OK, it's been quite awhile since I've heard anything about the Halo movie. I know they had put it on hold for awhile now, but have they totally scrapped it? Anyway, the reason I'm asking is because I just got three halo books yesterday (they came with Reach, Flood, and I think Contact Harvest - speaking of which, does anyone know the order the books are supposed to go in?). I'm 2/3 of the way through Reach and I really like it. I've been holding out for awhile because I feel like it's a pretty nerdy thing (and it is), but I just love Halo. And honestly, it has really drawn me into the universe.
SO while reading Reach, I understand it's not the best written story. There are definitely many cliches and poor sections of writing. That being said, the storyline along with the wittiness they put into it is just amazing. I think it would make for a VERY epic movie. There are so many emotional and moral twists with Dr. Halsey alone, let alone the exploration of all the emotions the spartans go through. On top of that, add in an impossible fight filled with daring and smart tactics, and it's just apocalyptically intense.
I feel that I've been all over the place, so here are my questions to comment on:
1. Is the Halo movie still on for some point in the future (perhaps a mod may know more about this)?
2. If it is, do you think the Halo movie would just be a generic movie that condenses the chief's exploits, or do you think they'd start off with Reach?
3. If you've read reach, do you agree with me that it would make for an absolutely epic movie (and what are you're favorite parts)? [*Make sure to indicate any spoilers*]
4. Does anyone know the order the books go in? Mine came in a pack of 3, but reading the titles of the other ones (Contact Harvest, Cole Protocol) and then reading those terms mentioned in Reach, I feel like I should have read some of the books before Reach.
