HOLLYWOOD - Filmmaker Peter Jackson has been signed up by computer giant Microsoft to create an Xbox game.
The director--celebrated for his digital wizardry in giant ape film King Kong--will produce a series based on the Halo video-game franchise, but admits he's still not sure how it will work.
He says, "Technology is at a point where we can blend a lot of film storytelling with interactive entertainment.
"We are right on the threshold of a new way of telling stories... (but we still need to) work out how to do it."
The announcement was made at a convention in Barcelona, Spain, yesterday.
