But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty you need only look into a mirror.

Hi,
This came to me while trying to gain sponsorship for the RSPCC, now that noone is willing to back the halo movie why don't we try to raise money for it. Yes, a film cost millions of dollars and I can see halo costing 8-10 million which we cannot raise but we can at least help.
Presently we have 42000 players on halo 2, over 422000 in the last day, if everybody donated £1 or $2 (there about equal, trust me) then we would raise about 500000 for the film and lower the cost of the money needed to be supplied by paramount, fox or any other film company.
I know many people would give a little more to the film too.

What do we get in return, a decent film I reckon after the amazing battles in Lord of the RIngs, if you watch the extended additions of Lord of the RIngs, at the end of the credits everybody who was in the fan club had there name posted in text on the screen. If we raised money, maybe Peter Jackson or whoever would put everybody who donated money at the end of the credits. Making it special to us. I would give a lot for that.

Honestly, Bungie would have to run this as I wouldn't trust one of us to open a charity account and raise this money but I do think it would be beneficial to anybody who wants the movie.

Lets get raising.

$8-10 million for a Halo movie? Whoa! Now that would be cheap. For Spiderman 3 I have seen costs of $270 to $500 million, the latter with marketing costs figured in. The cost to make the entire LOTR trilogy was around $640 million. I'm not saying that it couldn't be less than that, but $8-10 million for a film is chump change and your proposed possible ~$500,000 fan donations would be enough to pay for the catering and grips most likely.

No man, for a second robocop -like movie the producer should find his own funds. If the script is good and the marketing with a ROI looks clear, the big boys will invest in Halo. The first thing to do is to get a movie scenario, a script, the story! Not the money...
