Subject: What should the Halo Movie be about?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Personally, methinks it should be about Contact Harvest. It details the very start of the war, giving new fans the immediate knowledge of what is going on and why, and it would probably be more realistic in terms of budget it would require to pull off.

A Trillion threads of this, Sierra. But, I could see Fall Of Reach being made into a movie. Expect a trailer in the Battle: LA trailer.

I like the Mk V armor.

Aftermath. Brutes have reorganized, Sangheili lay in ruins(Cosidering they had about 20 ships left compared to a few thousand, and no, they CAN'T rebuild them).

Humans are helping Sanghelios and giving them frigte blue prints, and then boom, they get but raped up the bumhole by brutes and someone has to save them.

You get my drift.

After reading these I think it would be great to start off with the story of Halo CE and/or the Flood. This should engage and introduce everything to newcomers of the Halo Universe and be just as awesome a movie for the original fans. To me the entire Halo Universe has an awesome story but Halo CE is still my favourite game. After that if they got enough sales they could add both sequels and prequels like they are doing for LOTR and did for Star Wars. Also, keep in mind that the first story we were ever given was that of Halo CE with a bit of info in the manual. Also, one of the trailers can give people enough information before watching the film.

First 15-20 minutes should be The fall of Reach. Then Halo: CE. With of course, something in the end leading up to Halo 2.

Your thinking of a two hour movie. I want a three o five hour movie. Maybe about a bilion dollers in budget. I'm serious. They don't do that, guranteed flop.

The thing is, no one makes films that long anymore. They could do it in two parts though. Of course anything less than 2.5 hours would definitely fail.

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

I wouldn't mind a movie based off the book The Fall of Reach. But I would want the Halo movie to be based off of Halo Combat Evolved. If it is based off of Combat Evolved, I would want the opening credits to depict the space battle portraying the fall of Reach, and the Autumn entering slipspace.

Well, Captain you were there. Care to explain what happened?

A movie should not actively repel first-time watchers.

Well you see after ONI devised the plan to launch a surprise attack on a Covenant Cruiser, the Spartans were called to the Autumn for the attack. However on August 30th,a Covenant fleet arrived in the Epsilon Erandi solar system. I ordered the ship back to Reach, but it was too late. The Covenant had arrived.

Initially the battle went well, our MAC cannon defense repelled the Covenant. But more and more ships kept arriving. The Covenant began to land their ships near the north and south poles, under the defense grid. From there they began to take out the generators powering the MACs. The Spartans left the Autumn to defend them. By the time John-117 returned with Sgt Johnson and a badly injured Linda, we had to retreat. I initiated Cole Protocol and ordered the ships AI, Cortana, to prepare the Autumn for a random slipspace jump hoping to lead the Covenant away from Reach and, hopefully, Earth.

However I would only have the movie show the space battle and Reach being glassed to portray the power of the Covenant. The challenge is explaining the Human-Covenant War in a matter of a 5 minute opening credit scene.

HALLELUIA

Makes perfect sense.

Either the first Halo game or a new character in the Halo universe (I'd like a ODST squad with a Spartan leader, if those can possibly exist in the universe).

Anything else will cause canon fanboys to rage if they miss a small detail (which they will, since it is extremely hard to keep the original canon intact with video game movies).

Probably not. ODSTs hated Spartans.

If it was to not be based off of The Fall of Reach or Halo Combat Evolved I would suggest Contact Harvest.

Hey, you clicked me! Check my armor, stats, and gameplay if you want. Have a nice day.

If they do release a Halo film, what do you think it should be about? I'd say the events of Halo 1, but a there are other options that have been considered. At one point they were thinking of basing it on The Fall of Reach novel. We have all these games, novels, comics, etc. that is could be based on, or even an completely new story. What do you think it should be?

Also, keep in mind what they did with the Doom movie.


they should meke it from the events of CE
through halo 2
and halo 3 (with particular emphasis on "The Covenant" and "Cortana"
Finishing with the level "Halo" and master chief's NEAR death

Yes I agree, some sad ODST music would fit nicely. Perhaps the battle of Reach rages on the screen while the words flash and the music plays? And I know this from my own experience and the book Halo: The Fall of Reach.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect


:)
The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

The novel of The Fall of Reach.

It would be the perfect movie if they can pull it off right.

  • 02.19.2011 8:09 AM PDT

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

The first 1/4 of the movie should be taken from the Fall of Reach, introducing the Spartans in training and explaining the war, then the rest of the movie could basically be Halo:CE.

  • 02.19.2011 10:08 AM PDT

Buck/reach.
I want to find out how his squad died and what there mission was. A movie could really turn it into something amazing.

Him apearing for 3 secs in halo reach was not what i wanted XD

I personally think it should be a 10 hour long or something like that, movie, covering from the fall of reach all the way to the legendary planet, and then detailing what MC did there.

Me too. I was really hoping we could have a mission with all the ODSTs of the squad (except Mickey and the Rookie of course, because Buck says neither of them were on Reach)

The Fall of Reach.

I just had a sudden thought. Who's seen the GI Joe movie? Remember all the flashback things? The story could be Halo CE, but they have flashbacks from both Contact Harvest, Cole Protocol, and Fall of Reach. The Cole Protocol flashbacks could be for Keyes, the Fall of Reach for Keyes, Cortana, and the Chief, and Contact Harvest for Johnson or other characters.
