If the greatest game was a movie who should make it?
Who would do effects?
Would Master Chief be a hi-tech graphic like Alien in Alien vs. Predator or would he be a guy in some kind of cool spartan armor suit?
Would it be horror action or just action?

[color=crimson]I doubt Bungie'll ever sell the rights to make Halo into a movie series. Thank God for that, too.

In my opinion, the Halo movies would never do the Halo game and books any justice.[/color]

Crimson Clover

[color=crimson]Technically, the game is a movie. It has cutscenes, dialogue, action, chases, and plot twists. What more do you need?[/color]

good point, but it would be funny to see an angry mob outside hollywood yelling about ruining halo with a love story which knowing hollywood would probably happen

if you got somebody liek quentin tarantino he would NEVER incorporate a love story. in fact, he might let you think there was one, then have one of the lovers be killed horrifically at the end.

although i think bryan singer may be a good choice.

yeah, if you got Ridley Scott(The guy who did Alien) it would be horror and there would be like 20 scenes on the pillar of autumn of marines getting stalked by an elite like the alien did

if they do...DON'T SELL THE RIGHTS TO GEORGE LUCAS!!! He screwed up the awesome in the Star Wars series. Heaven knows what he'll do to Halo.

I think Ridley Scott would be a great director for this, because he's got experience in both Sci-Fi (Aliens, and I think he did Terminator 1) and military (Black Hawk Down, Gladiator) and he would do a really good job of mixing them together.

They couldn't incorporate a love story into Halo. MC has a suppresed -blam!- drive due to his agumentations.

I never thought of good ol' ridley compared to that D@^^* Lucas. Lucas could have just done movies of Timothy Zahn's Books. They are awesome and actually bring honor back to star wars. check out the first of the zahn books at amazon.com then search in books for Heir to the Empire. These books rule

IMO, they should get John Who to do it. Nobody can make you jump into the middle of an awesomely chorographed battlescene better than him. And master chief would definitely be a real person. You just can't get the same physics with CGI.

anywho,

I've read all three of 'em...they'd definitely make way better movies than the crap Lucas tried to throw at us for the "prequels." Maybe if he decides to make sequels he'll use them, because Grand Admiral Thrawn is one of the coolest Star Wars bad guys ever. Also, the Noghri just sound wicked awesome.

man these books rule even casey agrees with me every one should read em'. if some guy took rights to those Lucas would be considered an idiot for not buyin into them. also if they took the two after those Lucas would look dumber. Im not sure about Zahns newest Star Wars im still reading it.
(Lucas is just stupid and wont make a movie out of any idea but his)
