you know im sure that guy three posts up has posted that almost exact same message twice... i cant believe i remembered that, considering how many posts ive read now on this. and sorry celenon ma bruthaaa, i went into town to get some BK... mm BK.

Have any other of the old timers (Ropie Im lookin at you) noticed that many people post here saying that they cant be bothered reading through all these posts (fair enough too), then say sorry if they are repeating stuff, then say EXACTLY the same thing?! thats not an insult, more a complement to all the like minded individuals out there...

Except the guys who come out of nowwhere claiming Vin Diesel. Well, theyre entitled to there opinion... and I guess it is quite collective. But these guys need to be set straight! And by set straight, I mean brainwashed. ONE OF US... ONE OF US...

Well... I have a solution to continuously repeating ourselves. The solution is DOING something about it! (gasp, he CAN'T be serious!!!)

WTF, mates... It's time to actually do something that will most likely change the course of your lives. (downright corny sounding I know) You, any one will do, need to establish the ground rules for the Halo movie (what happens, script, etc.) and go out and make it happen. If the movie isn't cool enough for you to throw your life into it for a couple of months than leave. Now.

First-Y'all need a leader.
Second-Y'all needs to get a bank acount and a trustworthy treasurer
Third-Y'all gotta put some money into the bank account and raise money for the movie
Fourth-Get a quote for the rights to the Halo title and storyline
Fifth-Start meeting on a monthly or weekly basis
Sixth-Start adding to your numbers, delegate jobs 'til all you need is money
Seventh-Beg, plead, and steal money wherever and whenever you can
Eighth-When you have enough cash, you have enough clout, time to bring in some one who can do the work the Halo movie needs. Namely, CG, and FX. And of course you go to ILM.
Ninth-You start publishing trailers and keep begging for money
Tenth-Your there, you and your orginization will show up for your first screening and be amazed at the fan support for you... You will make millions upon millions if you do all this correctly.

I don't expect ANYONE to actually take this seriously. So ladies and germs; it goes like this.

Don't repeat your fellow fanatis. Do take action and make Bungie put you on a hit list, AND make the best Sci-Fi movie of all time.

This is your mission should you choose to except it.

Sounds good. We need a good marine team to ally with the spartans - hey, where's Crazy? He should be here discussing with us? And I havent directly talked to Waffle yet either. They should make us Moderators of this thread, lol.


This is what was really said, And I haven't talked directly to you either.

i beleive that if they were going to make a movie it should be CG because nobody can do the voice of MC other the Mr. Downs himself

Dude, why does Bungie even have this discushion?
Hell ya there should be a Halo movie! People have tried to buy the rights to make a Halo movie. I think that sould suck. If BUNGIE made it, it would kick ass. So I think after Halo 2 makes enough money to make a movie, they should get to work. (That will be about 5 days)

Unless the movie sucks (1,000,000,000,000,000,000:1 ratio that the movie will be good (i'M NOT GOOD at math so i'm hoping that means it will be good)).But Halo can't possibly suck!

NO! WE CAN TALK PERSOnAL! THIS IS A FORUM! ANYWAYS WE MUST MAKE A HALO MOVIE COME TRUE; NO MATTER WHAT OBSTACLES WE MUST OVER COME. WE have a level of experience. We need to make this fantasy and world-known-thought come true, a reality, somethign we can all appreciate! Let's do this... JUST LIKE IN SPIDER MAN 2, Tobey mcguire or peter parker lost all his spidey powers because he kept love inside...Dr. Octavious told him about love and how it would kill a person if he kept it inside. Well this basic scenerio also applies here too. We love Halo. But we need the movie to come out too. But how we may ask each other. We could spend our whole lives on one forum and not accomplsih anything. Man I feel like an idiot becasue I cant even get a bungie employee in here. But spider man at the end told mary jane about how much he loved her. We just need to let Bugnie know how much we love the thougth of a Bungie Movie!

I’ll Weight in on this.
I my self would like to be the director the halo movies.
I’d use the novels a template for the scripts.
It would be live action, but like Lord of the Rings half the movie would be CGI by proxy for the massive war scenes thought out the trilogy soon to be quadtrilogy.
An we could just replace the actors voices with the game ones (like what was done in Star Wars Episode 1 for Darth Maul)
I the movies, at least for me you always try to balance realism vs. fantasy.
The thing I have been thinking about lately is weather to show his face.
You see john as a boy an at 15 an 19 but his final incarnation… I’m not sure… we know him, but we also know that he is not a robot but emotionally robotic out side.
The greatest moment in my mind and in the books is when he said he would give his and the lives of the team to complete his mission and save humanity.
It would be great not like the resent sucky Aliens vs. Predator movie.
An Mortal Kombat 1 was a good movie 2 was just ok.

Of course a Halo movie would be a good idea! If no one makes one soon I'll make one, but I'd need a cast and stuff. I've been thinking about a Halo film for years but I thought I was the only one for some reason, but it turns out hundreds of people want one too. And one of you guys was talking about how hard it would be to make grunts, but I have a solution. Put som Hobbits like Frodo Sam Merry Pippin and Bilbo in Grunt costumes and wall-ah. Gandalf's movie Magic. I fully support a Halo Movie! It would be my f***ing precious. The only way is to stand together as the Rohan man says. But seriously, back to Halo a film would be a great idea and we should all meet up and make a film of our own if Bungie won't help. Think about it, hundreds of Halo fans = Halo movie. If it was good Bungie might decide to help. seriously we need to make it happen and stop sitting around talking about it. LET'S DO IT!! The Master Chief never sat on his ass and talked.. at.. least... not..... really.... anyway let's just say he didn't. We need this movie, we want this movie, so make this movie! any one else who is a true fan would agree. The lord of the rings started out like us but then Peter Jackson made it real. He took it to a large producer just for 1 movie because he was a small movie director , but they let him make 3 because they liked the idea. that could have been us and it still can be.............................................F***ing mak---- oops, I meant -mother F***ing make some mother F***ing Halo movies with me now! mother f***ers

Hey guys I'm back. I've got a couple of new things to announce. Firstly, me and Ropie will, in the next week or so, be compiling ALL of the info on this site to make one collective summary. This is just one step closer to victory we've thought of.
Secondly, I'm going to make a petition for a Halo Movie but I need some ideas to make the petition worded perfectly. We have to make this thing seem like the Gettysburg Address or something out of Fredrick Douglass' mouth; something good that can capture people to sign it. All ideas are welcome! The more the merrier! Write up a whole composition if you want. Just submit your ideas! If any of you have to talk to me, you can contact me either through a private message or through my AIM name; I'm always on.

In my opinion (which no one cares about anyway), a live-action movie would be done poorly (RE-*shudder*): therefore, a CG movie would be best. It would have to retain the flavor of the game (i.e. same voice actors, same characters, etc.) while adding something new to the ever-expanding Halo universe.
In this regard, following one of the books would be a good idea. The foundation has already been laid out, and viewers would not have seen (Halo 2 notwithstanding) the locales featured (i.e. Reach and the underground training facility where the Spartans were taught).
The most important thing, however, would be to make sure tha Bungie had complete insight into the project, to make sure things were going as they should. And since Bungie is working 100% on Halo 2, that means that production would not begin until after Halo 2's release on November 9th.
One final rule: if it's done shoddily, then it should not have been done at all.

Well Lone Spartan at least you're entusiastic. But you're right. We do have to act. That's why I'm starting that petition and will make a summary of what the Halo community wants and doesnt want. When I'm finished with that summary I'll post it and the collective can vote on what I should change and/or keep. Other than that, maybe we could make our own trailer to the movie like Blackstar Productions. We can compile a bunch of in-game and cinematics from whatever we can get from Halo and put some .wav files in to make it seem like the movie we want (I'll need help finding sufficient video footage to make this trailer so please help). Then I can get the movie posted on HBO and get a lot of attention from it. The only thing is, me and Ropie have to compile all this info. Once we do we can start a small screenplay for the trailer. Then, with Halo PC, downloadable Halo clips, and a good movie-making software, we can have make a good idea into a good movie. Any offered help with be COMPLETELY accepted.

My opinion on Halo film.

At first I imagined 4 live action movies. However, many things from the game that were spectacular would be changed for the worst, ie looks and voices. Plus making 4 movies would cost to much, would be to long, and woud take to long to make. So thats out.

As for a cg everything seems good, having the characters look the same and voices also exact would be awsome, but would flop for the same reasons as 4 movies.

Anime, well I love anime, i spent $200 on the complete Gundam Wing set. But they usually have bad graphics. Now, if it was an anime style series of a cg, THAT would probably be the best bet.
