That is a great way to do it. If anyone ever checks out behind-the-scenes of making special effect-laden movies, you know that it is a combination of techniques, like CG and props and actors to make it all come together and look real. If you think about it, it wouldn't be that hard for this kind of movie with the characters involved. I think they need Lucas to do the space battle becasue if the new Star Wars movies have shown us anything, it's that they know how to show a big space battle with incredible clarity and detail!
LUCAS? You have got to be kidding me...
Lucas wouldn't know how to make a good film if someone handed him an Oscar and said, "Okay, now all you have to do is make the movie make sense."
I'm sorry, while the Star Wars films were all fun and stuff, the sad fact of it was that it was all a lot of eye-candy and entertainment value. Halo, to me, is worth more than that... and if Lucas were to touch it, he would most definitely screw it up somehow.
I don't think they'll have any problem pulling off the movie technicalities, espcially with the heavy-hitters lined up like Fox & Universal, not to mention Microsoft.
While I agree that two studios backing is a good thing, this might also be a bad thing. As for Microsoft being behind it... their track record of getting things out on time or relatively bug-free (let alone both) makes me apprehensive... sure, they got money... but that doesn't mean anything unless you hire the right people for the job.
I think Dr. Halsey should be played by the Sprint Lady. She was also on "The Day After Tomorrow" She played Dennis Quaid's wife in that movie. She has the dark hair and blue eyes like Halsey and shee looks to be around the same age, and she looks smart too.
Are you talking about Candice Bergen? She's a great actress, but I just don't get the right feeling when I think of her as Dr. Halsey. Of course, I could be totally wrong... but I'll again repeat my choices - Glenn Close (can play a hard as nails character, which, after Halsey killed off 2/3 of her Spartans during the "upgrade", requires a bit of stomach) or Sigourney Weaver (need I say more?).
Am I good or what?
No, not really...
