Microsoft Game Studio franchise development director Frank O'Connor revealed the film adaptation of the popular video game series Halo long thought dead may still be alive.
IGN tells us that while speaking about the property at the 2010 MI6 Conference in San Francisco last week, O'Connor said "We're going to make a movie when the time is right. We own the IP. If we want to make a movie, the scale of all the other stuff that we do changes dramatically."
He says without saying so the reason to do a film version of Halo is to make $ a move not without some risk - "We make tens and tens of millions of dollars on ancillary stuff, toys, apparel, music and publishing. If we do a movie all of that will grow exponentially. We have some numbers if we do a movie, but it changes everything. It also changes our target and age demographic."
