They won't be steering it, but "Lord of the Rings" and "King Kong" duo Peter
Jackson and Fran Walsh will hopefully be making sure "Halo" turns out as
fine as silver.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jackson and Walsh, the creative duo
behind the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and the upcoming "King Kong," have
boarded Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox's big-screen version of the
video game as executive producers.

Jackson and Walsh will give creative input on all aspects of the film via
their WingNut Films banner, and Jackson's Weta Digital Ltd. and Weta
Workshop Ltd. will provide creatures, miniatures and visual effects for the
production. This marks the first time that Jackson and Walsh have performed
these services on a major studio film that Jackson is not directing. It also
extends Jackson's relationship with Universal, for which he made the
upcoming "King Kong".
