I don't really have the words for this, since I've only just gotten the news. Just read, okay? Here's the meat, for the lazy...

A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to partner with two tremendous Producers from Universal, Mary Parent and Scott Stuber. In the short time they’ve been on board, Mary and Scott have joined with Peter Schlessel to accomplish unimaginably wonderful things. Example? They’ve secured an Executive Producer to help guarantee the creative integrity and technical excellence of the Halo film.

And that Executive Producer’s name is Peter Jackson.

This will not be a Doom, Alone in the Dark, or Mario Brothers. Do not doubt this. The only thing that can go wrong now is that the movie is 3.5 hours long and has 5 consecutive, drawn-out endings. Or that the Master Chief will have oversize hairy feet.

Let me just say in closing: "Yay." You can quote me.
