Well, I saw the Doom preview, and in it they showed the pinky demon......Way too CG. It barely moved realistically. I can't stand it when a movie relies too much on CG. If this Halo movie is to satisfy me, It's gonna need actual physical models and contstructions of creatures, weapons, vehicles etc. I want this movie to be very real, and also extremely in touch with bungie's creation.....Halo. I don't want some fluffed up typical HOLLYWOOD style movie, where everything is just so, I don't even know the words to end this sentence, but I just want the movie to be what true fans of the Halo realm expect.
But, judging from all the "stories of the week" put out on site, I guessing you guys took care of this. Hey I'm already like 65% satisfied just cause you're even making a movie. I mean, fucryin out loud, I was wondering if there was going to be a Halo movie right after I beat Halo CE.
OH one more thing,

BUNGIE, PROMISE YOU WILL NOT SHOW MASTER CHEIF'S FACE IN THIS MOVIE..... GO ON, SAY IT, I WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY, "WE WILL NEVER SHOW MASTER CHEIF'S FACE IN THIS MOVIE." Not that I think you will, but I just want to make sure.

Another problem is the hope that they don't make it rated R. I would watch it anyway. Yet, it would bum me out a bit.


This is exactly what would ruin the movie.
It is a MATURE game, and should remain MATURE for audiences.
Just because there is no swearing in the game, doesn't mean gore is not MATURE.
If they keep it R. That means they can't really show MC kick ass.

EXAMPLE OF A PG-13 SCENE :
Spiderman 2, when Doc Oc awakes in the hospital room. None of the doctors were really mortally wounded!!!! And if the director thought that it wouldn't have helped, it wouldn't have helped the character, or that people didn't notice, wrong. But this is a comic book movie. What do I know?

Wait, is the movie going to be based on the games or on the Trilogy of books.


I believe Bungie stated in an earlier news post that the film will have an original script. This could mean a distillation of the games, the novels, the games and the novels, or something else entirely. Suffice it to say that it will have to cover enough about the Halo universe to bring newcomers up to speed. This makes it pretty much a given that at least one of the titular ringworlds will make an appearance, which is an encouraging thought.

On a semi-unrelated note, I hope to God that Steve Downes and Jen Taylor will be reprising their roles as the voices of Master Chief and Cortana. I couldn't even begin to imagine either of them with a different voice, especially the latter.

THE AVIATOR long ass, boring ass movie, Titanic, long ass boring ass movie. Man do I hate long ass boring ass movies............Halo the movie......BUNGIE, please make this movie really FEKKING LONG.
IF I were one of the like 5 percent of Americans who are millionares, I would support your movie like John Grisham to New Orleans.(he donated 5 million to the help the victims)

To the guy who said Christopher Tolkien was in the movie, thats WRONG.

It was his SON...in Osgilliath(s?) right before Gothmog and Co. attack from the river,
it cuts to a young solder handing out spears...thats him.

Aweso- that is the best news I have heard- that singular detail may make the entire movie- but who is going to direct is the real question. Just because Peter Jackson is going to produce doesn't mean he is going to direct- which he did in LOTR- 2 completely different things and jobs- the producer just gives the director the things he needs to make the movie- Jackson can sell it to someone- but again - WHO IS GOING TO ACTUALLY DIRECT IT??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????

whhaaaa? Jackson only producing. A brainwave just arrived, let's see what it says. It reads, "slightly dissapointed. Must have Jackson direct also."

Wow! I can't wait, this is awesome news. I am so happy for you guys, I am sure you are very excited over there at Bungie. If they dedicate the same effort and time as they did in LOTR, then this would be the BIGGEST video game movie EVER... I hope everything goes well and make sure Ebert and Roeper gives it Two Thumbs up when it is released! LOL

I really want the movie to incluide lots of info from the books. Ive read them, and they make halo 10 times more addictive and they also give you a chance to relate to the MC feelings and thoughts, which you cant do in a game. Ppl who havent played the games and go to see the movie will have no idea whats going on unless they gets some background info from the books. I really want to see the younger versions of the spartans like when they were kids, oh and the battle for Sigma Octanus, oh and the battle for reach, oh and the stories of the helljumpers on halo, oh and.... wait ill just stop now.

So, I need one thing straight... Is the movie going to be all cg or real life cg intergrated. Either way Jackson and you guys will do a hell of a job. Just wondering

P.S. im still smiling about that too
