Heck, only one of them is confirmed, and the rest?

Well, most will happen one day, but theyre certainly taking their time.

Its intending to make the film in 3D, too, we understand.

ASTEROIDS

Weve going in alphabetical order, which means we pretty much start with an odd one.

Universal picked up the rights toAsteroids, the vintage 8-bit blasting of odd shapes, back in 2009.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura is producing.

CALL OF DUTY

Its not a matter of if aCall Of Dutymovie will get made, but when.

And since then, Dan Harris (X2) was signed up to work on a script.

Consider this one stuck in development hell for the time being.

The firm has recruited Kyle Ward to pen a script, and that process is ongoing.

But Screen Gems will be keen to get this one made.

But Universal clearly still believes theres something in this.

The films a while off yet.

Where does that leave the film?

Er, good question.

But that was last year, and not much else has happened since.

Best regard is as still in development.

The second of three properties that Ubisoft is looking to bring to the big screen.

Its status is pretty much the same as that forAssassins Creed.

How involved Tom Clancy would want to get is not clear at all.

GOD OF WAR

This one looks dead, but may yet be resurrected.

But given the amount of time thats since lapsed, theres little chance of this one happening anytime soon.

Which is a common theme in this list, youll notice.

HALO

Had the original plan for aHalomovie not fallen apart, then we may not have hadDistrict 9.

Off they popped instead to makeDistrict 9, and gave the world one of the surprise hits of 2009.

Thus, the increasingly busy Kyle Ward was hired to put a script together for a follow-up.

The project was still active as of last year, with Daniel Benmayor potentially directing the film.

But as things stand, no further progress.

That alone should ensure that something should happen.

F Gary Gray had since been linked, and then Wayne Kramer.

But we cant find evidence of any director currently attached.

METAL GEAR SOLID

Announced, then missing, then presumed dead.

Sony is reportedly involved in funding the film, which Michael De Luca is producing.

But the planned 2012 release date isnt going to happen.

Twentieth Century Fox has picked this one up, acquiring the rights at the start of the year.

If the studio has done anything with said rights, though, were yet to hear it.

RESIDENT EVIL

TheResident Evilfranchise is what most movie studios are looking to emulate.

The last movie,Resident Evil: Afterlifetook in nearly $300m at the worldwide box office alone.

Harald Zwart, who helmed the remake ofThe Karate Kid, is developing this one.

The movie was first announced back in 2009, yet its been slow going so far.

Still, levers do still appear to be cranking.

As late as last autumn, word was that getting the script into shape was the major issue.

However, progress did appear to be being made.

We might hear some more on this one at some point this year, then.

Theres arguably enough within it, though, to justify a follow-up.

SPLINTER CELL

SeeGhost Recon, as the same points apply.

2013 is when we can expect this.

If ever an actor was born to play a certain role, then this is it.

Let the Nathan for Nathan campaign begin right now.

The film currently sits on Warner Bros slate.
