Apparently impressed by his experience writing for elite soldiers fighting on an intergalactic scale, Warner Bros. has tapped Halo: Reach scribe Peter O'Brien to write its action project Line of Sight. The blockbuster video game not only helped O'Brien move up the studio's radar, but it should also be great preparation for Line of Sight which Heat Vision describes as centering on "an elite commando squad transporting cargo while dealing with a global threat." Per the report, the actioner is being co-produced by Joel Silver and Andrew Rona and is part of Warner Bros.' increased emphasis on projects that "go boom" in an attempt to imitate the success Universal had with its smash-hit Fast Five.

As for O'Brien, in addition to penning Reach and now landing Line of Sight, the scribe also has his 2008 Black List script Unlocked set up at Warner Bros. and has found work on director Marc Forster's (Quantum of Solace) The Chancellor Manuscript and Fox 2000's adaptation of the British mini-series The Jury.
