BBC: A film version of popular video game Halo is being made by two Hollywood studios, its developers have confirmed. (IMDB page for the movie.)

The screenplay, at least the first draft was written by Alex Garland (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0307497/). Not familar with the name? He the writer of the screenplays for 28 Days Later and The Beach.
There is actually a good article at http://www.bungie.net regarding the process of getting the Halo movie running, its a good read and highly recommended.
