Do I think there should be a Halo movie? Yes, definitely.

Do I think it would be a good movie? No. As a movie, it might be good, but as a movie based off an already set-up storyline, it would probably suck, comparatively.


Perhaps it can be done right and good, like the Lord of the Rings movies... but it'd be extremely hard to do. Here's what I think should be done to help it:

-It should be CG, so badly-chosen actors wouldn't ruin things with wrong looks (like what happened with the Dune miniseries (actors, save Ian McNiece (played Baron Harkonnen) in no way fit the physical description of the characters in the book), although, as a miniseries it was still good). It also gives the people who did the voice overs for the game to do voice-overs for this...

-It should start with the events of The Fall of Reach, with a little bit more explaination of the Human situation of the time, maybe.

-It should be several movies, each following the books, and events in the game that were not described in The Flood.

-It should follow the whole storyline, from The Fall of Reach to whatever.

-If not CG, then the Master Chief should either be another Darth Vader (actor in-suit with voice-over by another actor), or should be played by Vin Diesel.


I agree entirely with you.

I would be glad to make this movie in the future if its not already made.
I also had another idea for the movie(s). What about making a movie off of each book, making four movies/miniseries. It would be just like the books but movie style, couldn't wait for the next movie to come out. It would have lots of suspence, tons of action, and some plot twists mixed in. And I think Bungie would have to be involved with the movie. Also for the Covenant, I think they would be digitaly put in, but the MC and every non-human would be real.

A halo movie should be definately made, i already wrote a script for it using all the voice acting from the game, i got A*'s in school for english so i think it would be a good script, i just don't know anybody who could do somethin' with it, also i think it would be best as a movie with actors, just use lookalikes ( they're everywhere these days ) and use the proper actors for voice overs usin' cgi, problem solved, so if anybody readin' this could use the script or any of my ideas for the film just leave a post because i always read these.

I think that if it were made into a live movie, Ben Affleck should be the Master Chief, since he's in every other movie anyway.
On a serious note, it would be cool to do a CG film, but, it would be too much like Halo 2 will be (see amazing graphics....I CAN touch it....just you wait). A live film would be cool, but the Master Chief should be CG (motion-captured of course). By the time they start making it, CG will have progressed even more, so he would be seamless. Whoever does MC's voice could do the voice. And Liv Tyler could be Cortana.

When I think about it...
Yes he would be great but Arnold the governator would be cool but he is to buff
and his accent is to out of it.

Also if they do make a all out live movie im gonna go see them make it.

dang skippy!!! there should be!! but it shouldn't live action that would suck. you just wouldn't get that glint off his armor. CG's the way to go. No mixed either and the voice artists on the game should be on the movie.

live action would simply suck, besides, I don't see any eight foot actors who have two knees on each leg like Elites do.

I think a live action movie would be perfect. I mean when I was playing House of the Dead before the movie came out, I couldn't figure out how they could have the zombies heads explode. and well look at the movie, it turned out o.k. so im sure they could find a way to have an eight foot elite. I mean they have aliens and have predators so why not master chief.

Micheal Ironside would be an even better voice than Vin Diesel! Awesome suggestion!

Nothing personal, but any one would be a better choice than Vin Diesel! That guy has less intelligence than my dog.

there wouldnt be a real point in making a halo movie because we get to live out the story in real life. im not sayin that i wouldnt go see it but it would be pointless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Almost forgot all u people who think its gunna be real actors it probaly be CGI.

Maybe.

It depends on who you have do it. You have to get the right people to make the movie in order to the story the justice it deserves. Because think about it: how many movies that were based off of, say, a book or something, that completely ruined your take on the story?

HATE IT when that happens.

I definitely think there should be a Halo movie. I also agree with the others about how bungie should have most of the say in what goes into the movie and how it is made. The books would make good bases for the scripts. I am a future digital artist and animator and would love to work on a Halo movie. So the guy/girl who want to be a director of the Halo movie, give me a call in a few years. Later. Peace out!
