The Master Chief has actually already made his Hollywood debut, appearing in theaters in the cinematic trailer that kicked off the I Love Bees phenomenon. But now it appears as if the long-time question, "wouldn't a Halo movie be cool" might soon end up having a real, definitive answer.

The answer still from Bungie is still a variation on "no comment" from the latest Weekly Update by Frankie; however, all Microsoft is saying is that they have not "made any official movie announcements" in response to questions generated by their hiring of writer Alex Garland (IMDB) of 28 Days Later and The Beach fame, and the rumor mill is that Garland would be adapting Halo for the silver screen.
