"District 9 helmer Neill Blomkamp has claimed that he wouldn&amp;#039;t return to the Halo movie director&amp;#039;s chair. Blomkamp, a former visual effects artist, teamed up with producer Peter Jackson in 2006 to make a feature film based on Bungie&amp;#039;s Halo video game. However, 20th Century Fox pulled the plug on the project soon after due to its spiralling budget. Speaking to Slash Film at Comic-Con, Blomkamp insisted that he would refuse to direct Halo if the project was offered to him again. &amp;quot;Creatively, I would like to do it,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s kind of like I&amp;#039;d be sad to not work on it, but I would still say no.&amp;quot; The filmmaker noted that he put a lot of &amp;quot;sweat and blood&amp;quot; into the Halo film project with no reward. &amp;quot;When you work that long on something and you have it bottom out and collapse,&amp;quot; he commented. &amp;quot;I think I&amp;#039;m probably better off because District 9 is more of a personal film. But yeah, I love the world of Halo. I don&amp;#039;t think I would go back there.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Click here to watch the trailer for District 9 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
