A Halo Movie
« on: December 31, 2008, 09:32:10 am »
I am surprised that there has not been a Halo movie. They made movies from The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Both are OK movies, in my own opinion. But where is the Halo movie??? Why have we not seen the previews... and why is it keep being put on hold? One day its on and happening with a story and characters, and the next day it has been canceled. I would think that Halo would be the next big movie to come out. I have read all the books and, in my own opinion, the story is amazing. I would love to see some visual action here.

So I was wanting to know... Where do you think they should start? Halo: Fall of Reach or The Flood? Of course Reach would eventually show the Master Chief's face and some believe that is a sin. I personnally do not care if I see his face. I would suggest to start at Reach for the simple reason that everyone outside of the gaming community and not having read the books would be totally lost if they started the movie at The Flood. But I was wanting to hear some opinions from around the gaming community about this topic. Do you think they should make a movie? If they do, how big would it be? And would you wear all you Halo and MLG apparel? I would  ;)

And just a side note: If they do make the movie... I hope they do not butcher the story like they did with the movie DOOM. I mean really... a virus that turns people into zombies/super human freaks... that whole bit is getting old... The story in the game was better with a gateway to ♥♥♥♥♥ being opened.
May God have mercy on your video game character, cause I won't.

Summer of '09 live action with heavy CG work through Peter Jackson's group (the same guys who helped work on Lord of the Rings).

Yeah... Just as amazing as every other game based movie ever made.

But from what I remember, Every studio that looked into it has turned tail and ran when they saw the budget compared to the profit potential when compared to the profits of every other hyped and failed video game movie.

This is the correct answer to the thread.

Heavy CG work sounds promising but like every other video game movie ill just wait until the reviews role in.

I dont think theres any realistic way for anyone 2 make a "good" Halo movie thats based on the game. Anyone who plays the games will just look at it and say "Wow that movie was nothing like the game." On the other hand, the books would be a great way to start on the story.

How about not a movie but a series... kind of like stargate SG-1... which was terrible... but I think with good CGI a Halo series would be good. All I am wanting is some visual action here... who knows that might be what they would do... make a movie then go straight to a series. But thats only an idea.
