Interview with Halo movie director

Aintitcool.com has posted an interview conducted by Quint with the director of the Halo movie, Neill Blomkamp.

Here's an excerpt:

"Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with an interview with Neill Blomkamp, who was announced yesterday as directing the HALO film. I'm pretty sure this is the first interview he's done about his plans for adapting the popular game to the big screen. The movie doesn't come out until 2008, so there's still lots of work being done and some specifics that couldn't be answered in the below interview, but I believe you'll get a good grasp on how Blomkamp is approaching the material."

I'm a huge fan of the HALO games and I'm not alone. HALO 2 grossed more than most movies. This one can be huge if pulled off correctly and Blomkamp is saying all the right things below. I greatly look forward to seeing what he can do! If you don't know the games at all, there might be some twists and turns spoiled below. Fair warning! Enjoy the interview!!!

Quint: First and foremost, are you a fan of the games?

Neill Blomkamp: From a purely game playing perspective I am a massive fan of the games, but more importantly, i'm a massive fan of the world and universe of Halo, the science fiction world that the games take place inside of.

Quint: Which do you prefer, HALO or HALO 2?

Neill Blomkamp: From a playing perspective I like both. But from a conceptual and story perspective I prefer Halo 1."
