This is more along the lines of the movie...
It seems the wheel has already begun to turn with this topic if there were talks in Hellyworld (Hollywood to all those who do actually enjoy half of the smut they pump out each year). My concern is this: Do we really need a movie when we have the game? I mean we have the cut scenes, we have the cinematics, and we actually get to "live" out the story. What else do you really need? I know there are books out and I realize that there is MORE to the story than is shown in the game, but in all honesty, visually, all you need is the game. It is the same with another video game that is popular and has done very well all on its own. I don't know if people will get "in trouble" if i say the name or not, but oh well, here it goes: Doom. They have The Rock as one of the actors and that has already ruined it for me personally. What has it come to when Hellyworld can take anything, get bad actors for it, and turn the story line to be more "profitable and promotional" just so they can put a little more uneeded cash in their bank accounts? (the producers and higher people of course, the grunt workers get screwed as usual in this world) Now I'm not saying that the Halo movie will be bad, but I will say it has potential to be if done wrong. Which anymore is what happens to great things that are pitched to Hellyworld. I would get on my hand and knees and beg that it not be messed with and to just leave it be, but the problem is that I dont know who to beg to and I dont personally have the money to get myself there to get down on all fours... (if anyone wants to help me out Id take any donations or information that would aid me in this).
Definitely agree that there's a good chance they could completely screw up and the movie would be garbage. But everything else they've done with halo has been good. Plus your point about the game and cut scense being enough is just retarded. Go look at the movie theatres now with batman and fantastic 4, if we used your logic then these movies would be pointless to make too since you already have the comics and cartoons and tv shows and even other movies. Movies are always made from popular story lines that already exist, and the reason they're made is cuz poeple wanna see them.
