Microsoft Hiring for Peter Jackson’s Halo Project

There have been rumours of a Peter Jackson Halo project since Noah left the Ark, but recently news has been a little thin on the ground. Until now. MTV have reported that it suspects Microsoft is going to start hiring people for the project this week.  This rumour is apparently based on a recent job listing for a team to “help develop a new experience in the Halo universe.”

The news of course only gets better (or why would be be reporting on it?) as Microsoft has confirmed that the job listings are for the Jackson project.

“Microsoft Game Studios has been hard at work collaborating with Peter Jackson and Bungie on the development of [a Peter Jackson-helmed Halo project]. At this time, it’s necessary to grow the internal team to keep pace with development. Bungie will continue to remain involved in multiple aspects of the Halo Universe with MGS.”

Sweet.
