Peter Jackson May be Involved in Halo Animated Series

Update
1up has gotten Microsoft’s response to Shane Kim’s interview. Here it is quoted verbatim from 1up:

“Did Shane Kim’s loose lips reveal too much, too soon? Microsoft doesn’t think so. Kim and Microsoft have told 1UP this morning “he was misquoted (or possibly misspoke) during the GameSpy interview, but either way, it was an error.”

Microsoft reiterated the fact that Jackson’s project is a Halo interactive series, but wouldn’t say anything more than that.”

Original Story

Micrsoft Game Studios’ lead man mentions Peter Jackson’s involvement in Halo “animated series” during an interview with GameSpy.

“Bungie has their plans well mapped out,” Shane Kim said. “You have to, when you have a studio like that, and you need to know what you’re moving your people on to. So they have the collaboration with Peter Jackson on the animated series.”

Peter Jackson was previously involved with the Halo movie but since that project has been delayed till an unknown time, this may be his next project with Microsoft.

Shane Kim made once last comment, “I’m not sure about the specifics. They’ll be done with Halo 3 this year, but we haven’t announced any dates on the Halo 3 series.”
