It seems that Spielberg is currently in talks to produce the project.
The film came to a halt when Universal and Fox disagreed on the project. A few years ago, Peter Jackson showed interest in doing the film.
Now, Spielberg hopes to bring the project to life, after being completely impressed with Stuart Beattie’s script. Beattie also wrote the screenplay for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
Although Spielberg wants to add Halo to his impressive filmography, he would only act as a producer for the movie. His next film, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, opens in theatres on December 23, 2011.
