{{BigQuote|'''How faithful do you plan on staying to the design of Master Chief's armor?'''

Neill Blomkamp: Master Chief is certainly something that I do not want to change too much at all, there are certain things inside the Halo universe that are sacred and he's the main one.
Having said that, there is a need to revise certain parts of him, just from a purely technical standpoint, he has to actually be able to move, like a human, and the game design right now does not allow for full motion freedom, which we will have to achieve.<br /><br />
'''Quint: Guy in a suit? CGI creation? Mixture of both?'''

Neill Blomkamp: Well, the film has to have a feeling of reality, and so that means that I want to keep him real as much as I can, there is a necessity for him to become cg in sequences where a guy in a suit would just not work, but for the most part I am aiming for real.<ref>[http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=24139 aintitcool.com August 10, 2006 Interview]</ref>}}

== Out the Door? ==

After Fox and Universal pulled out of the Halo Movie project ([[Halo_Movie#Timeline|See Halo Movie Timeline]]), many speculated that the two studios were nervous about having first-time feature director Neill Blomkamp directing the picture. However, Peter Jackson's representative, Ken Kamins stated that "Everybody is supremely confident in Neill, part of what excited Peter and Fran was Neill's vision. We're very confident this film will move forward with the creative partners intact, who will take the film to production."<ref>http://movies.ign.com/articles/740/740704p1.html</ref>


== The Truth About The Movie==
Neil Bloomkamp is the new director of the Halo movie. [[Peter Jackson]] decided to go into game making with his new [[Wingnut Interactive]] and make the upcoming game Halo Chronicles. [[Peter Jackson]] and his partner [[Fran Walsh]] will instead be executive producers. Halo Chronicles is set to be released sometime in December.

Some say that the movie won't be as good with Neil Bloomkamp directing it, it may cause people to not go and see the movie. Neil Bloomkamp is a good director, don't let this change cause you to not see the movie. Sure [[Peter Jackson]] may be a better choice but give Neil Bloomkamp his moment in the spotlight.
