I've already established my opinion on this topic but I'd like to add this;
There are two viable ways to make a good Halo movie. I agree with others; well done CG or anime. I really don't think any amount of live action would be possible (and still have a good movie, I mean). How would you make a live action in movie where a good part of it takes place in space or at least very un-Earth-like places?
And whoever suggested that Vin Diesel be in the movie....come to your senses, man! Unless it was a joke. Then I say, that was not very funny.
I don't believe an anime version would be that great. I mean, have you ever met the die hard fans of anime? Not just big fans, but the ones who worship the Japanese? The ones that think every movie is made better in Japanese with English subtitles because "Japanese is the language of the master race and everything they do is so totally awesome and everything we could ever possibly churn out as a human society is a big steaming pile of crap because we forgot to follow the utopia of existence that is the Japanese". HAI KAWAII TEE HEE HEE
No matter how good it was they would ruin it with their long greasy picket lines, screaming and chanting phrases in broken Japanese and English mixed together, stuffing jalapeno poppers down their gullets with a mozzarella stick chaser, because no matter how much they want to jump into bed with Japan they will never eat the healthy, wholesome goodness of fish. "This movie is in English!" they would scream with malice in their throats and fire in their doughy eyes. "Die! Die! Go to hell and burn you American swine, but please let me live in your country and take up your space and eat your fast food restauraunts out of business!" And then they would all go home and fap to some -blam!-, another wonderous gift from the bowels of Japan.
Worst case scenario? They would all shed tears in the theatres as their ears are assaulted with -gasp- the ENGLISH LANGUAGE!! Thereby drowning all who would apose the wrath of the vengeful anime Gods, as well as themselves. Then, from a constant lifelong diet of cheetos and mountain dew, gases would build up in their blubbery, useless human shells and they would explode, destroying entire city blocks and slaughtering countless innocent civilians of all races and creeds, as the wrath of a fat whiney fanboy knows no mercy.
That's why an anime film would not work for this particular endeavor. Wanna know why a live action film would suck like a high-end Hoover? Two words; "Mario Brothers". God rest its soul.
That leaves CG. W00t is what I say for CG, w00ts all around. The pinnacle of cinematography should definitely lead the pinnacle of console gaming. They could probably have their own artists do the movies, too, they did such a damn fine job last time around, I don't see why not. I think Bungie would have to be in complete control of it though because...
1. They actually seem to care what people think of their work.
and...
2. I honestly don't think they would have it any other way.
With that said, if Vin Diesel were to take any part in this movie other than financial support, I would be shocked, disgusted, and perhaps slightly aroused. Take in these words, friends. See you when your seen.
