Hail to the chief


Halo 3 is set to hits stores at midnight today and Microsoft is hoping to make a whopping $150 million in first day sales alone. That means Bill Gates will get richer, parent $70 poorer and kids 100 per cent dumber as they sit on their obese buttocks killing everyone in sight.

And speaking of Halo, what’s the buzz on the film version? Well, Halo fans can rejoice as the film is slated for a 2009 release. It’s being helmed by relative unknown South African director Neill Blomkamp and penned by Alex Garland who wrote the brilliant 28 Days Later and The Beach (I will refrain from mentioning the horrendous film version of the latter).

Guillermo del Toro was set to direct until he pulled out to do...errr...Hellboy 2. Wise choice moron. Hobbit-lover Peter Jackson is executive producing and the cast has not been decided on. Russell Crowe for Master Chief?
