This is VERY interesting. Although, I'm not going to get my hopes up. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
What WOULD be interesting is if they did the movie entirely within the game's engine... Of course, why bother, when you've got workstations like the ones used on Episode I to create disgustingly high poly characters. With the story that I'm SURE Bungie will give Halo, and the movie time frame being a few months after the game, that puts it around the time that the Final Fantasy movie will be released... It'd be interesting to see Bungie and Square battle it out at the Box Office...
