Alex Garland gets his Halo
6th Feb 05
 Alex Garland (author of the novels The Beach and The Tesseract and writer of the screenplay for 28 Days Later) has been hired by Microsoft to develop a feature-film script of its best-selling video-game franchise Halo (not Saw 2 as had been previously rumoured.
The film will be produced by ex-Columbia Pictures president Peter Schlessel, who quit the studio just over two years ago to become a producer.
The Halo franchise is one of the most popular in video-game history, having sold more than 12.8 million copies since its 2001 debut. Last year, Halo 2 sold 6.4 million units and was the second-bestselling video game of the year.
The plot of Halo revolves around a warrior soldier known as 'Master Chief' who battles a group of alien religious zealots who believe one of their most sacred artifacts is located on Earth.
