According to Deadline, Sony Pictures has acquired the Joe Haldeman science fiction novella Seasons and will develop it for Michael De Luca to produce and Tim Miller to direct. Sebastian Gutierrez has been set to write the screenplay. The deal was made by Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad and production president Hannah Minghella, and Sam Dickerman will oversee it. Gutierrez’s scripting credits include Snakes on a Plane and Gothika, and he just helmed Hotel Noir. Alissa Phillips will be exec producer.
The novella, which is part of the 1985 Haldeman short story collection Dealing In Futures, focuses on an anthropological expedition to a planet with sentient humanoids that goes horribly awry.

With the arrival of Halo 4 approaching fast, Microsoft has stepped up their marketing campaign and released a new live-action launch trailer from filmmaker David Fincher and visual effects artist Tim Miller. The trailer first premiered last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and has since found its way online.
Directed by Miller, who has maintained an impressive career in visual effects, the trailer is titled “Scanned” and provides a bit of insight into how Master Chief came to be at the hands of military scientists. Fincher, who is most well known for his directorial work on Se7en and The Social Network, first began his career doing music videos and has clearly fine-tuned his storytelling skills for short features.
Halo 4 arrives on November 6, 2012 and is now available for pre-order.
