'Halo 3'
The story about human soldiers fighting against an alien race has sold around 4 billion copies in the videogame medium, but plans to make it into a film will no longer go ahead.
Blomkamp told Creativity Online: "The film is entirely dead. In the configuration it was in. Whatever happens with that movie, assuming that movie gets made, will be a totally different configuration.
"It's not so much me as the entire vessel sank. Basically, it was a combination of...there were two studios involved that weren't getting along in the process of making it, Universal and Fox. That kind of stuff happens, it's a fragile industry.
"So the film collapsed at the end of last year, and it's been dead ever since then. I'll be curious to see what happens".
Reports claim that both Universal and Fox wanted to pull out of financing the film because it would have been so expensive to make.
