I would really like to see 10,000 posts in this thread by November 9th. That would make this thread not only the most popular (duh!), but would also play an integral role in how Microsoft and Bungie look at the proposition of a Halo Movie after Halo 2 sells. It would undoubtably show them that we are taking this concept VERY seriously and we should be heard. 10,000 posts would consume this forum and overshadow the other threads made. We gotta keep pushing on to make our voices heard. This is Bungie's OFFICIAL forums. I do not doubt Bungie employees stop by here once and a while to see what's going on in the community. So as long as we make this a big deal, they'll see the advantages a good Halo movie could bestow on them.

With all the posts that'll come to this thread in the future months, this one thread alone will go down in Bungie history as, "The Cry of the Many!" Hmmm, does that sound a little too System Shock to anyone? lol, anyway, KEEP POSTING!

:D Let our voice be heard! :D

(Cries)... oh... wait... I see. Ahem, well, yeah, hopefully the Bungie guys are paying attention to this, but we have yet to see any sign of anyone, although I guess they feel that to show their face on any one forum would make them look like they are taking favourites... or that the other forums dont matter... so then theyd have to post in every forum, and then - god help us all - instead of 40 odd pages of us fans spouting crap weed have Frankie and Louis going hammer and tong about who had the classier pants and afro wig

So after all this talking about a Halo movie, who would you recommend as a director to such a great basis as Halo Crazy Turkey? We all know who should write the movie: Bungie. You've been reponding to these threads a lot so a couple of ideas to the making of this movie should've popped into your head along the way. Could you share a couple?

So heres a question just randomly thrown out to everyone, due to the fact it has been mentioned on occasion, but hasnt really been talked about, nor elaborated upon...

How would you feel about there being the inevitable multiple Spartans in the movie (unless it was based entirely on the game)?

Personally, I reckon it would be one of the key 'make' (from 'make or break' fame) points of any movie. Are people not tired of the 'solitary hero' movie? Even if there are multiple protagonists, the rest are usually completely uselss... but these Spartans are tough killing machines fully capable of operating individually, but far superior when working as part of a larger unit... as tough as the MC is, I dont know if I want him to cheesily overrun entire enemy positions by himself...

Sure thing chief... (for the record, I do try and keep adding new stuff and ideas to keep things flowing)

To be honest, Im not sure about any director... all have a certain style of their own and I cant think of any that would fit any Halo movie exactly... I think I said it many pages backl actually.. yeah, that right. Err... what was it? oh yeah. I would have to say that since every cinematic in Halo has a director, he'ed (or sheed) be my favourite choice for who to direct the movie.

Personally Im in favour of a live action/CG combo film, with the main actors being (blank means I dont know)

MC: Tim Robbins
Cortanas Hologram: same CG cortana, same voice I guess
Capt Keyes:
Sgt Johnson: Samuel L Jackson

And from the books...

Admiral Whitcomb: Ron Pearlman
Lt Ackerson: Edward Norton
Cpl Locklear: Vin Diesel
Dr Halesly: Possibly that chick from Solaris

When I remember more stuff ill be sure to report back...

You're absolutely right. I've seen that too many time in movies and I hate seeing some Rambo stunt as a one man army. It's overused and many times overexaggerated. I would love to see the movie involve more than one Spartan with the MC leading his team (or dividing it into squads when the need arises). Now comes the question of how each member would be "unique" among the others so that the audiance doesnt get confused. Maybe an arm patch or a specific weapon a spartan carries, I dunno. But multiple Spartans would make the experience that much better. Plus there could be so many situations in that having more that one teammate could not only be useful but to an audiance, more exciting to watch. Plus if a character is developed well enough, someone walking out of the theatre could be fond of a spartan other than the MC. Those aspects would make a great movie in my opinion.

No problem about the piss thing. We're all just having a good time here right? It's all fun and jokes. Plus the occasional serious comment here and there. All fun.

This is indeed a difficult problem, the one of indiviuality... perhaps they could use their coms a bit more (just claim they are scrambled and untracable for plot reasons)... also, quite a few of the Spartans do have a favourite weapon...MC prefers his MA5B, and Linda her sniper rifle, for instance... perhaps this could be further expended, but I think that it would be wrong to, say, make each Spartan into a particular team member, making Fred the gunner and Will a grenadier, for instance, as this would totally go against the whole Spartan concept of a flexible, versatile strikeforce.

Perhaps physical characteristics and triats could be added... one Spartan has a tendancy to close with his enemy and engage in melee combat, for instance.

Maybe size or body mass could be used as a decider? Kelly could be sleek and visibly agile. Fred could be somewhat bigger than most. Or maybe just personality wise they could be somewhat different? Like what is always said about snipers is that they are very conservative and discreet, not very social. So maybe they could have Linda seem more shady than the rest but an integral part of the team's survial nonetheless. Just some ideas....

Well I think that's all for me tonight Crazy Turkey. I live over on the East Coast of the United States and it's 4:00 in the morning over here. I think I'll get some sleep and be on at around noon tomarrow. I need my 8 hours of sleep. Good night Crazy.....

And good ideas at that... youd be a valuable addition to my team... now all I need is a team.

All I know for certain is that the Spartans CAN NOT have multiplayer colouring, as was suggested... I dont know if white is very good camo. Nope, nope, I take it back... multiplayer colouring!! Green guy goes bush, Blue guy hides in the water, White guy in the snow, and Red hides in the huge piles of his fallen enemies!! Plus, you could have plenty of cracking one-liners like "Dammit!!! Spotted again!! Man, who made my suit 'Salmon'?!!

No, wait, that wouldnt work at all, talk about a crap idea. The Red guy couldnt hide cause Covenant blood isnt red... sheesh!!

lmao! Good points all around! I cant wait to get back on and resume the chatting mayhem tomarrow. But at this point I think it's only me and you on. Why dont you try back later and see if anyone else wants to talk about a Halo Movie concept. Now's my time to leave and get some rest. See ya tomarrow Crazy Turkey.

I agree there should be a Halo movie and I agree with MasterChief420 when he says Bungie needs absolute control.I agree they do need absolute and I mean ABSOLUTE control, they should even decide what air the cast breathes! Hollywood, befouling the holy truth that is Halo's storyline? And the thought of Cortana being real and the MC's love interest? Pure blasphemy gentlemen, like saying the Gamecube is better than the Xbox (GC lovers don't hate me). Anyway she's already the sassy sidekick. But how the hell is he supposed to cram her into his head? See give Hollywood an even half decent storyline (for a Video game) and they'll practically destroy it (but there are your fair share of great movies as well). I mean have you ever watched Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat? Gleh! Total flops, damn me Jean Claude Van Damne? What the f@#k were they thinking? He doesn't even speak English correctly not to mention fighting games aren't supposed to have storylines, which is why I can't understand why they want to make a Dead or Alive movie. Well anyway I feel it definately should NOT be a live action, CGI is the way to go I don't think they could create realistic enough looking stuff. Have you seen Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within? Crap movie, jaw dropping graphics. And have you seen the trailers for Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children? My god, they're better than regular actors anyday. If there is a Halo movie coming out then as long as Bungie puts their hands on it, well we'll have cinematic gold won't we folks (hopefully)?. Thanks for listening to a crazed teen's rantings. Muhaha November the 9th people! Can't wait!

P.S Please don't flame me or try to kill me or anything I'm a newbie!
