mr.sci-fi stopped by to let us know about Halo: The Fallen, a fan film coming soon. Apparently, a teaser trailer will be available on Sunday night at 9pm Pacific, here – and they’ve got both a Facebook page and a Twitter feed. Out of the blue!(Louis Wu 13:36:28 UTC)

Halo Waypoint posted the Weekly Halo Bulletin last night – the high point is the Then and Now sound comparisons between Halo: CE weapons and the Anniversary weapons.

So in August 2009, rumors circulated that Steven Spielberg was interested in making a Halo movie. Nothing ever came of them. A year later, though, in October 2010, they resurfaced. Still nothing. Today, Halo.Fr posted some scans (thanks, Sirkan) of the material that came inside the French press kit for Halo: Cryptum – and right there, in black and white (and French), is a paragraph that translates to

Afilm adaptationis setin 2012.It will beconducted jointly bytwo heavyweightsof American cinema: StevenSpielbergandDreamworks.

343 has been contacted for comment, but we’ve heard nothing so far. Seems like it might be a misunderstanding… or maybe just a well-kept secret, broken by the French.(Louis Wu 22:01:38 UTC)

Sometimes we like to highlight a project in the game industry that might not have to do with Halo itself, but that comes from developers and professionals close to the Halo family. In that spirit, make sure you check out Orcs Must Die! from our friends at Robot Entertainment. Robot (formally Ensemble Studios) has a firm place in the Halo family with Halo Wars, and their Community Manager Justin Korthof was also a Community Manager with 343 Industries; you may know him better as SixOkay. The game is a ton of fun, and launches today for 1200msp. We’re really proud of everyone involved, congrats guys!(GrimBrother One 14:04:30 UTC)
