Halo the Movie, Bungie Jumping into Theaters in 09?

Who isn't a Halo fan-boy at this point *cough* me, 'cause I heart my trusty Wii, but maybe I could still get down with some Halo-the-movie live action phun.
Description:

Fans of Halo eagerly await the feature film version of the hugely popular Xbox game from Microsoft and its subsidiary Bungie. Neill Blonkamp will make his directorial debut from a script by Alex Garland (The Beach). Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh will serve as the executive producers. [HSX]

...and not in an attempt to pull one of those youtube bait & switches, (i.e. you search for Irwin+stingray, and you see some unsigned band's music video), but this COULD be what the movie would look like...but more than likely this was just some big budget live action commercial that Bungie put together:

Don't everyone run out all at once to get a bullet-belt tattoo:

The Halo movie has all but been canceled according to the director of these shorts, Neill Blomkamp, who was chosen by Microsoft, Bungie, and executive producer Peter Jackson to helm the silver screen adaptation.

This short, along with two others, was created not to resurrect the movie project but to promote last month's release of Halo 3.

The short was directed by Blomkamp and created with the help of WETA (not WETA digital). Neither was it particularly "big budget" according to Blomkamp.

A quick turn around on Google will display all of this.
