Peter Jackson to produce 'Halo' movie

The Oscar-winning creative team behind the "The Lord of the Rings" films, including director Peter Jackson, has been named to run the production of the upcoming film based on Microsoft's blockbuster "Halo" video game reports ZDnet.

The move marks the first time Peter Jackson and his wife, Fran Walsh -- currently in post-production on Universal's King Kong, set for release in December -- have acted as executive producers on a major film that Jackson is not directing reports nzherald.co.nz

"As a gaming fan, I'm excited to bring Halo's premise, action and settings to the screen with all the specificity and reality today's technology can provide," said Jackson.

The executive producers would collaborate with Microsoft's Bungie Studios, which created the game for Microsoft's Xbox game console.

"Halo" will be shot in Wellington, New Zealand, and will use Jackson's production and postproduction facilities there.

"Halo," is targeted for worldwide release in mid-2007 by Universal Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox film studios.
