Ah…1992…It was a great year! Cartoons used to play on Saturday morning, Sharon Stone was making all of us want to go watch Basic Instinct, Salt N Pepa had us Talking about sex while Sinead O’Connor was on SNL ripping up pictures of the Pope, Seinfield was having a Contest, the Alabama Crimson Tide was on a National Championship run, and most of us gamers were plastered to our computer chairs with our Arizona Tea kicking back waiting for our MS-DOS system to fire up so we could shoot some Nazis in Wolfenstein 3d. For those of you that just read that last sentence and thought, “Wow, that was 17 years ago?” I am sorry for the reality check, but hopefully it will help prove my point. (continue reading…)

IESB reports that Steven Spielberg is actively pursuing the Halo movie as a producer.

Reportedy, Spielberg was “blown away” by the latest screenplay by Stuart Beattie, who based his story on the tie-in novel Halo: The Fall of Reach by Eric Nyland.

No word on whether producer Peter Jackson — who was previously attached to a different iteration of the Halo franchise — is still involved.  Jackson had hand-picked director Neill Blomkamp for the film before it fell apart due to budget concerns and worries over having an untested filmmaker at the helm.

Blomkamp’s District 9 is due to open this week, however, and advance word has been pretty spectacular.  Since the two titans are currently working together on the Tintin movies, I’m going to speculate that if Jackson still has ANY interest in Halo, Spielberg will likely be bringing both he and Blomkamp into the fold.

Having read The Fall of Reach, I can definitely say that I would have less room in my underpants over the notion of a movie version of it produced by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson … especially if Blomkamp directs and District 9 is as good as early reviews indicate.

First, watch this, the full trailer for director Neill Blomkamp’s District 9:

Then, amuse yourself by thinking about the various studio executives who are –  probably right at this very moment — weeping in bathrooms, hoping nobody will walk in and catch them shedding tear over having scuttled Blomkamp’s Halo movie for fear that the director was an unproven quantity.

Well, if that trailer is any standard of measure, it looks like producer Peter Jackson was right all along (big surprise): Blomkamp was, in fact, the dude that project needed.
