343 not only making Halo games but Ridely Scott digital features!? Gah sooooo cool! Cant wait to see what they are working on. I want to work on a Halo digital feature by Ridely Scott! ha :)
I'd guess it means digital in the sense that it'll be distributed for download only. Well, that's officially the strangest analogy I've heard today. Kudos.
that article says scott is not directing but producing. through his company he seems to be involved in loads of movies. 'digital feature' meaning all computer animated? and it doesn't say anything about this being a series, does it?
Most of the studios want to transition to digital distribution "to theaters" and put and end to shipping physical film reels to hundreds of thousands locations around the world. Physical film is a bit of a logistical nightmare, if they don't get it just right and gauge demand perfectly they can easily lose money producing…
