Del Toro Halo Rumor Confirmed
Empire Online has confirmed rumors that Peter Jackson has approached Hellboy
director Guillermo del Toro to helm the eagerly awaited adaptation of the
best-selling video game Halo.
But del Toro, who's in Madrid finishing up the Spanish-language fantasy film
Pan's Labyrinth, may have a conflict: He told the site that he is also
considering directing Hellboy 2, the sequel to his 2004 hit.
"It's going really good," del Toro told the site about the sequel, for which he
has completed a script. "It's about the fairy world and the mythical creatures
all rebelling against humanity and saying it's the end of mankind and it's the
season for the sons of the Earth. And basically Hellboy has to try to repress
or suppress that rebellion."
Hellboy star Ron Perlman is coming back, as are the rest of the original cast,
including Selma Blair, Doug Jones, David Hyde-Pierce and Rupert Evans, the site
reported. Mike Mignola, who created the Hellboy comic series on which the films
are based, is also on board. "He should be reading the screenplay right now,"
del Toro told the site.
As for Halo, based on the Microsoft alien-invasion game? "Well, Halo is very
much an interesting project, because it's so full of monsters," del Toro said.
"It's a big temptation. I'm in talks with them [Universal Pictures and Bungie
Films] and Peter, but it's not true that it's on and Hellboy's off. Hellboy's
on. If everything goes as planned, Hellboy will go."
