Let’s not forget it is WHO you know, not WHAT you know in Hollywood. Peter Jackson comes with some big connections as far as money and clout goes. He can pull strings if need be. And, he is NOT the director.

It seems to be common sense that comic book movies/game movies have a very faithful following and if a movie does not please the faithful fans it will not get up enough steam in theatres to make enough money to pay for itself, so I think the team that is being assembled to make this movie will do their best to please us and make money at the same time. We create the buzz that will make or break this movie via internet, talking on Live, etc. So, it would behoove the powers that be to make sure we are satisfied with the final product, the Halo movie.

Plus, I don't think Bungie would let their "baby" fall into just anyone's hands. Neither would Microsoft. Have some faith.

And by the way, I know there's a difference between a director and producer. What I'm saying is that because Peter Jackson was also exec. producer in LOTR, and most likely other things not so widely known, that he's used to the job. In other words, -any- work he puts into this project is going to be good for it.

You guys should so suggest to the director or screenplay guy the possibility of having someone in the background playing Halo 2, or Halo in a sceen, maybe like on board a ship or something... LOL or have someone yelling about hackers or humping just to add a feeling of it still being a gamer thing.

What to say, what to say, I'm definetly impressed, I'm a huge fan of Star Wars and LOTR, but Halo is gonna' kick ass (except for Star Wars episode 3) and I'm wondering though...What part of the Halo series is the movie about? Reach, Halo 1, First Strike, Halo 2, or all of them or just some of the first ones?

I love the LOTR movies. But, I am kinda worried. Lets hope there's no crying and balling in this movie. I really hope Peter Jackson doesn't put emotional -blam!- in this movie. I know he's not the director, but, I am worried. I think we needed the feel of the first Alien movie for Halo.
I want to be scared when the Flood comes out. I wont accept anything else.
Weta, that's great actually. They're working on the Eva's for Evangelion Live Action, so that's cool.

Another thing though. We dont need a hero in this movie. The only people that should be alive, if your going for that feel, should be Master Chief and The Sarge. If you dont agree, take a look at Aliens Vs. Predator. We dont need heroes. Let them die a horrible death.

I can't stress this enough. Seriously. I dont want to see, Humans running behind Master Chief all the way and surviving. That's gonna be stupid.

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

Well i know its a bit too late but i think the quality of the movie would still have been great if it was completely CG. take a look at this trailer fpr Final Fantasy 7 Adventchildren Final Fantasy 7 Adventchildren a completely CG movie from the creaters of the first ever completely CG movie. just look at the quality, I think it would have bean much better in CG.

So, will this be a 'make 3 movies at once' like LOTR? Make a Halo, Halo 2, and Halo 3 movie?

Yeah, so...this will be a live action/CG movie? Like...star wars...? If so then it'll suck. Not saying star wars sucks but...live action video game MOVIES, well, they've all sucked. I would much rather see a total CG animated movie made by bungie or anyone with talent than see a live action movie of Halo. Think how retarded the suit and everything will look. Gah...


If they can pull this off and make it good...well, it'll be a first.

Wow, that's sweet....Peter Jackson as Executive Director. Atleast we know it cannot be delayed much more then 2007, if that is the year it will be released into theaters.

First of all I'd like to call a dumbass to whoever said "OMFG ThiS Is COnFirMAtIOn That Its GOnna Be A lIvE AcTioN MoViE1!1!!1!" since it has been that way since day one.

Secondly I'd like to say that Peter Jackson on board is great, great news, however he is not the director. A director and a producer are massively different things.

He will have pretty much no say on the final movie itself (story, shots, music, editing, etc), - which is exactly what granted him all the praises and awards on LOTR - he will only bring on the cash, and WETA which, again, is great, great news.

So if you were mad, dont be. And if you were happy, dont be either. When a director is announced you can be either of those.

You can be happy about special effects though, because that is definitely one great company to do it :)
