It’s a bummer to hear the Peter Jackson Halo game may be dead. But maybe this will open up other opportunities for directors to collaborate on a Halo project. Our choice: Lloyd Kaufman.
News Blips:
• Peter Jackson Halo project gets teabagged. Looks like Halo: Chronicles, the Halo collaboration with Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson, ain’t happening. Well, according to the dude who would have directed the Halo movie. But considering Peter Jackson is producing his new flick District 9, he’s probably telling the truth. If not, we’re never dressing up like a hobbit again! [Joystiq]
• New Resident Evil flick will packin’ the triple d’s. Director Paul W.S. Anderson confirmed next year’s Resident Evil: Afterlife will be shot in a whopping three dimensions. That means you might actually die when a zombie rushes at your face. That’s why they make your wear glasses: protection. [GameSpot]
• Bungie making stuff other than Halo? Haha, you’re funny. No, really — they are. And apparently this mysterious new game (for equally mysterious platforms) will have an official publisher soon. Probably a publisher you’ve heard of, too (sorry, O-Games). [Eurogamer]
• Disney hates virtual Netflix parties, unhappy endings. 1UP discovered something interesting fooling around with the new Xbox Live update today: All Disney flicks do not support the new party feature. We sure hope this is a bug, because this is really going to ruin our already-planned Snow Dogs party. [1UP]
