Under the agreement, Universal Pictures receives domestic rights to Halo, with Fox handling international distribution. Compared to the reported $10 million asking price for the Halo script, the current deal supposedly entails a more realistic sale for $5 million. The upcoming Halo film is based upon a script penned by 28 Days Later scribe Alex Garland. So far, Microsoft has kept quiet about any story details, though it's sure to involve Master Chief blowing up a bunch of Covenant.
