Jackson to get 7 figure advance for Halo movie

Not only are Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh getting 7 figure advances for their Executive Producing on the Halo movie, but also a cut of the backend profits which means beaucop d'argent when the movie eventually does come out. All this money being thrown around (nice to see they're willing to spend the $$$ to get the proper talent) and an official directory hasn't even been announced yet (uwe boll, sit down). Who ever will eventually step into the dirctor's chair will be looking at a sweet deal for sure.
