Halo movie?

[Mizenku]

Is there really going to be a halo movie???

A couple of years back, Peter Jackson and then-newcomer Neill Blomkamp (District 9) were going to partner up on a big-screen Halo movie. Microsoft, however, got cold feet (partly because Blomkamp was too new at the time and hadn't proven himself yet), and so the big-budgeted affair was shelved for the time being. After all, video game movies don't seem to have the greatest success rate. With the Resident Evil movies still chugging along – proving there is value in video game movies if done right -- Microsoft definitely sees potential in a feature-length Halo movie, especially since the property has made $2 billion since the first Halo game was released back in 2001. In an article about the game's success, Variety notes that a feature film is still in Microsoft's sights, so much...

A movie adaptation of Halo is a terrible idea. Why in the hell do we need an adaptation of something that is already cinematic in nature and has already been fully realized. Or do we think that games are incapable of conveying a story in the same caliber as a film.

I mean adapting a book into a movie is something that I can understand, but a video game is pointless.

This is probably why every movie based on a video game has been terrible ;/

Hey those movies are good. I do agree that they could have been better, but they are the best movie based off a game i've seen. I enjoyed them more than i thought i would. =)

but on subject.. a halo movie...hmmm..no....i dont even like the games so i wont go see this movie

Well it really depends on when the movie takes place in the Halo lore, like Sexy said about how they make books into movies, maybe they could make one of the books into a movie, maybe one of the prequels. It would be pretty sweet to see the Spartans train to be ultimate killing machines.

Prince of Persia is certainly better than most, but not a really good movie.

Mario Bros was great, Doom was good, Max Payne was interesting. Great as movies but based on the game no.

 

[Rukus.]

Doom was cool and Mortal Kombat: Rising is going to kick ass, Postal was funny as hell.

People want a Halo movie because Halo is the Star Wars of the gaming world (Mass Effect is the Trek ) with so many characters, personalities, and races seen in the world and heard of in the books. The possibilities for a Halo movie are endless.

 

[Boo-Yeah!!]

Just let the Halo series die off already. Microsoft needs to stop playing the same card and game. Honestly can they not come up with any new ideas besides repacking halo with new graphics and an more defined story of something that has already happened in the universe...

No matter what, if this Halo Movie comes it WILL be awful.

Mario brothers, Doom, Max Payne, street fighter, mortal kombat, Dead or alive, far cry, silent hill, bloodrayne, hitman, prince of persia....

all sucked

What if they all followed the plot of the game instead of making their own?

I would definately watch the Mario Bro's run in a straight line jumping.
Or the sequel for mariokart, and super mario sunshine, mario party, etc.

Halo Legends is out already, and not going into the quality there is your Halo movie. So sad to see Microsoft pull out of a feature-length movie because of Neil Blomkampf - although they must regret it themselves if they've seen District 9 (Which everyone should see).
