Universal and Twentieth Century Fox have agreed to pay Software Giant Microsoft Corp, $5 million plus a percentage of ticket sales to make a movie based on Microsoft's popular space-based video game series "Halo."
The deal ends months of speculation over which studio would win the right to make a "Halo" film.
Universal spokesman Paul Pflug said the studios are aiming for a summer 2007 release of a movie based on "Halo" and "Halo 2," a science fiction series about an alien-fighting warrior named Master Chief.
Under terms of the final agreement, Universal will oversee the film's production and domestic distribution, while Fox will handle international distribution.
