What do you guys think? Think work on the movie will be resumed? Blomkamp's finally got a Feature film under his belt...

I think there shouldn't be a movie.

Because EVERYONE should know how movies "good" based off of a good game comes out.

I reckon if they make a movie it will be garbage and nerdy like Star Wars, or Star Trek. (No offensive to fans of those series)

Now don't be negative. just because every other game movie has been sucky to mediocre, doesn't mean this one will be.

Peter Jackson knows what he is doing!

The new star Trek is absolutely incredible, simply because it is not Star Trek.

But yeah, it will only suck because people want it to suck, because other people told you it will suck.

Peter Jackson isn't making a halo movie. He is making an "interactive experience".

And on the movie standpoint: I think a movie degrades a game because its like watching the most awesomest game you've ever seen, except there is no way to touch the controller.

you are both right and wrong.

Peter Jacson is PRODUCING the movie, and he is making Halo Chronicles.

however, BOTH of those projects are currently on indefinite hold.

If there is a methodical approach to avoid the same outcome that other video game movies quality outcome of the past. then yes it would be great. Yes the books would be the canon, but the script would have to be somewhat changed or it would be to predictable. The story would stay the same. Many read 2001 A Space Odyssy before the movie came out back in the day. No it wasn't a video game but it is one of the greatest Space movies ever. Halo could be just that. It has the potential with the right script, actors, directors and producers. Not to mention the right amount of financial backing. Also I'm not talking a 2 hour movie here. I'm talking a 4 hour movie at most. There is enough information that keeps this story going and keeps it from being boring. Just think of all the freakin damage the MC can unleash just by himself not to mention having other Spartans at his side. Total bedlam. Then the Covenant doing their bit also. Captain Keys is no slouch either.

just watching some of the live action vids for halo makes me want a movie sooo badly. i like the halo story more than i like the game itself... i got halo 2 and halo 3 for the story. i loved halo CE sooooo much. they need to make a movie. even the halo wars movies are awesome, i was sad when forge sacrificed himself.

make a halo movie series... starting from first contact to the finish, and put lots of details in to make the movies longer and more action packed. this story is easy to draw people in... the fight to save humanity, and how everyone fought in their own way. there are so many heroes in this story, and they should all be shown, instead of just showing spartan 117's fight, show the other spartans and show how many times they and the UNSC saved humanity and kept fighting the covies...

hell, even put a covenant story in there too.

I agree!

2001 was a major collaboration too! Kubrick and Clark work together when making the movie.
from imdb trivia:

# Stanley Kubrick initially approached Arthur C. Clarke by saying that he wanted to make "the proverbial good science-fiction movie". Clarke suggested that "The Sentinel", a short story he wrote in 1948, story would provide a suitable premise. Clarke had written the story for a BBC competition, but it didn't even make the shortlist. "The Sentinel" corresponds only to the relatively short part of the movie that takes place on the moon.

# The screenplay was written primarily by Stanley Kubrick and the novel primarily by Arthur C. Clarke, each working simultaneously and also providing feedback to the other. As the story went through many revisions, changes in the novel were taken over into the screenplay and vice versa. It was also unclear whether film or novel would be released first; in the end it was the film. Kubrick was to have been credited as second author of the novel, but in the end was not. It is believed that Kubrick deliberately withheld his approval of the novel as to not hurt the release of the film.

Where did you hear about Chronicles being put on hold?

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

It's very possible that Reach is the interactive movie, in my opinion.

I recently bought the official xbox 360 magazine and it stated that with the Peter Jackson Halo Movie stuck on hold it is likely that it wont come out...so an Indian film maker whose name escapes me at the moment is stepping up to the challenge. His movie will be called Project Chastity and he has invested 60,000 (AUS or US....cant remember) into the new movie. He has already built a Warthog and alot of UNSC props

My troll sense is tingling.

The only good game-based movie I could think of was king of kong, and that was just a mockumentary.

Yeah, Blomkamp's work on the Halo3 game commercial's were inspiring. Hope his new movie does great. people in the the theater watching the trailer were shocked and amazed.

I do hope it is about the fall of Reach too. That would be cool.
