Even if the fate of the Halo movie is quite unsure at this point, it’s a bit reassuring to learn new details about the much-awaited film based on Bungie Studios‘ popular gaming franchise. When gaming columnist N’Gai Croal popped he topic to Halo 3 writing director Joseph Staten, gamers were treated to a small, yet juicy tidbit about the (still) upcoming Halo film: Master Chief is just a supporting character.

According to Sta hen, Master Chief will perform a very important role in Hollywood’s take on the world of Halo, but only as the “most important supporting cast member.” And the reason why Master Chief wasn’t able to nab the leading role? Apparently, Bungie Studios decided that the helmed hero could not make the cut because of Master Chief’s emotional limitations (and maybe because his face is always hidden as well).

Main character or not, we’re still optimistic and happy at the fact that the Halo movie production is still a go. At least, finding new details about the movie could be an good indication that it is still being worked on.
