As obvious and redundant as this may sound, I think we all appreciate the level of commitment that Bungie puts into their projects. From someone who has read the novels, played the games, spent countless hours on Xbox Live, and is in awe of every aspect of the Halo universe, it doesn't go unappreciated. Thank you for doing everything possible to prevent this from becoming another Doom, Resident Evil, or any other awful video game adaptation movie. Hopefully it goes beyond the term "video game movie."

Do yall think the movie will be real or CG you know like Final Fantacy: The Spirits Within? I would put my money on a high quality CG, but its too early to tell.

About the grunt page, Why is the fuel rod cannon referred to as a flak cannon? And what about green and white-armored grunts? What are they're ranks?

I still think we have to fear. I don't think it would be right to have Master Chief in the movie at all, I mean, I kinda have a personal attachment with the dude and I don't wanna see him doing things I wouldn't approve of, like teabagging an Elite.

Any chance of that companion getting a public release? Like a preview to the movie.

Remeber when starwars episode 2 came out? And they had those movie guide books that told the backstory of the villians and details on the weapons and stuff? Cause i would totally pay like $30 for one if it had as much details in it as the page that you showed us!

  • 08.23.2005 10:41 AM PDT

Right now the movie "companion" is still being finalized and it's considered confidential material strictly for the use of the studios and movie creative folks. However, since a lot of hard work was put into this, we now have some really cool material that we didn't have before (at least not in one handy place). Ideally I'd love to see some of this content end up on Bungie.net as admittedly we are severely lacking the fiction/story department. We have plans to introduce backstory info, character bios, weapons details, etc.. on the website and in many cases the companion would fill out those areas nicely.

can i be a stand in guy in the movie

like some guy in the back who tries to protect himself from the grunts only to be saved by the Master Chief and given a weapon so i can be his sidekick and save him from a sword elete who creeps up behind him. And then become a Spartin 1.0 (like in I love bees)with the injections and all of that stuff and then later become his best friend only to have a relationship with Cortana and to be kicked out of his house because he likes Cortana. because that would be so frickin awsome!!! and i could say "Ha i was John's best friend in the movie and i did it for free to !!!!

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."
