Director Steven Spielberg Courting The Halo Franchise?

Could the mind behind Jurassic Park, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T tackle the Halo universe on the big screen? According to the New York Magazine director Steven Spielberg and production company Dreamworks SKG could be seeking the rights to the Halo Franchise.

Spelberg wouldn’t be the first big director to tackle the transition of the Halo franchise to the silver screen. Neil Blompkamp and Peter Jackson attempted to put the game to film with little success. Eventually the project fell apart after only a few live action shorts promoting Halo 3 were produced.

If the report from the New York Magazine is to be believed than Dreamworks is interested in building a movie around the scenarios and cannon established in the Halo novels. No comments have been made by any of the parties involved with this potential Halo film.
