I found a few shorts that the director, Neill Blomkamp has done, on Youtube. Really interesting stuff, so I have growing faith in this now; especially in their (director, WETA, etc) ability to create a new, wholly realisitic world.

I've only seen the first video but it seems like this guy has the skills to pull off a Halo movie. Some of the style and shots reminded me of Ridley Scott. I like how the military handled their guns, pretty realistic. Special effects were pretty good too. Imagine what he can do if he's given a real budget.

Those videos actually interest me more in terms of concept for a plot than Halo, though I really want to see a Halo movie. With PJ producing and this guy directing it should be a pretty good flick.
