Wed, 7 February 2007  For today's edition of the Gamasutra Podcast we feature an interview with DB Weiss, the author of the noted video game-related novel Lucky Wander Boy, as well as one of the screenwriters behind the upcoming, but currently on hiatus Halo feature film. In the course of our conversation, the podcast discusses such issues as his experiences working on the Halo screenplay for producers Mary Parent, Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, some of the difficulties in capturing the essence of such a popular franchise while dealing with the criticisms of Halo's already rabid fan base, and even some of his classic gaming experiences growing up. You can now download the Gamasutra Podcast Interview with DB Weiss (.MP3, 36 minutes, 16 MB). In addition, you can subscribe to the Gamasutra podcasts by clicking this link for iTunes.
