I'm ok with real actors as long as they look like who they are supposed to be. And talk the same, do voice overs or something

Don't show the MC's face, and get Steve Downes to voice him. It's the only way.

Well since nobody has ever actually SEEN Mc's face, they could really use any actor they want. sgt johnson has to be played by Samuel L. Jackson though =). and use the real voice for cortana in the movie (she'll probably be cg anyways).

Actually the Sarge should look like The Sarge. Samuel L. Jackson doesnt really have the features. As well as someone that can talk like him too.

Hey Sketch Factor

Will Halo be a trilogy like Lord of the Rings?.........It really needs to be one movie isnt a great enough fix for us.... I cant see fitting Halo into one movie. Also "The Rock" would be good for Master Chief even though we may not see his face much.

well this movie is good and all but when you look at many scifi flicks they use CG as a cruch or answer to the hard creatures to create....and thats good if you do it in hte style of say final fantasy however if that turned out to be the case because its in CG it would be harder to draw a movie crowd. They might not say it but they'd remember FF.. however if you look at flicks which use the combination of CG and costume/latex the effects can turn out to be better think about aliens before cg, but Underworld i'd say, is a good example that uses both. then if you got the route of finding actors it makes the process difficult because you'll want to keep the voice actor from the game to keep it the same but if you cant have the voices the fans, players and various others identify with then it almost becaome not worth it because then its not the movie that everyone expects, and not one that they may want to see....a delecate job this movie will be...

I put this on page two but for those who didn't read it....

According to comingsoon.net and Variety the movie is slated for the summer of 2007...

They state

"Halo Targeted for Summer 2007
Source: Variety August 23, 2005


Variety reports that 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures have closed their deal to make a movie based on Microsoft's hit videogame Halo, with plans for a tentpole release in the summer of 2007. The two studios will pay Microsoft $5 million against 10% of the gross.

Universal will oversee the production and is handling domestic distribution, while Fox will take foreign distribution. The studios will split revenues 50/50 out of a shared pot, adds the trade.

Former Columbia president Peter Schlessel, who served as a Hollywood liaison for Microsoft, is producing. 28 Days Later screenwriter Alex Garland was paid $1 million by Microsoft to write a script that met its approval. He'll now do a rewrite with studio notes, after which Universal will go out to directors.

The film is based on the game franchise which has grossed $600 million."

I HAVE A RANGE OF WHEN ITS COMING OUT!!!!!

I know for certain that it's gonna come out between now and Christmas, ya wanna kno why?!? Because, Halo 3 is not gonna follow on from Halo 2 (information from Xbox Magazine) but it's gonna follow on from Halo Movie, and Halo 3 is gonna come out on Feburary 9th (also from XBM), so, naturally they will relaese it before Halo 3, and release it JUST before "Film of the Year" is decided.

Oh yeh, the director's Ridley Scott (Director of Alien), so how good's that? A very well-known and very talented Sci-fi director is directing a Sci-Fi called Halo!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!

Considering his performance in Batman Begins, I think Christian Bale would make a great Master Chief. Also, the guy who plays Wolverine in Xmen. They both have good, cold ferocity.

On the Xmen tip, I wouldn't mind seeing a tightly clothed supermodel for Cortana's part, like, say, Mena Suvari. Call me a "show"vanist.
