Will there be cheating in the movie? I hope Mr. Jackson stays as true to the game as he can. Maybe he'll have Master Chief hitting the standby button and everyone in the movie theater will get a blue screen. :)

This calls for some serious bad language unsuitable for the international audience:

Åååfyttihelvetesfaensåjævlakultdetta var.

That's Norwegian, meaning something like "this is very good news". I guess all those Halo bashers will line up to buy the remaining stocks of Halo games now *evil grin*.

My only concern is that if they plan to release Halo 3 simultaneously with the movie, it'll be several years before we can play it *sob* Well, anyway: looking forward to keep an eye on how things are developing with this one. Really great news!

wow... just... wow.

I am definitely going to see the Halo movie. If the Halo movie some how sucks, I think the Earth is going to shake really really badly, knocking out many 3rd world countrys.

This is so cool! I fell out of my chair onto a pile of rubber ducky fishermen flying penguins when I read that! Can't wait for the movie!!! Hope that he mods in the movie! Booyeah for sniper rifles that shoot banshees!

Never mind the hobbit grunts, Imagine how they are going to do the flood and their whipping tentacles. I hope they do a few takedowns with the warthog running over those pesky little grunts.
But the key shot will be the first sniper kill combo with the rocket for good measure. Oh they have to do that. Destruction is oh so necessary. In fact, there better not be any love/kisses or handholding, and especially some creepy little girl who can predict future events. If they do that, they will kill the story.

The names Mark. Skidmark.

tell peter when you get there that I am ready to start shooting. I'm gonna make a great master chief

wowo, i'm speechless, the first time I see the MC wipping some grunts with a magnum I am going to literally -blam!- my pants in joy. As well I hope Peter Jackson goes the LOTR route and hires mostly smaller actors, I don't want to see no Tom Cruise, or nothin'.

Really though...this is INCREDIBLE! woot! btw, Bungie's going to like put stuff into the movie and DVD like incredibly complicated easter eggs, that you can only find my fast forwarding the movie to 7:77:77 and then you have to press a bunch of buttons on your dvd remote and then finally once you smack your DVD player 7 times, it will open up and the webmaster will jump out and smash your television...i can see it already.

  • 10.04.2005 11:48 AM PDT

*pees*

I wish he could direct, too. But with that frontline, I am sure we'll get a quality director.

  • 10.04.2005 11:51 AM PDT

I kept a slice of ham in my pants for the last 3 days, just so i could have my own secret.

so is this movie going to be animated like final fantasy or will there be humans dressed as characters from halo like tron? im confused

Sounds good! Good to have great talent like that on board. Now we just need a good story for him to work with! And tons of extras! I volunteer myself to be a grunt!! You can run my character over with a Scorpion and everything! I promise to scream and wail just like one of those pesky buggers!

I do like the idea of Peter Jackson using the standby button!!! Maybe they should do that right before the film starts or something.... Show the Chief hitting the standby button then the Screen goes blue and you get the "searching for connection" blue screen and then WHAM you are in the middle of a firefight with The Chief!

*Wiping tears of joy from my eyes*

There is hope for this movie. The bar is set very high, but I guess your 10,000 gorilla can easily pass that bar considering Bungie has managed to put together an amazing team so far for the movie.

Other things that will make the movie (besides what was mentioned in the news article on the home page):
Using the voice of the original Master Chief, which I know you guys are going to do.
Getting the right director and casting unknown actors.

Things that will break the movie:
Showing Master Chief's face (we are all Master Chief when we play Halo).
A love story. Please, please, please NO LOVE STORY. And that is coming from a straight chick.

Just give us a kick @ss scifi action flick that rivals the original Star Wars trilogy. And then some equally kick @ss sequels.

  • 10.04.2005 12:08 PM PDT

I love you guuuuys....

YAY, LOVE STORY!

I wanna see Chief get all teary eyed :)

Serioulsy though, Peter Jackson... Just... ya... totally mondo.

Ok Ok Ok .... Peter "best director ever"Jackson, is going to produce the Halo movie? Does this mean 3 three hour movies telling the whole story of the master chief? I saw LOT like lots of times and went to the LOT marathon to watch the movie for more then nine hours straight. I'm almost peeing my pants with anticipation for a Halo 1,2, and 3 marathon.
Now I believe that the Halo movie is going to be a serious project and not a dumb movie like Mortal Combat or Tomb "the biggest flop ever, but Angelina was still a babe" Raider.
