I know that it sounds cheesy, but think of the potential a movie about the Master cheif, cortana and the covenant going about their antics mean for Bungie and all the staff at the Seventh column.

I mean just imagine the special effects, WOW, especially as Halo 2 plans to be the biggest GAME of the century, why the movie be the BIGGEST, LOUDEST and most WOW factorish MOVIE of the century too??

Dont discard the Idea, put some thought to it, people at Bungie......

just so long as they don't mess it up
when you mess up the film to a wonderful game it'll be hard to redo

Yep, it has GREAT storyline potential and would be a shame if it didn't do the game justice.

Get the Wachowski (sp?) Brothers to do it (the guys who did the Matrix Trilogy) hehe.

Of course, it would make for a wonderful story. It has few central characters which allows you to go into depth on each. As an added bonus, Jen Taylor would look quite good as Cortana I would think.

I'd consider it as a live action with environments and aliens accomplished via computer graphics. It's been done to good effect in the past particularly with the movie "Pitch Black" and the like.

I think that a Halo movie could be the best movie of all time, or the worst movie of all time. It's very easy to screw up a good story while making a movie. It's the same as how most movies based on books aren't as good as the original books. If someone were to make a Halo movie, there would have to be great bungie influence.

Bungie/Microsoft make so much money on the video game "franchise" that there is just no incentive to risk $150+ million on a feature film that may or may not break even, and at worst will ruin future prospects for the franchise. Five years from now, they might consider it, but only if it appears that the revenue from the games will be slipping. Right now Halo is on the upswing, and hasn't crested yet, so even though the fan base is big, it's going to get bigger with release #2, and maybe bigger with #3. Bungie's looking at stuff like "Q scores" which rank awareness in key demographics. Plus, consider the fact that Halo is already a "cinematic experience" - they've really done a great job of bringing the excitement of a sci-fi action adventure film to the video game. The last thing the Bungie creatives want to do is turn around and have to service (story and character -wise) a feature film in their video games - it's a dangerous "synergy" which can destroy halo's appeal as a console game.

We should all be happy - we're entering a new era where video games rule. They'll make the move when the time is right, which might be never.

Cortana would be CGI, Jen Taylor does not even look like cortana.
