I really believe that a Halo movie should be done except it should be done in CG, and maybe with the same guy who has his voice right now

i know no-one is going to read this, but if Bungie does decide to do a HALO movie, i think it should be about what happened before the first game. ive read the book and thought it was cool. and if Bungie felt lucky after that movie, they could even do a 2nd movie about what happens betweeen Halo 1 &2

Okay, my local library has one copy of each book and I have to wait god only knows how long till they come back but soonI will know what you are all talking about, dammit. If i wasn't a broke ass (spent the last of my cash on the damn invisible Elite toy with the phat sword) I would go to the bookstore and actually buy one!

P.S..None of my friends really give a rats ass about HALO so I cannot bring anyone in on this board. Also, only played multiplayer once and got schooled, HARD!

I utterly LOVE this idea and every since i beat Halo I wondered if they were going to do such a thing. But, I was wondering, would the movie be baised off of the three books or just the game? Cause I would be honored to play the roll of 13 year old Kelly! :]~ Rofl, I'd shave my hair and everything! WooT!

Definintly off the books, for a couple reasons. People first watching the movie would not know how the Master Chief came about, thought that might not be all that important? I would say definintly off the books though, if not, forget the movie.

Yes there should be a halo movie because there are books, toys, and games and they might as well make a halo movie just to go along with it. It would be cool to actual see the movie instead of just reading them from the books and games. The hale movie would also probly be a good hit in movie theaters or if it came out on dhs or dvd alot of people would buy it most likely. The halo movie would be aswome because you could see alot more see grunts, hunters, elites and stuff in real life grahpics. Sure it would be really hard to make that movie because the hole halo ring, all the covenant, all the flood, they would either have to higher or make the grunts and stuff out of robots or poeple. The movie might even get to go out to the UK and other countries outside the US if a lot of people like it. Bungie a lot of people and I mean a lot of people would love a halo movie others probly wouldn't like it because it would ruin the seires, but also other people might not even care. So there should be a halo movie just for the fans, and besides if they dont make a realistic movie chances are that a animated halo movie will come out like the Animatrix of the Matrix. So would you pepople like a real movie or a cartoon movie???? I for one just choose the realistic movie, sure in the cartoon they could do a lot more tough in the real one would most likely just be a lot better.

as for you all being worried about voice actors for cg, i have a great idea how bout they do it with the characters who played em in the game?and the movie would have to be set somewhere in the halo universe & time where the present game and books dont cover because the game and the books dont have enough diologue. but if bungie basically can slap some mook upside teh head for coming up with stupid side ideas and can basically tell them what to make the movie about i would be all for it.

Mustafulaq, man, you need to chill somewhat. Sure a heartfelt arguement is good, but writing every single thing in caps just makes people ignore your messages rather than paying attention to them. Plus, caps is the net equivalent of shouting... so you must truly be hoarse. This aint meant to be an insult dude, just some friendly advice. And Oz is Australia, not the mythical land from the Wizard of Oz... and Im in NZ if anyone cares since we seem to be gettin all lovey dovey here.

Who suggested Kurt Russel to play the MC? I honestly just cant see him in that role... true, in soldier he played a heartless killing machine, but that movie reeks of cheese, and at least some of that blame must fall on the lead actors shoulders. Hmm... heed make a bloody good CPO Mendez though. Ha! Theres and idea... we should all start coming up with the perfect person to play the roles, not just the MC.

Who could play Sam?
Who could play Admiral Stanforth and Admiral Whitcomb?
The Evil Colonel?
Etc

Give it a go folks, its good for a laugh I say...

I reckon they should get Vin Diesel to do a voice. His voice is cool, like "You're not afraid of the dark, are you?" tipe stuff. And he suits the Halo atmosphere. He's cool. Hmm. Yes, well, that's all I have to say.

THIS IS A MESSAGE TO BUNGIE:
I've recently discovered the fact that german director Uwe Boll wants to buy the rights to the Halo movie. DO NOT LET HIM DO THIS! If you let that German idiot piece of -blam!- direct the Halo movie, I will find a crowd of angry peasants and storm Bungie Studios. He has already run one video-game franchise into the ground (House of the Dead), and he's probably going to do it again to Alone in the Dark. I don't care how much money he offers you, the most you should give him in return is a swift kick in the crotch. I repeat, Uwe Boll is an evil man who should never direct movies ever again.

End of line.

AN amusing but powerful post, that one. And totally true. To be fair, he is just showing his interpretation of the games... it just happens to be a piss-poor interpretation. Most people here dont seem to understand, though, that any director can and WILL give his interpreation of Halo to the audience... which will most likely not be the vision the fans had... Now, who put this vision into the fans heads?

WHY, BUNGIE, OF COURSE!!

So, why hire an outside director? Im confident if I checked my Halo manual at the back in the credits someone would have the prestigious title of 'Cinematic Director'... is that person right there not the absolute perfect choice for the director of any possible Halo movie?

... just a thought...

p.s Im not going to - nor should anyone else - check their manuals for this position, just in case Im wrong... all I need to do is get shot down once and the fragile creditibility I have built for myself will come crumbing down like a house of cards. Slippery well oiled cards. In a gale-force wind.

If any movie was to be made about Halo, it wouldn't be done by a German dude and it would have Samuel L. Jackson as the Sarge, Steve DOwnes as the MC's voice (only) and Jen Taylor as the voice of Cort4na.

And there'd be the cows...

I would say no to making a movie simply because the game is all about action, and if a movie was to stay true to the game, there would be too much action in it and the whole experience would end up being a bit boring. The game is about the experience of living the story, not watching it, and stepping that far outside the experience for most would not have enough intensity in comparison to hold interest. Another quick point is that the core audience for a movie would end up being players who no doubt would have too strong an image of the Halo story and universe to be satisfied with a movie that will not perfectely fit with all of their ideas.

Whatever time and effort that could be spent on a movie would be better spent on Halo 3.

As bungie has already told us in the rumor control no one is allowed to by the rights of halo under a movie. Halo is unique as i said and it won't be sold to anyone...

Please! Samuel L. Jackson! Hell no! Get someone that actuallly looks like the Sarge, a seasoned veteran. Why not the man that did the Sarge's voice?

They could easily make - up him some a bit to appear older.
