Wasn't this about the proposed movie Halo that has since been canceled?

You're not talking about the game, right?

A film adaptation of the video game Halo was set up at Fox some time ago. Less than a year after they had planned to co-produce the film with Universal, the deal fell apart. Well, according to Variety, 20th Century Fox has signed a new deal, making it once again the primary license holder for the Halo franchise.

This means that Fox has the worldwide merchandising rights to the video game on behalf of Microsoft, the company that created the property. Fox plans on launching a wide array of new Halo merchandise. In the works are books, clothing, collectables, and action figures. The merchandise will appear in conjunction with the Halo 3 video game that is being released this September.

There is no set date on when the film will go into production, but speculation sees the Halo 4 video game hitting shelves before that happens.

Fox taking a shine to 'Halo' Studio signs deal to become primary licensor
By BEN FRITZ

'Halo'
'Halo'
Fox is back in the "Halo" business.

Less than a year after its plans to co-produce with Universal a movie based on Microsoft's hit videogame franchise were abruptly canceled, 20th Century Fox has signed a deal to become the primary licensor for "Halo."

That means the studio will handle worldwide merchandise licensing for "Halo" on behalf of the tech giant.

Though the unsuccessful film development helped bring the two companies closer together, Fox's licensing division has a longer relationship with Microsoft. It handled similar duties for "Perfect Dark Zero" and "Kameo: Elements of Power," two Microsoft-published games that came out in late 2005 in conjunction with the launch of the Xbox 360.

"Those two games established our relationship with them as a licensing agency, and those conversations continued during the same time that a 'Halo' film was in development here," said Elie Dekel, exec VP of domestic licensing for Fox.

He added that Fox's licensing division focuses primarily on teens and young adults instead of kids, as some other studios do, which makes "Halo" a good fit.

Fox is aiming to launch a broad array of products, from books to apparel to collectible merchandise, in conjunction with the release of "Halo 3" in September. But given the huge popularity of the vidgame series, Dekel said he's confident his division can continue to sell licensed products in the next few years until a fourth "Halo" game comes out.

"Halo" is one of the videogame industry's most popular franchises. Original game and "Halo 2" have sold more than 14.5 million units.

Fox is already in various stages of discussion with several dozen licenses and will be talking to potential partners at this week's Toy Fair in Gotham.

Halo the movie. Now that Fox has it, maybe they'll give the movie to Uwe Boll or someone like him.

Then it will suck so bad, that people who watch it will want to burn the theater for showing such crap.

Just because Fox is getting the MERCHANDISING license for Halo "the MOVIE", does not mean you'll ever see is reach the Playstation. That would be like saying Gran Turismo is on 360. Which also will never happen.

Shin-Ra · 06-27-2007, 03:07 PM

Since when have Universal obtained the rights to a Gran Turismo movie?

the movie would go to DVD ANYWAY thus it could still be played on the playstation 3...

Uwe Boll is unlikely to make many more movies now that the german tax loophole is closed

Animusmors · 06-27-2007, 10:38 PM

I'm glad that German tax loophole is closed. Uwe Boll should not go near a camera. I can't wait for the Halo movie, now that i know it's coming out on Blu-Ray. Apperently Weta workshop has built a full sized Warthog already.
