Out the Door?
After Fox and Universal pulled out of the Halo Movie project (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."[1]
Neill Blomkamp's first movie District 9 which will be released on August 14, 2009 will be a test for the new director. The production agencies will be watching this movie to determine if Blomkamp is the right choice for a high-profile project like Halo.
