Subject: Do you want a Halo Movie?

Signatures are for squares.

A Halo movie series needs to begin with Contact Harvest.

It will gain the most buzz. It's not about super humans. It's about a Sergeant who needs to make a group of farmers the main defense of a planet. Originally terrorists. And then the start of a 27 year long conflict.

It feels like the best way to start, and the terrorism thing would be good for people who aren't really into the "aliens" thing.

My only problem is that there will be to much action, unless they render the story slightly.

I saw bits of every Star Trek TNG movie, Star Trek VI, and Aliens in that video.


yeah, all that stuff is just another montage..

Having said that, it DOES capture the mood and dark feel of the Fall of Reach.

And if they are gonna make a HALO movie series...they MUST start with the book "Fall of Reach" to explain the background of the Spartan Project, otherwise, it would make no sense to the non-halo fan. Think of when HALO: CE First came out...we REALLY had no real idea on who Chief was or Cortana, or the Covenant or any of that...all we knew was MC was a Cyborg Super Soldier, they were on the run from Alien Forces, and they found this Ring World...
Wasn't until the books came out and HALO2 came around that all the missing pieces started fitting together.

SO...if I were a director (and I work in the film industry, so I know how they would normally plan something like this)..what I would do is:

1st Halo Movie: Fall of Reach...focusing on the book, and thus, the Spartan Program, while leading into the departure of the Autumn during REACH the game.
The opening sequence, however, before the movie Title came around, would be a rough paraphrasing of what happened in Contact:Harvest.

Think of how they introduce the history of "The Lord of the Rings" with Galadriel kinda giving the viewer an "update"...

I would have Cortana give the same kinda narrative update on all the event that happened between first contact and the beginning of REACH, including the Covenant, birth of the Spartan need, Insurrection/Rebellion and so forth.

Then, get into the meat and potatoes...."Fall of Reach" Focusing on Master Chief as a young Spartan...pre-Mjolnir and up until the Autumn initiates Cole Protocol and jumps into Slpispace.

The 2nd Halo movie would be the first Halo game, or the book "The Flood"
3rd would be "First Strike/Ghosts of Onyx"
4th would be Halo 2/ODST
5th would be Halo 3 and probably in two parts.

Anyways...thats how I would run it...

You sir, deserve a medal.

I think grunts should be the main cast

jk odst whould be coolest

Set on Madrigal or some other planet not many people know about?

Training > First Contact > The Failed Defense > Epilogue.

Similar to Reach but you don't have to worry about Canon errors.

IMDB is not solid proof unfortunatly, however steven speilberg has expressed intrest in a halo move, but he is going about aquireing the rights to make a movie from the books rather than the games as jackson tryed to do.


Anyway, i would like to see a movie made for the Fall of Reach book, but made in 2 parts as i think that there would be too much left out like in so many other movie adaptations of books.

These videos were live-action shorts for Halo 3.

And I'd only like it if they absolutely didn't -blam!- with canon.

No, not from 343.

But if they did and I was forced to pick a story, then I would say post Halo Wars.

but that may stray too far away from the Halo storyline

I don't care who directs it [that much], as long as the music is right. The music is what makes the game for me.

  • 11.14.2010 12:17 AM PDT

music and halo style combat would make it great

I'd like an animatrix style adaptation of Contact Harvest.

Do you mean like they did in Halo Legends:The Package?

A movie adaptation (done well) of Ghosts of Onyx would be amazing...

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

The movie has to be the story of Halo 1. With the sequel being halo 2, and completing the trilogy with a Halo 3 movie.

It's the only way.

  • 11.14.2010 6:54 PM PDT

to be honest i want it to go from the very beginning to the very end

  • 11.15.2010 3:40 PM PDT

sorry but bump :D

Here's the original Halo movie trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sPwUrBKTwY&feature=relate d

The O.D.S.T trailer which i thought was the most interesting

You do know that those are live action trailers for the GAMES not for a movie right? If you don't your'e an idiot just look at the description and if you do then you are a really bad troll. Anyone who isn't an idiot sees as soon as they click on the link is says in the description :"I took the 3 live action trailers and combined them into one video."

Also in response to your question yes I would like to see a Halo movie if it is well done. They have been going on and off about the movie since 2001 and many attempts have been made to make a movie but it always gets delayed or shot down.
