Them folks over at Kotaku might be crazier than a... really crazy thing, but they've got some damn interesting news. Apparently the guy behind Dead Alive, King Kong, and those movies about a bunch of midgets with like a necklace or some such is getting into gaming. We already know that he's lined up as Executive Producer for the Halo movie, but it looks like he'll be involved with Master Chief and Sarge on the small screen as well.

Wingnut's[Jackson's recently-announced game studio] first two projects will be Xbox 360 exclusives. The first will be a cooperative effort with Bungie Studios to create a new IP, not Halo 3 and not Halo Wars, built from the Halo universe. The game will be co-written and co-designed by Jackson, Walsh and the Bungie team.

Scott Henson, director of strategy for Xbox and Games for Windows, told me that they haven't yet announced what form the game will take, so it could be anything from a shooter to a role-playing game to an MMO.

The second game will be a brand new franchise built around an "entirelty original property targeted at bringing new audiences into the captivating world of interactive entertainment."

Crazy. I'll be following this closely...
