Microsoft considers the Web series "the next step" for the franchise as an entertainment property that could eventually lead to a theatrical feature -- after the plug on one was pulled by Universal and Fox that Blomkamp was to direct and Peter Jackson to produce in 2005.

"I don't think anybody needs any reminding of (the potential)," McCloskey said. "Everyone keeps reminding us of that."

Once the Web series ends its run, Microsoft plans to package the entire production in some form to "live on" on other platforms, McCloskey said.
