When you guys are all said an ddone, or possible with halo 3, could you release/sell whatever the information thing was to the public? It could be $500.00. I would start saving. Also, is this going to be live action or computer generated? I would love for it to be computer generated. I just couldn't actually see a live action Halo movie being made, and most important of all, being good.

Woot... this could either be the best movie ever or the worst movie ever... as long as Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Master Chief and Jennifer Love Hewitt plays Cortana.. i'll be happy.

i think the guy from The punisher movie would play the masterchief brilliantly, kurt russell if he was still young

  • 08.24.2005 3:38 AM PDT

Driven to distraction. ^_^

Thanks Joe and Bungie for keeping us up-to-date! All's looking cool :)

My 2 main casting suggestions...
Master Chief: Eric Bana (quality actor and can play tough)
Ron Perlman HAS to play the role he voiced in Halo 2.

Just wanna say a few things.
First Bungie and Mircosoft, great fricking job, finally a movie of a GOOD game.

Now second, I wouldnt consider myself a hardcore halo fan, however, I would just like to speak my mind about this movie, beacuse we've all seen the movies of other games...and they wernt that good...

So, to me, and hoepfully the rest of the Halo fans, this is what I think.

USE the original voice actors from the games, in the movies. For the love of Budda, do not use Britnney Spears, Paris Hilton or any other girl they can find off the street for Cortana. If you use the original voice actors, the movie will feel more like the game.

DO NOT show the masterchiefs face. That would ruin the movie to no end. I think they should do it Darth Vader style, where we get to see parts of his head, but never his actull face.

And one final comment. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THIS MOVIE FOR LITTLE KIDS. Halo was rated in the US, Mature, 17 and OLDER. This movie should be aimed for the older audiance, and yes, it may lose some money beacuse the 7 year olds wont go see 5 times, but it will be true to the game, and that will keep the real fans happy.

As for the director...to me, I wouldnt recomend anyone but James Cameron, since he has TONS of Sci-Fi experiance, but that is just me, and I like his movies. :-)

Thanks Bungie for bringing us this great game.

I reckon Louis Wu should direct the movie as he is basicly the head of the fan community and he is in a perfect position to direct the movie. He is one of the most knowing and dedicated halo fans think about it would be good eh?

I really trust Bungie to hire an excellent actor for Master Chief, I mean he is like a son to them and I'm sure he's not gonna be played by some fat guy.

P.S. u have to put David Cross (Marine) in the movie for some comedy parts.

The problem with the part of Master Chief is, if we don't see his face then who cares who is in the suit we just need a soild voice performance from someone. Who I wonder? If we are going to see the cheif's face then the studio is going to want a name for the part, who I wonder? My personal choices would be Michael Clark Duncan, big will fill out the suit has a deep voice, or maybe The Rock, similar qualites except for the voice.

Regardless of who plays chief many will not be happy as is the case with all things Halo, there is a portion of so-called fans that do nothing other than whine.

They will need some big names in this movie if they hope it to suceed where other game movies have failed.

Whatever you guys do, DON'T get Spielberg as the director or Lucas, the guys are starting to show their age as directors. I suggest Danny Boyle, him and Garland I believe have worked together before and always with somewhat pleasant results. Rami is also good if you could get him maybe after the Spider-Man movies, Evil Dead movies, 30 Days of Night movie, etc, etc.

AND LASTLY:
Focus more on the story then the effects, I'd rather see a freaking fantastic story and few special effects then a crap story and a lot of good special effects. Anything written by Nylund in the Halo novels is fantastic storywise. Also I don't know if it has been suggested but you could always pull a LOTR and make a trilogy: Fall of Reach, Halo 1, First Strike, would be an awesome trilogy, leave the storyline of Halo 2 out of it, I don't wanna see a movie about the Covenant side, which I could care less about.

A couple of words.... Quinten Tarentino

Acting like pre and post pubescent idiots who feel confident behind Internet anonymity? Even though it's applicable to the majority of our members, we ask that they not do that here.

.. holy -blam!-. Finally something that gamers will be proud of. Dang! when I first heard the rumors 3 months ago I thought '.. well. nah. a big corporation like Microsoft doesn't have the balls or the legal bravado to pull this off. (maybe bungie lol ;)). But ya guys did it

I just have a couple of words to say since you guys are probably gonna sift through all of this to get some clue of what fans want.

1. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT GET SOME GUY LIKE BRAT PITT OR TOM CRUISE OR THAT GUY THAT PLAYED THE MAIN CHARACTER IN PAY CHECK..

2. Being that this is the only movie that has been talked about (indirectly directly wishfully) for the past... aww well let us just say two months after Halo came out. Make it good... I know that a lot of people are giving you stress talking about their expectations and that you don't how to fulfill them but if you listen to the fans' whining about not having this or that you will have a better movie.. but hell you already know that.

3. Also please don't make it like Dawn of the Dead scary.. because that is not what Halo was about, that aside please do make it at least R rated.

4. Please. tell us an estimate..

5. Thank you Bungie and Microsoft; hopefully this will not make you stars in hollywood (I pray to god that will not happen) because of 2 reasons:
a) eventually you guys would be snobs (no offense)
b) early retirement meaning no Halo 4 and 5 and Halo Legacy and such


Thank you so much I think that this might be more popular than Halo 2 (keyword might) or maybe as popular as both. Please deliver what you have promised. We expect the same care quality and pride to put in this movie as you guys did with Halo Halo 2 there is a lot of pressure here but we all know that you will make something that will called not only the first video game movie but one of the best classics and action flicks in the history of hollywood.

This movie better be good. I don't want Bungie fans going over to the PS2, or worse, the Gamecube.

Considering that i've come to despise the game of halo thanks to countless numbers of complete idiots on xbox live and the high price of gas and movie tickets, this movie is gunna be a flop. by the time it comes out there's gunna be new video games out that gamers are going to play that they'll be creaming in their pants for a movie to be made about it. tell the people in hollywood to not waste their millions of dollars.
