After watching "Corpse Bride", I decided to pick up the piano again. Here is the song I am currently working on:

Guillermo del Toro Confirms Halo Rumors Source: Empire Online
December 8, 2005
Empire Online reports that the rumors are true - Halo executive producer Peter Jackson (King Kong, "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy) has approached Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro about taking on the video game adaptation. Unless Halo can wait, however, it looks more like del Toro will be doing Hellboy 2 instead. He talked a bit about the sequel.
"It's going really good," said del Toro, who's completed a script. "It's about the fairy world and the mythical creatures all rebelling against humanity and saying it's the end of mankind and it's the season for the sons of the Earth. And basically Hellboy has to try to repress or suppress that rebellion." The magazine says Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, David Hyde-Pierce and Rupert Evans are all coming back, while "Hellboy" creator Mike Mignola is also on board. "He should be reading the screenplay right now," laughed Guillermo.
However, Hellboy 2 is still awaiting the big greenlight before filming can take place. "We're budgeting," del Toro added. "I'm very much looking forward to it. I wanna do it. It's still on the front burner, but it's all about budget."
In the back of Guillermo's mind is the Halo big screen adaptation. "'Halo' is very much an interesting project because it’s so full of monsters. It's a big temptation. I'm in talks with them [Universal and Bungie Films] and Peter, but it's not true that it's on and Hellboy's off. Hellboy's on. If everything goes as planned, Hellboy will go."
If Hellboy 2 happens, it's possible Halo could go to another director. "The ideal for me would be to do 'Hellboy 2' and if 'Halo' doesn't go away, then yeah, I'd love to do both. But it may go to somebody else. We'll see."
