Hey this is Kent or Sand Angel if you want to call me that, im 14. My opinion about the movie is that I just cant wait for it, as many others are. I think that the Halo story before The Flood would be a great story; the fall of reach people who havent read the book would love, people who have will love it, now im not trying to give you ideas for the movie...but im just guessing, sorta. :)

The Halo movie is officially underway! How did we end up here? What role will Bungie play? Bungie's Joseph Staten sheds some light on the history of the Halo movie as well as what fans can expect in his first report from the Hollywood trenches...

Notice the "Microsoft Confidential: Trade Secret Of The Microsoft Corporation" message on the side of each of the pages of the Halo universe bible. I think it's funny how hard microsoft is working to keep this completely under their control, but I would love to read throught that kind of resource of fiction to learn more about the Halo universe. There has got to be some great pieces of story goodness in there.

Well it feels a little weird that a Halo movie is coming out. I hope it will be the same animation as the movie Final Fantasy (not meaning the game).

For some odd reason after reading the article, I felt very awkard.

I hope this movie doesn't suck or I'll be dissapointed, but my dad is looking forward to it.

The movie could have been made as a series or something.

The only voice actor that can play Master Chief is Steve Downes.
The only actor that can play the body of Master Chief is Kane Hodder. Previously played Jason Voorhes in Jason X and several other Friday the 13th films. He has the height body style and is a stuntman. Wont have to take off the helmet since that IS NOT ALLOWED. unfortunately in my mind this is the only way i can see halo in celluloid. An actor can not be the Chief on Steve D.

i think i can safely speak for every movie and gamer fan out their when i say i am worried of another game to movie crudfest. But even if ratings are bad seeing the MC on the silver screen, wide screened with sorround sound (i have neither of these where i play halo) will be cool. Suck or not i will be there to watch it suck. But one thing must be done. IT CAN ONLY BE A CG MOVIE. Why? One word.........cosplay. what looks good in games, movies, anime, etc. doesnt always look good in real life. Plus a CG MC would be easier to accept by fans than a real life or drawn MC.

  • 08.24.2005 10:30 PM PDT

I think that bungie are going to do a great job on the film. The whole reason i got into halo in the first place was because of the story. Its also pretty safe to say no matter who they cast or get to direct some people on here will kick off and complain no matter what. So i'll just sit back and look forward to 2007.

by the way here's an article that might interest people http://entertainment.news.com.au/story/0,10221,16377995-7485, 00.html

CG idea is good. But I just can't get the picture of Master Chief looking around with his assault rifle hearing the sounds of The Flood while the lights are out of control and flashing on and off, The Flood is right on top of him.

Alien style.

Man I can't wait! If all of what is said is as true as Bungie's word, we will all get some modded out, glitchy, laggy, poor framerate, left scratching our heads, constantly verbally assaulted by 13 year old, $75 (so far, not counting the insanely high cost of the movie tickets by then) spent bungie gold. Can't stress it enough, I can't wait. It can't be any worse than Street Fighter the movie. Maybe by then the little sh_ts that keep cheating will be old enough to drive and will all die in horrible car accidents leaving there parents angry at the videogame-to-movie industry for not properly warning the kiddies about obeying road laws, you know cuz its the videogame industries fault little kiddies cant do anything right, not the jackass parents

I'm very happy that you guys (Bungie) are going to be involved in every aspect of the movie other wise I wouldn't even bother going to see the movie, so keep up the good work Bungie and makes all of us (HALO FANS) proud!


ps. nice way of coming up with the script writer, that idea that Alex Garland might be all over the "Flood" me LIKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FREE YOUR MIND!

PLEASE LET THERE BE SPACE BATTLES!!!!
I know this might sound crazy, but in the first and third books of the halo novels, there where amazingly epic fights between covennant and human ships... though this is not what we play in the game, I think if the plot allows it should be shown

I think that bungie should allow a combination of the game and the books to come together. The first halo movie should follow the story of the book 'The Fall of Reach,' This way the audience that isn't as familiar with MC can really get insight on how he grew up on Harvest (colonized human planet) got recruited in order to become a spartan and soon after became Spartan117 John. Thus doing this will really give the audience a strong sense of connection with Master Chief (familiar with the MC or not). As well 'The Fall of Reach' introduces the convenant and the human's first hostile encounter with this "alien race." This way everyone will know how the war started and why it is within the will of the Covenant to try and destroy the human race. This is just a small example of how crucial it is to put the insight of the halo books in with he movie in order to establish a strong sense of connection and understanding to the audience. Making the audience feel happiness, sadness, proudness etc for the heroes in a film is what makes a movie immortal with the fans.

A movie is a great idea but if u want to do some "justice" for us halo fans, release a Halo 1.5 with online multiplayer capability for the 360. No need to see what happens next, people play the campaign for a good 10 hours if that. the replay value is in the multiplayer. Halo 1's weapon selection and maps are so balanced its crazy to think that u guys thought u messed up. The game was PERFECT! i would practice for hours upon hours to get my pistol better. its not the same in halo 2. everything is RUSH RUSH RUSH and Lunge. thats no fun. Fun comes after the hard work and practice u put into the game and start owning the hell out of people. just a thought :)

im pretty damn stoked, it has alot to live up unlike when the moive of final fantasy came out which was pretty much a disapointment becuase it couldn't meet the bar for the game but the graphics were hott, but ne way i can trust that bungie will not let us the GAMERS down, i think speilberg would do a good job at it if he was offered the chance.

i have a feeling that this movie should turn out well unlike some other attempts from video game to movie. Why? Well you guys seriously know what you are doing i mean in your trailers you actually say what the game is gonna be like and of course the trailer would say it would be awesome and the game would look awesonme and it would be the truth but in other games the trailer would say it 'd be great and the trrailer would look greaT and the game would be noting like it and suck you guys actually my opinion have the best game ever besides the mario business back in the 90s u guys have created probably the most succesful x-box game that not only was successful money wise but actually a great game. If lets say, a mario movie came out i guarentee u 100% it would suck horribly i have faith in u bungie and do not let me down lol

Will it be an animation movie like Final Fantasy (the movie) or like a real movie with real actors (not computer generated)?

You Guy's Should make it in live action and have some stunt guy or someone play the Chief and then have the origial guy do the voice of chief, I only think that it should be in live action because well we all own the game and whats the point in seeing it in CG when that's all we've seen it in, I think Live Action would make the movie interesting. as far as big named actors I think they should use unknown actors unless its sam jackson. and the CG company has to be ILM because If you look at the Star Wars movies the CG Looks better then most movies today. Marty should do the music and It should be directed by Ridley Scott or james Cameron because they did the Alien Movies and thoes are similar to Halo as far as the look and feel goes. and they should use the least amount of CG possible because then it just gets annoying and I really dont want the covenant to be CG except for Drones and Prophets, Sometimes Hunters too when there doing big stunts. I hope that the movie kicks ass!

I can't wait to see every thing and what it is going to be about and if there will be one movie for each game or one movie including things that happen in all the games or a halo movie that doesn't have anything to do with the games. Gosh, I just can't wait till it comes out.
