There should by all means be a movie, if you can get the right people to do it.
I think it should follow the game storyline relatively closely, but follow the books as well. They had exellent storylines that tied into the game's storyline flawlessly. It would probably work best as a CG, so you could keep the original voices.
I've read posts that say it should be Anime, and I think that's rediculous. The immensely detailed world of Halo would be completely lost. Fools.

Dvota, I am also on this thread. Someone suggested earlier that I leave this thread and go get a job. You may not have noticed, but today is Sunday, and most Americans don't work on Sunday. In fact, the only reason I am here is because Bungie rocks, and I'm bored out of my mind.
Several days ago, I thought the "Halo Movie Thread" seemed quite interesting, if improbable. Yet, after reading 30+ pages of the same weak, grade-school caliber creativity, I feel that it is time to stop. Most of you have nothing new to say, yet you say it anyway, thereby wasting valuable brain space for those who are actually interested in this topic.
To keep hammering at it is really counterproductive. That being said, I feel that this forum should be a place where visitors and members can express and receive ideas across the entire spectrum--for and against. Saying that people are free to express their opinion as long as it matches yours is a little tyrannic. And, as it turns out, it kind of pisses me off.
So, not so much out of interest as out of a sense of justice and duty, I flex my First Amendment and repeat, the Halo movie idea, as developed in this thread, is wankiest pile of cow tar ever produced by a human mind. And, inasmuch as you continue to repeat your opinion, I will repeat mine, ad hoc infinitum, or until my wife gets home.

No way! just read the books by Eric Nylund and I can assure you that they will be better than the half-ass halo movie with its only purpose is money forgetting the story.

To matticus, you sir, are a prick. a stupid, annoying, and all around idiotic prick. I wish you nothing but bad fortune for the rest of your life. I hope you die an agonizing death when your time comes. Until then, i am afraid to say, I have to put up with you. even grim rupert isn't as stupid and annoying as you. So, F**k off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To macco31, i have indeed read all the books and i loved them I still think a movie could be done though.

Most Esteemed Ropie,
A new goal for you should be to try to keep from taking it personally. It's not like this Halo movie idea is your mother.
But while we're giving eachother advice, try this: a. learn to spell, b. learn English grammar, and apply it to your posts (try the preview button), and c. twenty-three exclamation marks (this one, "!") are the childish icing to an already immature post.
Also, we're supposed to present "well-thought out" ideas when we post. I contend that your most recent outing does not fall into that category. Regardless, thank you for your opinion, and a Halo movie is a terrible idea.

For expressing his opinion in a (somewhat brutally) honest manner? Talk about hipocrisy...

I guess you did say one thing that I (and probably mattacus too) agree with. You did forget the 'am' but I can overlook that.

Stop getting of topic. As far as i'm concerned, if it is relevant to the topic, you can post it. Don't just go out of your way to b!tch at someone, or everyone else who posts here, like Mattacus post for example...

CG, live action wouldn't work, or it would look like crap, and anime would just plain look like crap.

In my humble an honest opinion i think that there should be a halo movie, i don't honestly care if it is live action or CG, but if it is live action the only way it would work is if the special effects were done by Industrial Light and Magic (the company that has done ALL of the Star Wars and the last two terminator movies)

MasterCheif420 and Mattacus DO have valid concerns, but my opinion is if they never make a movie, we'll never know whether it would have sucked or rocked. So why not give it a least a shot, it won't make any of the games less fun.

If they were to make it live action, I'd prefer if they stayed away from ILM, go for WETA instead, ILM puts to much 'gloss' in their SFX. WETA made LTOR look real, the newer SW movie just should not have been done.

I believe that Halo is one of the few games that could make a great Action movie. But for it to be successful, i think the fans and bungie should have alot of input, except the nerdy ones there too frantic and retarded to input any useful information. But seriously, if its done right, it could win movie of the year on MTV Movie awards in June. Wouldnt that rock? But alot of thought has to go into it because we couldnt just slap silverster stallone in MJOLNIR Armor, cause that would blow. Serious Actor combing would have to be done to find the perfect person to play masterchief, sarge, keyes, etc. And I do not have the answers for you, except i think Gene Hackman would make a good Keyes. Just dont make anime, cause anime sucks.

Thats a very valid point Sathe Athear, but I have just always been a fan of ILM, even if it dosent look as real as it could sometimes, the cartoonieness just kinda adds to the fantasy of it somehow (i apologize for inventing a word there), and ILM did do Terminator 3, which in my opinoin kicked some serious ass
