Peter Jackson's 'Halo' Movie/Game Finally Laid to Rest?

Funny how even when you combine one of the most respected directors in Hollywood (Peter Jackson) with one of the most successful videogame franchises of all time ('Halo'), it's still a battle getting anything done.
And at this point, it looks like the battle has been lost.
'Halo Chronicles,' the consistently hyped game from the partnership between Peter Jackson (who was set to produce the film) and Microsoft Game Studios, looks to be a thing of the past. After a screening of 'District 9' (which was directed by Neill Blomkamp, who was on board to direct the Halo film), Jackson told Joystiq, "That Halo project is no longer happening, it sort of collapsed when the movie didn't end up happening."
Which is a bummer, really, because Blomkamp is one of the most talented young directors out there; early buzz on 'District 9' is through the roof. So, the question is: What is Microsoft's recently unveiled Halo studio, 343 Industries, actually working on? Our money is on a new Barbie Horse Adventures game.[From: Joystiq]
