I swear, you cannot understand the size of the boner this news has given me.

It's like, I'm here, and there's the car. It's all the way through the windows, and on the other side.

Yeah.

I felt bad for those script-toting Master Chiefs last summer. It was *really* hot in the Valley that day and each of them had the full Nightmare Armor rig...

I saw the pictures of that - definently not a fun day.

Though hopefully the nightmare guys rigged up some ventilation or cooling - I could see a small fan or three with a battery supply in the backpack.

Still, though - WETA doing Halo - OMG.

OMG.

I wonder if Jackson might have a plan to tap one of of his ADs from LOTR and Kong for the director's chair, keep his ADs and production teams in the loop...produce with a finger in the directing, too...

Plus, can you imagine Andy Serkis doing a voice for one of the Jackals or a Grunt?

...oh, shit.

DD wasn't bidding on the effects, were they? I'd feel kinda bad if I was doing the hooah dance about this when it meant Chad and etx. lost out on a big contract.

I don't think we were yet. Not sure if they've even started bidding out effects work yet. Either way, just because Pete's production company is onboard doesn't automatically mean WETA is doing the effects.

It probably means they're doing the effects, yes, but they're Not There Yet. :)

Ahh, cool. (Though, yeah, more likely than not...)

Glad I wasn't doing anything dumber than usual, then.

Oh, and if you do happen to get involved, I will pay you, like, blood and my kidneys to get my Halo 2 tag concealed in there somewhere...

He's not an artist. He's a camera op. ;)

Yeah, but he knows who to talk to...he's got tha hookup, yes?

I also promise I will never refer to things as 'tha hookup' again.

If I were a man, I'm certain I'd have had exactly the same reaction.

'Still, though - WETA doing Halo - OMG.'

Just so long as we don't get another stuffup like the Mirror of Galadriel scene, I'll be fine with it. Much as I think Cate Blanchett was the worst casting choice in LOTR, she doesn't take all the blame for that.

See, I didn't think that was bad - especially not in the EE. The original cut, eh, but the EE? Good.

Besides, I don't think Halo will require too many slow-paced scenes.

Whoops, that was me.

I haven't seen the EE version, but I assume it still has the neon green inverse filter they used on Galadriel. That was what really galled me about that scene. Well, that and Galadriel just sort of...holding her arms up and causing a storm. It didn't feel like the written version at all (from what I remember of it).

She gets pretty intensely tempted by the Ring in the book, too. Maybe not as melodramatically, but it's there.
