Halo Director Named

Postby ssj100matt » Wed Aug 09, 2006 2:33 pm

According to AICN Peter Jackson has named Neill Blomkamp director of the live action Halo movie... Now the obvious question here is "Who is Neill Blomkamp".... Well he is pretty much an unknown... He has done several visual effects and 3d animation for shows like Smallvile, Dark Angel and SG1... He has only directed a few short films but other than that he is just an unknown...

Im sure Jackson saw something in this guy and related to him a bit... He too was a reletivly unknown director (aside from Bad Taste and Frighteners) when he was given the chance do LOTR, now look at him now...

In some ways this is good and bad... Its bad because he isnt experianced and is about to tackle a huge project with an equal size fanbase... The good is that he is very digital effects oriented (which your gonna need on this) and that the movie will be more of a surpise when its released...

Anyways if you want to check out a REALLY cool short film that Blomkamp directed and did effects on check this video out called Tempbot...

2 more things i want to add to this...

One is another short film this guy has directed... This one is pretty cool as well... Its called "Alive in Jorburg"... It deals with Humans and Aliens living together... After watching it im starting to get the idea why he was choosen for Halo... Check it out
Heres the link to the film:

The second thing i wanted to bring up is this interview with Neil Blomkamp on AICN... Its very interesting... http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=24139


Ive never been a fan of Halo the game but the way they are going about making the movie intrigues me...
