Video: Neill Blomkamp's Halo 3: Landfall

Available since last week on Xbox Live Marketplace, Halo 3: Landfall is now on the web for all to see. Lest you're unfamiliar with the video, it's all three of Neill Blomkamp's Halo 3 short films edited into one. We have to admit, seeing them all together makes us pine for the Halo movie that could have been. The film takes place just prior to the events of Halo 3 and tells the story of a pair of orbital drop shock troopers (ODST) on a mission critical to Earth's success in the Human / Covenant war: they have to confirm Master Chief's coordinates as he rockets through the atmosphere (see the ending of Halo 2). Sounds easy enough, right? Watch and see for yourself.

Latest Halo 3 live action short is on XBLM in HD

We're not sure how long this has been on the XBLM or which countries it's available to, but we just discovered the video while taking a gander through the Marketplace and got excited. Available for download in full HD goodness is the latest Neill Blomkamp Halo 3 short Last One Standing that we mentioned back in September. To get the video, head onto the Marketplace and go to Media and Entertainment > TV Shows > Clips. Here you'll find the Halo Short - Full Version download in both SD and HD flavors. Remember, this is the same video from a few weeks back, but now in juicy HD glory and on your 360. Again, sorry if this is old news, but it's new news to us and after watching it in HD we wet ourselves. And anything that makes us wet ourselves (even if it's old) we feel obligated to share.

Halo movie is pretty much dead for now

In an interview with Creativity Online, Halo director and overall good guy Neill Blomkamp commented on the status of and his involvement in the Halo movie and pretty much confirmed our worst fears, that the movie is indeed dead in its tracks. Blomkamp told Creativity Online that, in its current configuration, the Halo movie has been killed off since late last year when Universal, Fox and Microsoft couldn't agree on the movie's specifics. "It's a fragile industry" Blomkamp said, and if the movie ever gets made it "will be a totally different configuration". Sorry Halo fanboys, it has been nothing but icky news as of late.
