This movie is starting to look up.

I dig the cast list that the Bungie folks want:
* Chief: Karl Urban
* Cortana: Salma Hayek (JUST for the costume)
* Sgt. Johnson: David Scully
* 343 Guilty Spark: David Hyde Pierce
* All the Grunts: WeeMan (just like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
* Captain Keyes: Sean Connery
* All of the Elites: Bob Sapp
* The Flood: Paris Hilton, Ashlee Simpson, Hilary Duff, Meatloaf Aday as Carrier Form.

Peter Jackson should be HALO director since he’s one of the best.
