Not really so much of a rumor as it seems to have been very very clearly stated in the French press release kit for Halo: Cryptum.
At the bottom of the press release for the book this was stated
Now we know Spielberg has been fighting to get a Halo movie done ever since he read the script for The Fall of Reach and we do know he has talked to Microsoft about it.
Seems like everything Halo is destined to be leaked by the French lol
