But that was then, and this is now &#8212; with Halo 3 getting set to demolish the gaming world, Peter Jackson told OnFilm magazine that he expects the project to lift itself out of development hell once Fox and Universal catch a glimpse of the Halo hype first hand. As far as Blomkamp goes; Jackson notes: &#8220;We wouldn&#8217;t want to do it with anyone else. It&#8217;s Neill&#8217;s call.&#8221; But that&#8217;s not all the man has on his plate; apart from directing The Lovely Bones, Jackson is producing a remake of 1954&#8217;s The Dam Busters; a project he&#8217;s kept quiet about for quite some time.
