I reckon they should make Halo into a movie but get someone who isn't going to screw it up and knows at least what the plotline is in the game. It would probably be easier to make it a CGI because lets face it it'd be hard to make, say grunts look about as real as you or I. Bring on the movie!

Yeah Vin would suck if there was a movie about Halo.Sure he sounds deep but he dont sound old like MC.I suppose your right Bloodywheels.Vin wouldnt do good.
Posted by: Bloodywheels
There is no word to describe just how wrong casting Vin Diesel would be. Sure his voice is deep, but he still doesn't sound any thing like the Chief. That's like saying, "Isaac Hayes would make a good Master Chief cuz he has a deep voice." Also, Vin is a craptacular actor. But Isaac Hayes would be good as the Master CHEF! He'd protect South Park from the Covenant while singing songs about makin' sweet love down by the fire!

The movie should be in CG, but the voice of master chief played by the voice actor from the game(s),but the gent from star wars who plays Jango fett with maybe some bionics to give him a more 'Altered' feel i feel he could play the physical part very well. that's my opinion anyway, please continue the discussion its quite interesting to read what all these bungie fan's have to say.

I SPENT A HALF HOUR ON MY OPINION WHEN THE POWER WENT OUT SO HERE'S A SUMMARY.

THE POINT OF HALO IS REALISM NOT CORNY ANIME AND CG. (THUS IS A COOL WORD) AND YOU COULD HAVE A VERY GOOD UNKNOWN ACTOR, WHO RESEMBLES THE DESCRIPTION, PLAY A YOUNG MASTERCHIEF. LIVE ACTION ALL THE WAY!

NOTE: BY LIVE ACTION I DO NOT MEAN CHILDREN IN GRUNT COSTUMES (LIKE THE EWOKS FROM STAR WARS)

the whole point of halo has always been, and will forever be, to tell a story. i am perfectly happy to live the story, rather than witness it.

but if one came out, i would see it.

I really think there should be a Halo movie. I mean just by playing the game is like a thrill. I can imagine what would the movie would look like if they made one. But I mean just like Reiginko said, "If there are no Halo films made, I won’t take it personally." That's the same way I feel. I mean it's not like the end of the world if they don't make one. If they do then of course I'll see it.

nonononono
masterchief would end up as some geek with paper stuck on to him with a prit stick 4 armour. captain keyes will end up as yoda with stilts. cortana will be like grandma.
the flood will be like -blam!-'s dressed up as barney the purple dinosaur. and, it wont work.

After reading all the posts, here is my position. It would be cool if they they made it into a movie, and I would see it, but it dosen't matter. Now, I've changed my mind from my previous post. Instead of saying no to live action and yes to CG, I'm now undecided. I simply can't reach a decision, since both could be incredibly awesome, as long as the didn't go to over the edge with live action (kids running around in grunt costumes). As for actors, I really don't know. Probably unknown ones. Also, I would be ok with seeing the mastercheif's face when he is young, but when he is an adult, since he spends most of his time in his armor, it wouldn't to difficult to hide is face, and I would opt for that. As for Cortana, she would have to be CG, no matter what. How could anyone think that she could be an actor? I'm fully aware that she is essentially a copy of Halsey's brain, but that dosen't mean that she looks like Dr. Halsey. And, I know nothing about directors, so I'm not going to throw any names out there. I still think that Bungie should basically be holding the reigns, but as someone (I'm terrible with names) said, I think it could work if bungie simply wrote the screenplay or the script or whatever.

ok thats kinda my idea, it needs to have action but a little emotion too, like Saving Private Ryan(my favorite movie by the way), but it can't be anime, don't get me wrong, there is some good anime out there and I like it, but it wouldn't work for Halo, another opinion, a Halo movie shouldn't be based entirely on one of the games, it should be either The fall of reach, or first strike with part of the games. next, CGI or Live Action, I don't care, both would kick ass, last my choice for the MC...................Bruce Willis.

ok I got more to say, Halo could easily be live action with real locations and actors, but make the aliens CG, simple. Also, if anyone has seen the movie Soldier, the first 15 minutes or so is exactly like the Spartan 2 training, It could just as well be the beginning of the Halo movie!..................................OK maybe Bruce would be a better Keyes, he's gettin old, of course the adult Master Chief is around 40

Well, ok, first off, I just want to say that, of course, if a Halo movie was to be made, it'd have to be done right. Now then, here's my opinion of what "right" would be:

If a movie was to be made anytime soon, it'd have to follow the events of The Fall of Reach. People have been saying that they could make a movie out of the game, but they couldn't put any weak one liners of love interests or anything in it. Think about that. The game is all about running around shooting things, and that wouldn't make a very interesting movie. There's no character development, no human interest side to that. Sure, they could make a CG movie that'd blow your mind visually, but the movie as a whole would do just that; blow.

So, if you ask me, the best Halo movie to make would be one that fills in the back story. The development of John into Masterchief would be a great story. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that the makers of a Halo movie could learn a lot from Sarship Troopers. The book, written by one of the greatest science fiction writers ever, Robert Heinlein, was a great story of the development of a greenhorn soldier into a well respected, kickass war hero. There were interesting characters that you actually cared about that grew throughout the book. Then some jackass comes along and makes the movie adaptation. I think we all know how that turned out. It was exciting, and maybe you cheered for the good guy in the end, but it was a hollow shell compared to the book, and to what the movie could have been if done right. If anyone of you have any doubts about what I'm saying, I'd strongly suggest you go out and read Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein. It's a great book by itself, and it actually has much the same feel as the Fall of Reach, another great book.

So anyway, if a movie is to be made, I would strongly suggest that it follow the events of The Fall of Reach. Live action would be ok, but I think CG would allow the creators to stick closer to the feel that's already been established by the game(s).

i definitely think ther should be a halo movie putying a face on the chief who ever said would ruin it they cant help but put a face on him if they make the fall of reach because their gonna haft ta chiefs face when he was a kid and a teenager and partly when he was an adult so they cant really help it

I think Halo should be a movie. I am thinking a prequel based off the the prequel novel. This could be the greatest film ever! That is if a good director, writer, aswell as good actors were found, not to mention a huge amount of money. I am very surprised one didn't come out after Halo came out. I am pretty sure one will come out after Halo 2.

In theory a Halo 2 movie wouldn't be a bad thing.

However, do any of you honestly believe, that:

1. They'd make it with CG animation techniques.
or
2. That whoever would make it wouldn't screw it up?

There's no chance that a Halo movie would come out the way we as fans would want to see it. Sorry. There's a 1:1,000,000 chance that it'll be as good as we want it. I suppose if they could make Lord of the Rings into a good movie they could do the same with Halo. The only problem I see is that it was never planned to be shown as a movie. Because of this, either there won't be a movie or the movie will be terrible. I'm against the making of a Halo movie solely because I don't trust anyone to get it right.

The people at bungie are the only ones to be trusted with Halo and they are not movie makers they are game makers. They should stick with what they are good at not waste time and money on something that probably wouldn't be that great. Think of all the other movies turned games or vice-versa, with the exception of Goldeneye, they all suck. Or even think of books turned movies there are very few movies that come even close to being as good as the books. Halo is already a beautiful, wonderful, entertaining, thing why risk ruining the name of Halo. A Halo movie shouln't and couldn't be made.

anything can be made in to a great movie...if steven spielberg could make "the Terminal" a worthwhile movie...imagine then what he would do with the halo story? given the right director...producers...and stuff like that...rest assured halo can be turned into a very great movie...it has aciton..suspense..drama..controversy...humor...and all the necesarry elements that would turn it into the best movie ever...its all about how people handle it ..its would also make a good trilogy...

Either way I don't mind but some guidelines for a movie.
1. Bungie must agree with the final project, they don't have to have total contral but the director should follow their master plan.
2. The director should be kinda like Peter Jackson, not well none (so he doesn't have a rep to worry about), and a fan of the game
3. Live Action with Covenant done like the Hobbits and Gollum
4. No big time and/or well known actors
5. MC and Cortana have to keep their game voices, everyone else can be changed SOME, not completely.

I'll finish this later I have to go.
