Oh no Peter Freaken Jackson! I hope he doesn’t drop a giant turd sandwich in the Halo Universe. I can see it now. Half the species will be running around with giant furry feat. Jackson had better not include any homo-blam!-ly oriented Hobotses. You guys know what I mean cough LOTR.
I wonder what his representation of the Grunts will be like. When you really consider everything the proper displaying of the Grunts is crucial depending on what type of film Jackson is going to Orient the Halo movie towards. For instance will the movie be more comical like Army of Darkness, a testosterone driven hero oriented super human movie like Rambo, or a more serious movie like We Were Soldier’s, Black Hawk Down. When you really look at the possibilities the Brutes, Hunters, Jackals, Flood, Drones, Prophets and Humans are very easy to adapt to any of the aforementioned script styles. However if you view how the Grunts need to be played out as, it is obviously a tipping point. It is very easy to make the Grunts appear overly humorous, and loose some of the Halo Universe feel. On the other hand making the Grunts appear more realistic in a fighting situation would take away from the mood of Halo CE and Halo 2.
All in all Peter Jackson has a nice sounding name. But before he even considers dipping his hands completely into this project. He’d better wipe some of that mucous off of Frankie’s flu forbidden noose and sit down and view some movies which are over the top in one aspect or the other. To make certain he doesn’t advertantly advertise the movie as one thing when, one aspect skews the whole situation.
Oh yes on a side note. In Halo 3 bring back the ability to beat a Hunter to death by punching them in the back. I’ve tried killing Hunters in Halo 2 with only my fist’s, but I’ve found that I can sit their and beat them to death with dozens of clean hits which echo that sweet crunching sound of Fist on Orange symbiotic worms. But the Hunters won’t die. I’ve found though you can punch them and not shoot them at all. Then finish them off with one Battle Rifle round.
I hear that participating in the MXC is a sure way to get rid of sickness. Floaters and sinkers anyone?
