Apparently though, the presence of Jackson will also mean the film benefits from having WETA Digital as the film's acting special effects house. Having left many filmgoers thoroughly impressed by their work on the Lord of the Rings trilogy, WETA's interpretation of the Halo universe promises to be intriguing for fans of the game.

'We've made it our mission to try and involve the absolute very best people one can imagine in every capacity. Having developed a great relationship with Peter through the extraordinary Kong experience, and seeing first hand just how unique a filmmaking environment he's crafted, we approached him about the possibility of coming aboard to Exec Produce. Not surprisingly, he was already an avid fan of the game, and given our existing shorthand, he said yes!'
