No problem. Who would you pick as the director if you could pick anyone. I think I would pick Paul Verhoeven. He did robocop/total recall/basic instinct/showgirls/starship troopers/hollow man.

Peter Jackson. He's my favourite Director, and I think he'd be capable of doing it. He has an 11 year old son who most likely knows a fair bit about halo.
What would really piss me off was if they didn't get all the details like the ranking order of the Elites etc.
The white Zealot Commander will be coming soon.
Bulls**t.
All those little things will make a huge difference. But I reckon they'll get it right. I heard they're using actual players of halo telling them Online stories and awesome battles they've done.
That will be cool if they go along with it.

Bungie will be there all the way to tell them what not to do. Also bungie made them a reference book so that if they have any questions they can look it up.

Me too. But it will be really hard to screw it up cause so many people are watching for the red flags of suckage to appear. And with PJ name on the staff of the film they should get some good offers from people wanting to get in on this movie.

Development of project (so far)
Microsoft developed the picture outside the studio system paying Garland $1 million to develop the picture and hiring Peter Schlessel, a former executive at Columbia Pictures to develop the project which is Microsoft's first entry into the movie business.
Microsoft delivered the script to the major film studios on June 6, 2005 with employees at Creative Artists Agency delivering the script dressed as Master Chief. E! Online reported that Microsoft set conditions such as Microsoft retaining merchandising rights, a $75 million budget and Microsoft having the rights to examine rough cuts of the movie. These conditions meant that many of the major film studios weren't interested in the project despite the success of the video game.
In late August 2005, an agreement was reached with Fox and Universal Studios. Under this agreement, Fox and Universal will pay Microsoft $5 million against 10% of the movie's gross. In regard to marketing, Universal owns all US rights and 20th Century Fox has marketing rights in other territories.
On September 17, 2005, IMDB posted that Uwe Boll had been chosen as the director of this project. Bungie Software later proved this to be false. On September 21, 2005, IMDB removed the statement after creating controversy with die hard fans of the game series. Another rumor was that Peter Jackson, who directed the blockbuster Lord of the Rings movies, would direct. Both rumors have been proven untrue, however. The director has not yet been chosen. But according to Bungie.net, Jackson will be the executive producer for the film.
On October 4, 2005, Universal Studios announced that Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh will be executive producers of the film, and that Weta Digital will provide the special effects.
This movie will be released sometime in 2007.
