In addition to prompting a bunch of people to go buy an Xbox, the first Halo also made a tremendous amount of money ($125 million on its day of release) making a big screen adaptation inevitable. Now, Universal, Fox and Microsoft are working out a deal to put screenwriter Alex Garland's (The Beach, 28 Days Later) script on film sometime this year.
