I think it depends on who bought it. If someone like New Line Cinema bough franchise rights then hell yes it could become an awesome movie, a tad bit on the star wars geeky side because it's based off the video games but it would still be nice to watch unless it turns out like the Mario movies. Those are terrible.

well I had a look on IMDB but there seems to be no sign of it unless they arnt calling it Halo
that site is the best when it comes to movies coming out even years in advance - they even have Superman Returns on there but no halo.

A Halo movie? I dunno, it'd probably get loads of hype, mostly manufactured by bungie, maybe some misleading and pointless website about insects.. then we'd find out the footage of amazing action sequences we'd seen doesn't actually appear in the final film, and that it doesn't have an ending, we'd have to wait for the next film for that. That seems to be bungie's policy now.

It would suck unless they followed the book's storyline. If it was strictly based on the game, it would just deal with MC running around beating the crap out of the Covenant. If it was like Halo: The Flood (the book), which involved the base of operations for the UNSC, missions other than MC's, and took a look at the Covenant side of life....there could be hope. However, it ebtter be real actors and not all CG (they'd have to do CG on the Covenant, obviously). Why watch CG when you could play the game, eh?

The rumor I heard is that the Bungie guys want Ridley Scott, and he's apparently interested.

He would not be my first choice- Paul Verhoven would be the guy I'd want to direct.

Yeah, you can't build a film around just one guy running around, it wouldn't work. You'd have to include Johnson, Cortana, and others to carry the story along. On the up side, they could actually use Jen Taylor to play Cortana, she's a good enough actress and pretty enough.

lol Skippy, do I detect a little bitterness?

A Halo movie, I think, would either make or break the whole franchise. They'd better be careful with that one. I'm just afraid they'll try to tone everything down and "kiddify" the action so the flick gets a PG rating and all the little children can go see and then nag their parents for an xbox if they don't already have one. On the other hand, it could be the best movie ever if they keep it mature and kinda dark-and-disturbing, with some comic relief in the form of fleeing grunts announcing "I just wet myself!"

It would make a great movie no doubt. If they do everything right. And one quick word to MST300, AVP was not "cheesy" at all. It had very good special effects. If you think they suck so much then make a little movie/video of your own with better ones.

Thats right you have just been S.T.O.P.P.E.D.!

Of course did the info you recieved include how many movies they will make. Like will they make one on every book? Or just on one or two? Or will they try to base it on the video games and make them suck? You know like they screwed up Final Fantasy.
