Not for the first time, director Stephen Spielberg has been linked to a Halo movie.

This time, a translated French press release is the source and states, "A film adaptation is set in 2012. It will be conducted jointly by two heavyweights of American cinema: Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks."

The news came in a French press kit for the new book Halo: Crytum. Spielberg was rumoured to be interested in making a Halo movie a year or so ago and Microsoft has also expressed interest in a film, so there could be an announcement imminent.This could just be a load of old merde or a major PR blunder from the French. Either way, we’ll keep you posted
