Peter Jackson, and the Oscar-winning creative team behind the The Lord of the Rings, have been named to run production of the upcoming Halo film, Microsoft said. Peter Jackson and his wife, Fran Walsh, will serve as the executive producers for Halo, which Universal Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox plan to release worldwide in mid-2007. “I’m a huge fan of the game and look forward to helping it come alive on the cinema screen,” Jackson said in a statement.
