As to the actor who plays Master Chief, i would go for Jackie Chan (seriously). Leave the same voice in as in the game, but have Jackie in the suit. Think about it, how quick and nimble is he. He would be able to do all the side steps, melee's, jumps, everything. And if the movie was not live, i would say have a mixture of 2D and 3D animation, its seen in alot of anime these days, and would make the Armor look alot more sleek and shiny. Fully computer generated movies are very good (like Final Fantasy/Final Flight of Osiris:Animatrix) but rarely show very fast pased action like you would find in anime (like Ninja Scroll/Dragonballz). I think animation like Akira's, but with intergrated CG (like in Last Exile) to make for more frenzied action as you would find in the halo game. To do all the explosions and aliens and backgrounds in complete CG would not work as good as it would in Anime form. I think it would also be cool to do a mini-series like the Animatrix to fit around the series, with all different animation styles. And Michael Ironside would make a good Keyes.

You have got to be insane. JACKIE CHAN!!!!!!! Are you crazy? he is a little chinese ninja man. I like the idea of the guy who wrote the really long entry in this on the last page, about how vin deisel coudn't play MC. But givin the choice between him and jackie chan. i would take Vin deisel. And Live action would be way better than anime.

I think there should be a Halo Movie of some sort. But not Anime. I would hate to see an Anime Halo Movie. It would be better either CG or First Person, like in the Game. That would be cool. They could have the Sheild Meter, Bullet Count, and Radar on Screen the whole time. That would be what I want a Halo Movie to be like. It should be about the Books. The Fall of Reach to First Strike and possibly into Halo 2. And also just get the same people to do the voices in the Game. But get new Voice - Actors for the New Characters. I would like to have Bungie in control of it too. Hell Bungie could make it themselves probally. So no Dumbass Hollywood Director could screw it up. That would make a cool Movie.

I definetly think that a halo movie should be made. The story line in the game and novels are so in depth and then u have so much action i think a halo movie would get some good ratings. If it is made i hope the film does well and has a good directer. I dont want to see the halo franchise take a hit to the gut cus some retard made the movie only appeal to the fans. I really want to see the film grab the attention of people that wouldn't normally see a movie based on a game. All in all tho i'm all for the idea.

Listen both Vin Diesel and Jacki Chan would both develop a terrible reputation dug out for them. Imagine Arnold on the screen. Ha! Both the thing is that nobody should be Master Cheif because his face is a mystery. It should be someone from the Bungie Staff with the voice who acted for Master Chief in the game. But we really need a bunige person in HERE! But how? I know there's a contact button but I just can't press the link...let's just say I'm a coward.

You know something guys...I've just learned if we keep talking on this forum about this one thing we love so much which is for a halo movie---how can we ever get a clear message to bunige, how can we ever suceed in bringing out a halo movie. I'm mean we could talk forever about a HALO MOVIE, but then there's a reality check...it might never ever come out! The thought just makes me want to cower to convenant from the game (Halo)! I mean I don't have much of an idea how..BUt i'm sure if we come up with ideas things might go well...maybe..just maybe.......

Hey Rouge spartan...a mobile game for halo is a little bit too much to ask for because right now we're trying to figure out a way to get a Halo moive. Forget about the mobile game. Concentrate more on the bigger issues.

Ok Have you read the books? He does take his armor off a few times and alot of the ODST's see him. I think LT. Mckay Might've had a thing for him. but yeah people do see his face so we will need an actor

I know many games turned into movies were bad (tomb raider, mortal kombat, etc.) but we're talking about Halo. Halo blows all those games out of the water. Of course filmmakers would have their work cut out for them but a real Halo fan would still be in line waiting to buy Halo 2 .


Agreed halo is a much better game thenall of those mentioned however, it doesnt mean th film directors wont find something to mess up. its funny people thought george clooney should play the chief because a wide variety of my friends said the same thing

Ropie man. You're right. We do need an actor but the voice has to be the same. Maybe the guy who did the voice for him in the game Halo might be pretty good. we just need to see if he's actor material. One more thing...who said that tobey mcguire should be the actor for master Cheif. that's be really scarey.

OK I think a halo movie would be cool, but if there was a movie I think that it should take a diffrent angle on the story (me never reading the books) An angle like a fresh noob first day out of training or a groop of fredom fighters on earth and Boom! yes the MC can be there later in the movie (what I've seen from the 2003 E3 halo preview the covenent have been on earth for a while before the MC got there any way) It doesant have to follow the MC is all I am saying it could even be from the point of view from the covenet (why such a massave ge-had for as I understand it... just tresspassing...<--kinda harsh) and what about 343 spark where did he go?.... Anyway if there is a halo movie I would like it see if I could do a voice or if it is live action be an extra.

The Halo movie would have to be done by someone who loves Halo so much, he has played through the game on ledgendary by himself more than once. I notice alot of movie influence in Halo, Predator, Robocop, Alien and Soldier. I would love it if Kurt Russel played The Master Chief, and at the very end he takes off his helmet and reveals what he looks like as he surveys a battlefield of torn and wretched destruction and chaos. I think that would be cool.

See that's a good idea but we need the creators of halo to hear but I'm going to first monitor this forumuntill we, the people of this underground forum think of something. I know htere's a contact button or link but I mean it's kind of risky.....I don't how but...This is perhaps the biggest forum in the BUngie network. We just need to get more poeple to join. Especially this forum. People of this forum hear me out: get your freinds, anybody, to join this particular forum. If this forum becomes large enough Bungie will realize our true love for a Halo movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trust me on this one. so just keep typing nad get more freinds to join in, but only those who lve the game halo. come on, let's do this. Halo is precious to the world. DOOM 3 HAS ALREADY BEEN VOTED SCARIEST GAME THIS YEAR! THAT'S NOT TRUE. Nothing can match halo. Halo's different... Alot different...

After much pondering, I think I've come up with the man who is best suited to play the Chief. He's 6'10, 40'ish, buff, has pasty white skin, and could sound like the MC with the aid of a voice coach. His name is Marcus Calloway, AKA THe Undertaker! If the movie is gonna be live action, he'd be the best choice. Then again, if he was cast, half of the movie's budget would have to go into covering up his tattoos. IF not him, then just make the Chief all digital, along with Cortana, 343 Guilty Spark and the covenant. And if Vin Diesel MUST be involved, he could lend his voice to an elite.

And as for doing the Darth Vader thing, it worked for Vader because he wasn't the main character, he was the villain. Hiding his face made it difficult for the audience to identify with him, lending to the cold, unemotional persona that is ideal for a villain. That being said, the Master Chief would have to be seen without the armor so the audience can connect with him better. If he keeps the helmet on, he'll be little more than an overgrown power ranger. *shudders*

Hey he's right. if we get enough people to keep typing entries in this forum, they might actually make the Movie. Kick ass!!!!!!! oh and by the way, i was talkin bout tim robbins playin MC. he's not my favorite actor, but he does have the body and i think the Darth vader thing is a good Idea. We could use MC's real voice from the game. But if before they even THINK about makinga movie, we will need to agree on how it should be done. I say lets use CG AND live action. lets use MC's voice and a really tall, buff( but not too buff) guy for MC. HALO FANS, IF YOU LOVE HALO AS MUCH AS YOU SAY YOU DO, THEN WE SHALL ALL UNITE TO CREATE ONE GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you all have terrible ideas, you would be, unfortunatly, the only ones to go see it. An Anime style film would suck, anyone who suggested that should be killed immediatly, a CGI film, sure, that will do fine, remember how awsome Final Fantasy did in the box off...twits. Live action, that would be a little better, but what you people fail to realize, after being told dozens of times, is that Bungie MUST sell the rights to Halo to a studio, which means that after that, they do nothing but share in the profits, and Bungie does not have the capacity to make a film. In short, you're all twits.
