Microsoft delivered copies of the Alex Garland script ( credited for The Beach and 28 Days Later) to Hollywood studios earlier this week with a huge price tag, and tough conditions attached.

People dressed as Master Cheif, arrived at the offices of many major studios on Monday to hand in copies of the script. It seems microsoft wants to get started as soon as they can too. They want a response by monday, and production by January, which indictaes the company could be planning a 2006 release.

The same timeframe as Halo 3 on the Xbox 360, which will arrive at around the same time as the launch of the PlayStation 3.
New Line and DreamWorks passing on the project- saying Microsofts standards are to hard to meet.

Bungie Studios, would also retain a massive degree of creative control over the project making sure the movies dosent upset or hurt anything in the delicatly placed universe of Halo.
Sony Pictures groups have been excluded for the bidding due to the rivalry between Microsoft and Sony.
