If we have to believe Latinoreview, then there is still hope for a Halo movie. Scriptwriter Stuart Beattie has supposedly written a new script based upon the first novel of Halo called Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund.

The novel not only tells how the Master Chief was trained, but also how some of the first Covenant battles were won or lost. The story ends at planet Reach, when it comes under attack by the Covenant. After the Pillar of Autumn has retreated from the battlefield, the first game called Halo: Combat Evolved starts.

What gives the rumor even more credibility is that conceptual artist Kasra Farahani was asked to produce several concept arts based upon scenes from the script. This artist was also responsible for the concept art of Wolf Man, Hancock and Spiderman 3.

Latinoreview was able to get their hands on five of these concept arts and will post one of them each coming week. To your left you can see the first concept art, which is based upon a scene halfway through the story.

The Spartans and their escort ship gets ambushed and after a heavy battle they can punch a hole in the hull of the Covenant ship. John(Master Chief) and several other Spartans volunteer to go out in space and plant and detonate a nuke inside the enemy ship.

Let's hope that this time it won't only be concept art, but also a real movie :)
