Now we've had a number of famous folks visit Bungie, and it's always clear in the first few minutes if they "get it" – if they're card-carrying members of Halo fandom. You can tell by the questions they ask, by the conspiratorial grins that creep onto their faces as the designers brief them on the arcane relationship between base health and target magnetism.

Alex definitely got it, and once Parsons and I heard his pitch we knew we'd found our man. Alex and I spent a few weeks working through key questions (both mine and his), and then he went dark – disappeared down a writer's hole to crank-out the first draft.

How did that draft turn out? Let me put it this way: I wrote the script for both Halo games, but as Alex's interpretation rumbled from one climax to the next I found myself wondering (sometimes aloud): "Damn! How's the Chief gonna fight his way outta this?!" Only to follow-up a few pages later with: "Oh man, I can't wait to see that on screen!" Good stuff.

And it kept getting better with each successive draft.

So we've got a great script, we're working with two great studios
