my wildest dreams, so someday, maybe I'll meet someone who has a 360 and be able to get a few minutes with HALO 3 when it finally comes out...who knows?!?

HALO WARS will also only be available on the 360...so same story there.

So in the meantime I'm confined to HALO & HALO 2 (I haven't yet gotten tired of either of them), but I forsee one day being excited when HALO 4 (or whatever name it eventually takes) makes it's debut to see if Jackson did it right (I'm confident he will do great things with the franchise).

Oh, and Jackson's also the Executive Producer for the forthcoming HALO movie...so you know he has a vested interest in the HALO franchise!
