If they do make a halo movie I think it would definately have to be anime style. Not the cartoon crap though, it should be like the movie whose name escapes me right now (the one with a meteor lands on earth and another planets spirit is killing stuff and there's crazy orange monsters, and the one military guy uses the zeus cannon to try to kill it but is hurting gaia instead. And if the mosters go through you they take your soul. That one.) Anyway, thats the only way they would be able to do all the cool stunts, explosions, and kick-assly awsome awsome stuff I would expect in the movie. They should base it on the Fall of Reach though, that would be cool. I don't think any actor could capture who the master chief is and if you tried to have actual scenery for the pilar of autumn and stuff (not computer animated) it would end up sucking.
Anyway, there's my two cents. I like to think of it more as like 20 bucks though

Holy crap, like everthing I just said is on the llasr page of this discussion, you all make me sick, I'm supposed to be original, now turn off your computers and give me time to make up something no one else has though of yet, then try to read through this dam long disussion to make sure no one's thought of it. I'm counting to thre
1......
2......
3......


If you're reading this I'm very dissappointed, you're computer should be off by now. Anyway the movie I meant is Final Fantasy: Spirits within as stated by someone on the last page, and i thought is was good. Anyway, I'm sorry if this is like spam but I thought I was original here. Jeez.

A Halo movie would be totally awesome, if done properly as has been said before. I've read the books countless times, and am totally into the game (is it just me, or is November 9th never going to come arouns), and if someone made a movie COMPLETELY by the book (literally), then it would be good. But if someone screwed it up by changing the storie, that would suck. If anyone were ever to make a Halo movie, Bungie would have to be very careful about who they chose to do it (by the way a CG like the Final Fantasy movie, that was cool). I would see any Halo movie made, regardless of who made it, but I hope that it isn't screwed up!

I honestly think that they should make a Halo movie! It would be awsome! Even if it was a cartoon, animation, or real life! Either way, It would be awsome! if they did, I would be first in line at the theatre!!!

Has anyone ever seen the movie Final Fantasy? If that company was still in business they could have made the halo movie, when i first watched the Final Fantasy movie i wasn't sure if it was real actors or anime. I'm all for a halo movie, it'd be amazing, just like the books. The movie would kickass no matter who made it...as long as it wasn't marvel...:D

I thought that the books were good, but I can't agree with the movie being based off the books. I mean, what’s the point? If you read it in a book, why see the same thing in a movie? If they made the movie's story different from the book, it would have surprises that you didn't expect, and you wouldn't be saying "hey, do you know what’s next? A pelican gets shot down!" Or "Three Marines die from a grenade" etc. A different story means a different experience! I think the Halo movie should have a different story!!!

Think, write, and reflect.

Halo has the potential to make a great movie since it a classic battle between good and evil. You have the Faceless numerous, overly-powerful Covenant bent on the annihaltion of the human race. Pitted againest the Humans were are banned together under the flag of UNSC (United Nations) not just the US or some other country. But are fighting a losing battle for the mere survival against the a superior force. It is also the never old storry of the underdog clashing with a gargantuan force, overcoming the odds. When a force is cornered, outnumbered, and outgunned, they can only rely on hope and the own abilities. Here in that moment an epic drama is born.

This is the same scenerio seen in Star Wars, Gladiator, Last Castle, Last Samuria and so on. However, does this gurantee an epic movie? No, but potential does exist. Factors as already mentioned such as directorial take, artistic license, budget, time constraint, and acting ability will most definitly make or break the film.

If it wer up to me...I wouldn't let them make Halo movies simply because Holywood would most likely ruin it (Tomb Raider, Resident Evil). It would ruin the feeling we (you boys not us girls lol) have that we could be master chief, we could relate to him since we don't know that much about how he looks.

But, if they would make movies, I hope that they wouldn't show the MC's face so that we could still relate. Also, MC could be acted out by the real man behind the mask. But all in all...I would go see the movie!!

Sry if this has been posted before but they wouldnt make a movie because they would inevitably have to show MC's face and BUNGIE has said they dont want to so they dont impose on anyone

you wouldnt let them? yeah yeah the hollywood part might be true, but you solved your problem in your own message! as long as they dont show his face, then the movies would be a huge hit!!! as long as whoever makes it consulted with the great people at bungiee, then everything would turn out great.

Someone said that video games turned movies don't turn out well. But remember, Halo is a book turned video game (or vice-versa), and possibly turned movie. I think it would make a great movie. Of course, as with most things, whoever makes the movie would have to do it right, or it would turn out like the Mortal Combat movie (not very good). Of course, since Halo actually has a plot (unlike Mortal Combat), it probably wouldn't be hard to make a good movie out of it.

dont get me wrong i want a Halo movie heck I even have bit of a script made about 1/4 done but im sayin he doesnt always have his helmet on he takes it off all the time and lifts the gold visor so its kinda of tough not to show his face. And if you want to see the script i made ill try to post on a website when its done probably in a month or 2 at this pace.

Just to quickly reiterate a point about any movie which may come out if it was live action... you wouldnt need midgets to play grunts... they stand around 5'6 to 5'8... that aint no midget, unless you are referring to giant midgets.

Plus I say that they DO make it off the books... who cares whether or not we know whats gonna happen... its like pickin up chicks at a bar... you know exactly where its leading, and if anything, that makes it more fun!

Halo has the potential to make a great movie since it a classic battle between good and evil. You have the Faceless numerous, overly-powerful Covenant bent on the annihaltion of the human race. Pitted againest the Humans were are banned together under the flag of UNSC (United Nations) not just the US or some other country.

When a force is cornered, outnumbered, and outgunned, they can only rely on hope and the own abilities. Here in that moment an epic drama is born.

This has given me a new way of looking at the whole story... one one side, you have the faceless Covenant juggernaught fighting to destroy humanity, and on the other side you have the charming charismatic human resistance, yes. But who is the the most effective... the faceless warriors of humanity. You have cold, ruthless, faceless warriors trying to destroy humanity, and cold, ruthless, faceless warriors trying to save humanity. Cool!!

I am all for it, just think, the only real actors you need are marines(their appearance doesn't really matter), and the MC! You could even use the person that voices the MC because of the armor. However, I would like it better if they could keep the rating down, I doubt my parents would let me see an R movie... Also, for my main point it had better not be like the LOTR movies in that they get rid of some supporting characters and scenes, May Mr. Bombadil RIP...

No way the fella... this movie has to be R... otherwise Marines would never EVER be allowed to die EVER... notice in LOTR hordes of Orcs etc got liberally strewn about the place, but oonly a handful of humans died, and they were all cheesy 'must... stay... alive... long... enough... to... say... powerful... last... sentence.............. slo... slo.... slowly...'

you cant agree with movies based off of books eh? then I guess you say that the lord of the rings movies sucked? I agree, but not because they followed the book, but because they didnt. I suppose you say the harry potter movies sucked? they did, but that was because the books sucked too. but seriously, grow up dumbass.
