It would deffinatly be a rad movie but to the non halo fans i really dont think they would know whats going on. Theres quite a few technical information that you need to know to understand the deep story line. If the script was rewriten it might work.

i'm not sure if anyone has thought about this, but i have heard you guys say maybe we should film this movie from the marines perspective, or just the spartans perspective(based on the fall of reach book) but has anyone thought about making this movie centered around captain keyes? it'll eliminate seeing the master chief without his helmet on(other than that one scene where keyes sees the MC outside the inquiries room, but just make him wear his armor and it'll be fine) it'll also cover Sigma Octanus where keyes does that fricking awesome maneuver against the covenant, and it'll also cover the fall of reach itself... not sure if its a good idea or not, up to you guys

why do we need actors when we have excellent simulationa of humans as in computer graphics....Think about it...alien 2 was made quite far back...I know the actor who was the sergeant....He's really old now....it would be no use making him sergeant...I'm hearing different opinions about mixing the movie with real actors and the battles with computer graphics.....how about we just do it all in computer graphics....that way we don't need to go through the trouble of finding the perfect actor for master chief! there's a lot of controversy over this issue....hey that's a good thing...ideas and opinions is what makes a forum come alive...

What if they make a halo movie, and then do some sort of fillin the gaps thing with an anime type thing. 3 or 4 films might not be possible, maybe 2 films based on the games and anime things to fill in the gaps.

Oh and if they made the fall of reach they should do a MAD directing thing so that they have the humans getting the "we are their instruments" thing and then flashing back to when MC was a kid nd then working their way up to the message. This would please non halo ppl's. as they'd probably find it wierd if they were watching a serious film and allofa sudfden there's aliens in it, speaking english somehow.

Hello people, this is my very first message to a forum, ive only jus figured it out, hence my name:) My real names matt, matt hoyle, but ppl call me doyle, dopey doyle, or -blam!- head from time to time. I think a Halo movie would be awsome, but they would definately have to get the black dude from the alien films to play the commander from Halo, who strangely dies at the end of Halo combat evolved. (for people who havnt completed it on legendary).
They made a final fantasy film though, and that sucks (like the game) So a Halo film would probably be the best film in the world, after true lies & the matrix trilogy. BIG UP THE UK! out x

Well when ya think about it, a Halo movie would be pretty good, but then again, 2 actually describe the game in a movie, each level and scene would have 2 be alike

I dont know about you guys, but all over the earth, im not sure if there is actually places like the levels

Lets say......................Level 2 Halo

Good luck tryin 2 find a place like that, from the game, it kinda looked like a little box canyon, now yes there a many of em around the world, but 1 as good lookin as that, probly not

Yes i think there should be a halo movie but places like that are freakin hard 2 find

If they made the places them selves, it wouldnt look as good as the real thing.

But then again, bugger what i said just then

BRING ON THE HALO MOVIE!!!!!!!

I dont know if I really understand this 'from X perspective' arguement. I think that using many different perspectives to convey many different things, all whilst still conveying one key, unchanging motif is the way to go.

Why does everyone come in and say the same stuff, which is good in my opinion, but then not even bother to check out the Halo petition page? This is driving me crazy!! I think I finally need to get off me bum, get this AIM thing, and reintroduce myself to the inside circle. Sounds like a lot of work though...

Then we all agree that Halo would be a great movie!
Hipp Hurra!
Now we just need to convince Bungie!

Hey what's up! Well no way...not anime. people should understand that anime is more of an animation then realistic featuristic movie. Think about it...do we want a japanese animated cartoon movie or a futuristic and realistic movie of halo? Think about it people what do we really want...

well, if bungie made a movie, it would have to be 5 times longer then lord of the rings and have many sequels, u wouldn't want a repeat of Star ShipTroopers 2 would yah, the movie should be based on the storyline of the game from halo 1, 2 and continue on. And having the Animated Graphics for big army scenes, looks absalutely crap... well thats my opinion,

NO -blam!- ANIMATED MOVIE SCENES PLEASE

also big action scenes that go for half the movie are awsome, just like Saving Private Ryan,

Yep, a good storyline and a lot of alien killing should satisfy me :) and I mean satisfy in a happy way, jeez

Hey guys, I'm back..

I think some of the new comers missed a point, but I could be wrong and may have just misinterpreted what they meant... 90% of us agree that The Fall of Reach will be the first movie. It sets up the storyline and literally begins the story. Somebody mentioned earlier that we would (general quote) "need to add scenes so the non-Halo fans could understand the movie." I doubt that we would really need to do this so they could understand it, seeing as it will most likely be The Fall of Reach. But new scenes with new points of view brings me to my next point.

P.O.V. - still debating over that. Should they stick to the book or change some entire scenes around? All ideas are welcome.

About the anime subject, if you read back (somewhere around page 18 or so) Celenon brought up a really good point (as he always does) about how anime won't convey the side of Halo that we all know and love.

CG is needed, no doubts about that. Its still being debated as to whether it should be 100% CGI or in a Spiderman-like fassion (Dialogues w/ Actors; Actions scenes w/ CGI)

Thinking of actors can is still a good idea though. Voices will be needed no matter what in this movie. As to whether the voice actors should be the ones from the original game, there should be some new voices in the movie, or if it should be a bit of both, is still up in the air.

Side Note.... nobody seems to be online whenever I'm posting here *tear* just kiddin. I'll back later tonight guys, I may put a few quick posts in if anyone brings up a good point.

By the way, anyone who hasn't visited the petition site and signed it, check the link in my signature. Getting your vote in will surely help our cause.

And with that... I'm gone.

That's what I believe too. Hell, this is Halo we're talking about... if/when there is a Halo movie, of course Bungi and Microsoft are going to be behind it. They've got the technology for it, so I hope they'll definitely do it when they get some time to start a project this big.

I was saying that we need actors (whether they're famous or not) to do the voices of the characters, cuz CGI is only video, not audio. I think it would be best to use the original cast that did the voices in the game for the voices in the movie.
