Spielberg to Direct Halo Movie?

Not for the first time, director Stephen Spielberg has been linked to a Halo movie.

This time, a translated French press release is the source and states, "A film adaptation is set in 2012. It will be conducted jointly by two heavyweights of American cinema: Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks."

The news came in a French press kit for the new book Halo: Crytum. Spielberg was rumoured to be interested in making a Halo movie a year or so ago and Microsoft has also expressed interest in a film, so there could be an announcement imminent.This could just be a load of old merde or a major PR blunder from the French. Either way, we’ll keep you posted

Chella hails from the UK and joined Gameindustry.com around the year 2000. It was so many moons ago, she can't quite remember. Back then, the only women you saw in the games industry were in bikinis and vertiginous heels at trade shows - oh how times have changed, kind of. Chella started as a humble reviewer, but soon became our European Correspondent and keeps us on top of industry happenings across the Pond. She tends to like the weird Japanese games we've never heard of, so that's good for making us look all-encompassing and stuff. Chella does like games, so don't be fooled by the copious amount of columns devoted to bemoaning the lack of variety in the industry. When she's not surfing (the sea, not the internet) or camping up mountains, Chella likes a good action RPG (especially if it's sci-fi), anything with a good narrative and like we said, the weirder the better. She's also a regular in the GiN Lounge, but that's just because we like her accent.
