Peter Jack­son will be mak­ing the rounds in the com­ing weeks as he attempts to pro­mote his new film King Kong. This in turn pro­vides the oppor­tu­nity to ask him about his views and aims for the Halo film. Dark Hori­zons has done just that, whilst there’s noth­ing par­tic­u­larly new it’s always nice to hear Jack­son talk­ing about Halo:

“Ques­tion: You’re still pro­duc­ing Halo?
Jack­son: Yeah.
Ques­tion: What attracted you to Halo?
Jack­son: I’m a fan of the game.
Ques­tion: But video game movies suck.
Jack­son: They do.
Ques­tion: So what will be dif­fer­ent?
Jack­son: Hope­fully it won’t suck.
Ques­tion: But why not direct?
Jack­son: I want a break. I want to have the fun but not the hard work. I just want to be part of the cre­ative team but not actu­ally have the pain.
Ques­tion: Is there a direc­tor?
Jack­son: Not yet, no. We’re talk­ing to some peo­ple but we’re going to be shoot­ing that next year.”
