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 Neal Blomkamp directing the picture. However, Peter Jackson's rep, Ken Kamins stated that "Everybody is supremely confident in Neal, Part of what excited Peter and Fran was Neal's vision. We're very confident this film will move forward with the creative partners intact, who will take the film to production."[1]
