'Halo' is headed for the big screen: Live-action film to be based on Microsoft video game

Microsoft confirmed the agreement Wednesday after months of speculation in Hollywood and the video-game world. —Todd Bishop

This movie is likely to join the ranks of the immortals.

The “Clippy” lead is clever.
