There are rumors flying around that the long talked about Halo movie may now be in the hands of legendary director/producer Steven Spielberg.

IESB is reporting that Steven Spielberg was "blown away" by a script written by Stuart Beattie called Halo The Fall Of Reach. We have taken all of this is as the uncomfirmed rumor that it is, but IESB was very adamant that the rumor is very true. Kotaku contacted Microsoft and got a canned response that the Halo movie is on hold while they focus on the development of Halo: ODST and Halo: Reach.

Rumor or not, people are putting in their two cents on whether Spielberg would be good for the Halo movie or not. I, for one, think it could be a good thing. No one can deny that Spielberg has put out some good films over the years. I would have loved to have seen a big screen version of Neil Blomkamp and Peter Jackson's vision of the game, but Spielberg would be a pretty good consolation prize.
