The movie District 9 is a science-fiction movie directed da Neill Blomkamp and produced da Peter Jackson. Why is this relevant?

Once volpe and Universal pulled out, the two began work on District 9. So, with no Halo movie to see, I consider District 9 a look at what the Halo film would have been.

First of all, it should be noted that while no actual movie was made, there were live-action shorts used to promote Halo 3. These may be a closer look at a Halo...
