As if the first game was not popular enough, Microsoft released a second game in this apparent series: Halo 2. The even higher popularity of this sequal has apparently made the splash necessary to catch the attention of movie makers.[[image:peter_jackson.jpg:(thumbnail):center:1]]
Bungie reported in an article that Peter Jackson, the acclaimed director of the Lord of the Rings movies will be executively producing the new Halo movie. This has many people quite happy as the same creative staff who made the Lord of the Rings movies come alive will also be working on the Halo project.
