Ain't It Cool News spoke with Peter Jackson this week in regards to several of his upcoming project which includes everything from The Hobbit to Temeraire (a dragon movie!). But perhaps the most anticipated of these projects is perhaps the Halo film which he is executive producing.

On first-time feature director Neill Blomkamp, Jackson had this to say:

"It's not Ridley Scott, it's not James Cameron, it's not what we've seen before, but it's something new and fresh and it's cool. That was important to us. Someone who was going to not go the cliched way, but go in the direction that they had an original vision for and Neill has got that in spades. We're feeling really, really good."

It's hard to not be more than a little concerned about a Halo movie sucking hard but Peter is obviously a fan of the game and though he won't actually be directing the movie it sounds like he will ultimately be responsible for what goes on the screen.
