If there was a halo moive. And it was made by the help of bungie. IT WOULD HAVE TO NOT HAVE THESE FLAWS.

1. Low buget i'm talking bad special efects and stuff like they had in the original godzilla moives.

2. A off plot story nowone wants scenes that weren't in the game or books.

3. An emotianl master cheif.

4. A romace theme especaly between cortona and the MC.

5. When master cheif kills covenent or whatnot he shouldn't say corny lines.

6. Inacereit voices.

5. A undeveloped plot, [if non halo people can't keep up with it then it should be redone].

All in all if a Halo moive was made and it didn't have the flaws that are listed above I would see it like at least 4 times in thearders and buy the speical addition DVD.

Hmmm... an emotional Master Chief? Well, that's an odd concept. [mental image: 10010100110101101010101010111010100010101010001] Intersesting isnt it?

Sure most games that turn into movies suck...like Super Mario Brothers, but Halo has an awesome storyline i think a movie will even create more fans for the game. If MC's face isn't shown in Halo 2 u would have to show it in a movie. Who wants to see a movie where u can't see the main characters face. Anyway... I can imagine the movie halo... i saw someone in the forums mention grunty sex...keep that outta it, U would not have any problems creating it (i hope) it just like one big long cutscene and the graphics for the movie would be awesome, if made CG.

P.S.
NO actors they just ruin it with their none look alike the characters and non sound alike the characters thing going on when it comes to this.

Hey Waffle! You still here? If you read my posts today, you'll see that we need A LOT of help on more than just the compiling info part. But I'm almost done (yippie!) making my summary and when Ropie gets back from school (any time now) I'll share the summary with you and ropie before I post it.

Sorry about that. We're using AIM now so this wont happen again. But we're talking about the Halo Movie on AIM and how to make this happen. But that's besides the point. Sorry about any confusion. We'll go back to solely posting about the movie.

it appears that the only thing we can agree on is that a Halo movie would be good, IN THEORY, but it would be har dto pull of to satisfy everyone. but hey, u cant make everyone happy so boo hoo u know.

I have to agree with the above statement. The movie would probably be a watered-down, PG-13 mockery of the greatest game game to date. Anyone remember Dungeons and Dragons: The Movie? I thought not. Let Bungie create the Halo franchise using interactive media, not some corporate Hollywood version that would surely be nothing more than a vulgar farce.

there should not be a film. it would be bull -blam!-, it would ruin the game and everything it stands for. just look at the resident evil movie, it sucked and gave the game a bad name, same thing happened with final fantasy

Hey, Awful Waffle, I really like your enthusiasm. I mean, I love Halo just as much as the next guy, but do you "live" on these forum pages or what?

Instead of doing a movie how about Bungie get together with those guys in RvsB.com and do a live action performance of The Blood Gulch Chronicles. Since Bungie has billions it should be a sinch right?

This is just an idea

Well, here's the list or ALL the most common suggestions in EVERY page on this thread. It took only a couple of hours for me to compile but my eyes hurt now. All suggestions were taken from the Halo collective (community) in this thread. The most popular were written down. Anyway, here's what I got:

Positives:
- Bungie and Micosoft have full control
- Live Action/CG
- Movie should be based on the books
- The Fall of Reach is (at the moment) the most popular storyline idea out of the three books.
- Eric Nylund should be lead scriptwriter and any changes shouls be made with his consent.
- Multiple movies
- Marty should do the music
- Let Bungie's Cinematics Director (Joesph Staten) direct the movie because he captureed our attention already with the games.
- People seem to connect "Halo" with the movies "Aliens" (just a comment).
- Must have identifyable Spartans (personality traits, body features, abilities, ect.)
- This has to be a pretty high-budget movie to have sufficent special effects, ect.
- A rating to the movie will be applied by the censors, not us.

Negatives:

- No pompous Hollywood sleezebag should direct this film
- No anime Halo
- Do not show the MC's face? <--------- Very debatable. Check out Nydia Julen's post on page 28. Being the majority, will the public find this feature attractive?
- No cartoony Halo
- No love angles in the script
- No corny one-liners
- No off-plot story

That's it, if anyone has anything to add or subtract please write down your suggestions with a powerful yet understandable reason why it should be added or withdrawn from this post. Thanks again!

With this summary out, I can now make an online petition for this movie. Then after that I'll be looking for ANY amatuer directors and screenplay writers to make a trailer for our Halo Movie idea. We need screenplay writers to writer a script for the trailer that will be made when a plot is decided. We need directors to direct the clips and cinematics of Halo into a convincing and interesting trailer. What we need from the Halo Community is ideas for a plot. PLEASE SUBMIT ALL IDEAS FOR A PLOT TOWARDS THIS TRAILER! And when a truely popular plot basis is found by the Community, a screenplay writer will make a script off of that basis. WE NEED YOUR HELP HALO COLLECTIVE!
