I wish I could help dude, but the best I can offer is my advice and my opinion... but at least they seem welcome.
What my next plan to do is spearhaed whether the MC should show his face or not... I think this is actually a key aspect of a possible movie, I mean, this is the unknown MC!! For many people, the entire movie, regardless of quality, would be ruined if his face was shown at all. So here are some arguements for and against the MC taking off his armour...
FOR
- It happens in the books. So really, if you want a movie to be based on a book, you have to be prepared to have the MC out of armour.... I mean for half of 'The Fall of Reach' he isnt wearing MJOLNR armour at all.
- It would give the MC a certain air of vulnerability... as the books say, John feels naked without his armour on. If they actually made him the pasty white guy he would be after years of wearing that armour then it would show a human, fallible side, and show the audience the important human side of him.
AGAINST
- It would keep him as a faceless killing machine; or faceless defender of Humanity (depending on how you look at it)... considering that the Covenant is the faceless destroyer of Humanity, I personally like the juxtaposition of having Humanity at once destroyed and saved by merciless, faceless killers.
- It would ruin basically all fans mental image of what John actually looks like (except for the ONE person who will sit there like a stunned Mullet, mouth agape, thinking "My God... thats exactly how I pictured him!!")
- MCs original voice couldnt really be used for the MC, unless by some chance the voice guy is 6'4+, weighs 130kg, is about 40ish, and quite buff.
Personally, Im all for the MC taking his armour off, due to the last 'for' arguement, but I thought in the name of being fair I would put forward all of the main arguements I can remember... feel free to add any other arguements as you see fit.
Oh and Celenon... whats this AIM thingie?
