There has been a lot of talk surrounding a Halo Movie over the course of the past year or two, but any attempt to actually get things rolling on that front has ended up coming to a sudden halt.

However, there looks to be a small glimmer of hope according to G.I. JOE Screenwriter Stuart Beattie, who has written a speculative script for a Halo Movie on his own time, which would create a trilogy of movies, with the first episode based off Eric Nylund’s Bestselling “Fall of Reach“.

HALO: FALL OF REACH is a labor of love by Beattie in the hopes of finally getting the movie made.

So what is the script about? Below is what my source tells me…

The script is, first and foremost, a character-driven story about a soldier named John who was kidnapped or “conscripted” by the UNSC when he was just six years old, and then brutally trained to become an elite Spartan warrior known as Master Chief 117.

The script then takes us through the horrific first contact with the Covenant hordes on the doomed colony world of Harvest, and then climaxes with the spectacular fall of the UNSC forward base on Reach, during which every other Spartan is slaughtered.

This certainly would make for an Epic start in the Halo Movie series. Let’s hope it pulls through and someone gets this thing going in Holywood!
