In this week’s Bungie update there has been posted a second full size, fully functioning Warthog picture. This time with it’s suspension raised and with a human, armour clad gunner on the turret.

And this is what they had to say about the upcoming Blomkamp short:

“The above image shows just how to scale the Warthog that WETA has been making is – that’s a real life human manning the gun. While there’s still not too much to talk about regarding the excellent work of Neill Blomkamp, the studio did get a sneak peak of his next short earlier this week. It prompted a number of “Wait, was that a…” and “ZOMGz” from the various folks around here, and needless to say, when it surfaces next, you’re in for a gritty and delightful treat.”

Looking forward to the next live action short. I am sure it will make us all salivate a little more about how great a feature length Halo movie would be.
