Hey guys, I'm back once again... so.... I think we should really get to some sort of business about the movie, so lets think of a subject on the movie to talk about.... how bout possible directors?

COME ON!!!! Somebody has to be alive out there.... well, anyway, I have two ideas for director: 1) Tim Burton and 2) Eric Nylund. I think Tim Burton would add a kickass dark edge to the film, but that's just my opinion. I would still rather see Eric Nylund direct it, especially if its The Fall of Reach. Hell, he wrote the book, he did an awesome job with it, and I personally think he'd be a great director for it. Seeing the from his eyes would be just like seeing the book on film... which is what I'm hoping for. I would still rather see him direct for that reason than some big shot Hollywood guy, ya know? Hell, I still think that he'd do a better job than Burton (despite the fact I love his movies) or Spieldberg or somebody of the likes of them. I still hope what Celenon said about Microsoft buying MGM comes true, being as MGM is a MAJOR movie company, I'm sure it would add a lot to the movie that wouldn't be possible if it were not an MGM film... not that Microsoft and Bungie don't have enough money for it, but MGM is a name people recognize, you know?

Tim Burton would probably head up my list of Hollywood directors, followed up by... noone. Just as long as he doesnt get the Elites saying anything stupid and cheesy...

"WORT WORT WORT"*

*"Get your filthy stinkin hands off me, you damned dirty marine!"

Or even worse the MC wins and then heads home only to find Earth is now actually inhabited by giant tacos which poo ice cream.

Hey It's Moose....I'm back..well yesterday I couldn't go to sleep becasue I kept dreaming that the flood from Halo was taking over the earh. I was living in New York...yah then there's spiderman (tobey mcguire)...He and Mary Jane are walking and Mary jane get abducted and yes she turns into one of them...sad isn't it...Spiderman is out to save new york and I'm one of the ordinary on the street. we're cornered by the flood (I'm with some other bunch of people). Spiderman suddenly breaks through one of the window and says "I'm Back!" Goes for one of the exploding ballon flood type creatures and natuarlly it explodes. Spiderman also turns into one of them. That's where it all ends... Anywyas about the Halo movie...we seem to have no popularity on this particular forum. Right now it's 8:30 in saudi. I wish I could have some sort of time table that would tell what time it is in the 4 different time zones in the U.S. and Newzealand and Australia...And maybe england...anyways... We've lost our name again in the sense of most favored... Okay htis is what we should do...i noticed that when we use this forum like an instant messenger we tun out to be the most popular because people are using it more often and we're talking more often. So use this forum like an instant messenger people. We want that title back only then will people see the link and come in here. Come oon!

My Dear Recon,
I'd just like to say...will you get off my back! You've already pointed out three things about me! You have any more to say. I can tell your a very hostile person who likes beinjg a vigilante (a person who takes authority into his or hers own hand). I'm going to let you know if you don't get off my back I'm going to get the moderators to help me becasue I've done everything reginko has told me to do. You're getting a little annoying. Shouldn't you be at school...or perhaps bugging someone else. You don't have to tell me what's wrong with me or what I should be doing. This is a request don't TALK TO ME...you're trying to get rid of me after what i did to gara of sand. If you want to ask everyone dispised him over here and yes sadly he deserved it. But hey that's okay becasuse you might be up next to bat. I'm fed up with your stupid nonsense. Why don't you go beep beep a cow. Have fun!

Well he's not getting "revenge" for me, because he believed he had cleared up the situation with Celenon, who I'm pleased to say is a nice guy. And I neither deserved it nor did everyone despise me.
Next you might want to listen to him, given that he is probly one of the most senior and respected guys on this forum. And what you are doing is against the rules, whether or not Regienko specifically mentioned it or not. And no Recon is not hostil either, he wishes nothing more than to settle thigns peacefully.
And finally please don't flame people who are trying to help and/or look out for you.
Tristan

Maybe we should start talking about a new topic on the Halo Movie idea. Let's see, what hasn't been talked about or mentioned? Hmm..... Wow, I'm stumped. Have we really covered all the bases on the discussion of this topic? I mean, besides picking a cast (which is probably the most futile part of our discussion because Bungie would choose the actors themselves) we've got nothing. We could keep talking about actors but what then? Are we at a road block or just a deceptive fork in the road?
We have to think of new ideas for the movie until we can start some other activities dedicated to the Halo Movie. Some of these include, creating a chapter (we can't make one at the moment because Bungie is updating that aspect of the Community), and a little project that we're not discussing openly at the moment.

The Bungie Movie...is going to be great without a doubt....for now...we need to get rid of doubts...they're perhaps the most important thing right now...if we can get rid of doubts then we're set for home or the goal...I mean we have to be idealistic...and if not that..we wont get anywhere...Imagination people that's what we need...not if-then statements or doubts...About the master chiefs face...how many times do people see it in the books. I quite haven't read them..........yet...I know this is going to turn out beautifully...everyone in this forum are brothers and we're all trying to achive on goal...our goal = The Halo Movie...we can't really think about a quadrilogy right now...first the movie then we'll have a fine base on which can build upon.. Are you guys getting my drift?

Good celenon you are online..good..now we all need to understand where should the movie start of from...Many people suggest the book or should it be the game? That should be our main issue while our petition is getting it's fruit. So Celenon have any ideas how we can clear this situation? Perhaps it should start off with the book? It create more sense...to the audience or to the people who are watching this...Yes the book a perfect place to begin with...th eplot and story board is well written I'm assuming as it has hit New York big in the early days. Well it wasn't as big as harry potter...which is not a book for the literates...I mean J.k. rowling her self does not know english at it's best.

Yeah, yeah, I'm getting you. I don't exactly remember how many times the MC's face is shown but I would say (give or take) 10 times in some way. That's not counting his childhood. So we can probably do a balancing act with the idea. If it's only 10 times in the movie you would see his face (and I'm only talking about his adult years) then it wouldn't be the world of Halo turning upside-down. I think the "Face Discussion" is getting a little old and is being beaten into the ground. We should ask a new, crisp question for our minds to ponder on. The one problem is, no new minds have come by yet to offer their suggestions (except for a select few and you know who you are). And when people try to offer suggestions they don't read the positives/negatives post and just end up repeating what we already know is the "popular choice."

So please, as a general message to ANYONE out there! Please offer and comments or suggestions we could ponder over in our discussions! We would be of the utmost gratification towards any reasonable and sensible posts on our topic. Thank you.

Yes, the movie should start with the book. And in truth, most people think it should stick with the books because, and I'm making a general quote, "We've already played the games. So a movie about what we've experienced would be futile." I find this statement more true than false. We have already experienced the games. So why be repititious and make a movie about what most people have already experienced themselves?

People are silly to say that... pretty much every movie has been a book at some point or another and movies are still made and enjoyed. Besides, the more important concept for people who already know the story and game is if it will match up to standards.

But Gaara, would you really want a movie about the game we've already played? I mean, any Halo Movie would be good at this point but it would be that much better if it was based on what we can only dream about; what we havent actually seen yet. About the story and game matching up to standards, I would love to make my own director with the swing of my hand that could please all Bungie fans with the creation of a Halo Movie. But I know this isn't possible so I try to stay open minded and hopeful to the fact that if a Halo Movie is made, it will meet even half of my expectations.

Ok Mustafa. I got the perfect plan to spread the word of our topic and cause. And guess what, it's been mentioned already! We should go to other topics, and discuss the relevant issues related to that topic as decisive as possible. In doing so, we'll regain prestige and be advertising our cause in a civil and understandable way! Alright! I'm off to make everyone happy! And remember, all help is greatly appreciated!

The problem with a new story line is that areas may conflict with parts of the storyline that haven't been revealed yet, so you would be forced to wait at least post-halo2 to work on anything seriously, not that you could have a movie in progress before then anyway :P... But I cannot stress enough my view on relvealing the MC's head... it would just be plain wrong!

We have heard your response and it is duelly noted Gaara. But a new story line? That's not what we were going for. The Community wants a movie done on the books, the first movie specifically attributed to The Fall of Reach (the prequel to Halo). I'm still not grasping your arguement unless your saying that following the books' storyline would interfere with Halo's storyline. I'm confused. Maybe you could clear this up for me.

You said making a movie based on what we'd already played would disappoint people, how is that different for what they've already read? (I have never read any of the stories myself) I think it's a mutual confusion right about now.
