As if Steven Spielberg working on a Halo series wasn’t enough for Microsoft, another big name has just signed on for a different project in the sci-fi universe.

Ridley Scott, the director of Gladiator and Alien, has signed on as an executive producer for a new Halo digital feature. Sergio Mimica-Gezzan (Battlestar Galactica, Heroes) will serve as the project’s director.

There’s no word yet as to how Scott’s Halo piece will tie in with Spielberg’s, if at all, but with a new chapter in the series due for release sometime in the next year, there’s plenty of possibilities as to where it can go.

Expect more information on the project during the Electronic Entertainment Expo at E3 in a few months.
