Universal Pictures upcoming film HALO, based on the popular video game, has a new writer lending his pen to the project.

DB Weiss told Game Set Watch, "I write for film now, mostly appropriately enough, I'm currently adapting Halo for producers Mary Parent, Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh. I've got another novel finished that needs a second draft and maybe someday, I'll be able to work in games. I certainly hope so."

Alex Garland (28 Days Later) wrote the previous draft.

DB Weiss is the author of 2003's Lucky Wander Boy, a critically acclaimed fictional story dealing with obscure video games.
