you have to be truely stupid if you think live action is better and its gonna work, first off halo is a wicked game woud you have chief's voice any other way? no it defines the meaning of him, so live action changeinng the main characters voice woul dbe like making halo into a rock and roll contest. just not gonna happen. so CG would be best so they can use teh computer version's voices.

Oh, and furthermore. I think that the whole thing should be CG. What good video game movies have you seen, name two and i'll rethink the whole live action thing, i can name a whole bunch that were pretty bad (Mario Bros., Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat ((and all of it's spinoffs)) ) The final fantasy movie was probably the best "movie" made from a video game franchise, even though the fanboys thought it sucked and it did bad at the box office. Square really dropped the ball on that one.


How about Resident Evil and Resident Evil: Apocolypse?

Halo Movie: Worst. Idea. Ever. Yes, it even beats Crystal Pepsi.

And another thing, what's up with all the anime bashing? What kind of anime are you guys watching? Pokemon? When you're old enough, try on some Akira, then you can put your two cents in about anime. Besides, I'm sure most, if not all of the creative force behind Bungie recognize Halo's debt to anime and other Asian sources.

Ok, we've heard your opinion. Luckily, we don't flame in this thread. We consider it taboo. And yes, I have seen Akira. Not only that but I've seen, all of Evangelion, Spriggan, Vampire Hunter D, all of every Gundam series', Ranma 1/2, Animatrix, Zone of the Enders, Hellsing, Princess Mononoke, and SO many more that don't come to mind at this moment. And ya know what? I still don't think that a Halo Movie should be made with an anime touch. It's just not Halo; CG is. And we don't "bash" anime here, we just try to point people in the right direction. The people have spoken and they don't want to see an anime Halo Movie. Period. Besides, last I checked, the Japanese despise the xbox and is the least seeling at the moment in Japan. So why would they consider making a movie about something that's not even popular in their own country?
And Mattacus, if you're going to say making a Halo Movie is the, "Worst. Idea. Ever," in a thread full of Halo Movie enthusiasts you had better give a good reason why you don't think it would be a good idea. Without one, you are considered to be bordering spam and as you should already know, spam is unaccepted on these Forums. Good day to you sir!

Chill, Cel. Like unto you, I am merely expressing my opinion. Since most people won't read through all sixty-plus pages of a thread, in order for my opinion to be widely disseminated (wide enough for a sizable fraction to be exposed to it), I am required to post it from time to time. In my post, I'm not calling the other posters "idiots" or "noobs" or anything else that detracts from my point.

I'm only saying what must be said, in all fairness to those of us who think the idea for a Halo movie should never be mentioned. It is such a silly idea, that I'm willing to wager that the idea was originally brought up in a marketing meeting, subsequently thrown in the trash, and then, accidentally dug out by a bungie.net forum-monger.

As far as your anime experience goes, good job on watching a lot of TV (and reading, if it wasn't dubbed). Nevertheless, I'd be willing to propose, based on your opinions expressed about the genre, your time watching has been largely wasted. Try observing anime, and any other entertainment medium/genre, with an objective eye, keen on interpreting style and symbolism. You will find, that anime and its style have much to offer any movie--even a movie whose mere mention is Abomination.

And if you reply, try to be an adult about it, and keep the emotions in check.

Terman, I think you're missing the point. The jets are cool. And they have been for some time. We are merely exchanging opposing ideas. Now, please, take your pinky off the shift key, and step away from the computer...

Settle Termanater, settle. Its not that big of a deal.

In regards of a Movie, I'm still neutral on wether or not it should be made. Still undecided on Live action and CG. And also unsure on basically everything else.

Yup, I'm a big help.

guys, this is who im gonna play in the halo movie.

Im a young jackal who always gets picked on by the bigger and badder elites. Only once the fighting starts they all die off and im in it until the end. You'll see me as the jackal, Mc ends up battling with near the end and i have this courageous death. I jack a ghost from a marine, and I start driving towards MC when he pulls out his sniper rifle and completely blows my ghost's left wing off sending me to the ground in front of him. Im only to quick to pull out shield and block his melee attack to my head. This upsets him and so he blasts my right arm off (making me shieldless). Now all I have is my trusty plasma pistol. I pull off a few quick shots but MC throws a blow of his pistol at me in the chest. As soon as the blow hits me to ground he shoots me twice in thigh with his sniper rifle. Now all i can do is wait for my doom. Thats when he throws down the sniper rifle and swaps it for a rocket launcher. Out comes two plasma grenades from his pocket that he instantly sticks to me, and right after that he shoots a rocket into my shoulder sending me into the air flying. Im just barely alive when the two plasma grenades blow me into smithereens, while Im in mid air.

So you can see that I put up a tremendous fight only to perish as the last jackal.

This will be in the movie I gaurantee it.

Vanilla is right, Terman. Nobody is questioning your intelligence, halo devotion, or halo skills (although I feel like you are over-compensating for something). And yelling doesn't lend credibility to your cause. So, why don't we follow vanilla's example and calm down and get into the spirit of Halo. Why don't you come up with your own scenario. I'm sure if they ever make a movie, your ideas will be the first they consider.

And let me add this: Vanilla's idea of the last Jackal standing is the first creative/original idea to be produced on this thread. I might actually watch Vanilla's movie. Any booger-nut can come up with "Let's make a movie," as if that word alone was enough for a good idea, but it takes some real balls to actually develop an idea independent of the marketing-strategy style of thought that has flooded this thread from the beginning. Props to Vanilla for actually thinking for himself.

Good evening, ladies and germs... The petition has reached a total of 75 signers. I have not checked the site itself for hits, however, last I checked it was over a thousand.

Hello Zog. I havent been to the site yet but make sure you update the numbers if we do have 75 signers. That's good that we're moving fast. A few days ago it was at 40 or so.

And to Mattacus, I'm sorry if I lashed out. I despise people who post opinions without a reason for thier actions. I sometimes can be blunt with my opinions also but I try to keep in mind that a comment must be sensible and provided with some reason. And about your anime comments, I just watch it for relaxing. I dont "study" them in any way. I dont find that's what they're meant for. I watch what I can - even my old girlfriend made me watch anime like "Oh My Goddess" and "Love Hina." But it's all just for R & R.

About Halo being an anime movie, I still am opposed to the idea. The Halo community has, for the majority, voted out anime because they dont want to see the Master Chief as "cartoony." Now I know, anime isn't cartoons and even I have to tell some of my friends that but when it comes to CG being compared to anime, CG just looks that much more realistic. We're just trying to follow Halo's guidlines here. Besides, not only does CG look more realistic but it also looks much more sharper and "cleaner," when done right of course. And we know how Bungie is with perfection. I'm not saying anime is bad or something along those lines, I'm just trying to say the Master Chief doesn't need to be drawn when he could be computer rendered.

i think i can make a movie, i have really good ideas but nonly i understand if they was made then everyone would understand them. and true so TRU! AKIRA is one of the best if not the best old animated movies around, it was made not that long ago but for when it was made it was a really good hit, and still pawns most new animes.

( Does anyone know where i can get the halo xbox special from? website so i can order it )

Yes, Akira does own most animes.

But to get back on track it'll most likely be the actual book The Fall of Reach which will be the basis of the first movie's script. Eric Nylund will be the "go-to guy" if any changes are required. What we need is a competant director to make this movie great. If possible, I would have Joseph Staten (Halo's cinematic's director) direct the movie. Most of the other components would just fall into place after that. Except maybe if a form of Live Action is chosen for the Movie and actors have to be chosen. Whatever comes to pass.

termanator, not to get off topic, but Matticus is one stupid sonovabich!!! he is a complete Jackass from his own little perfect world. Please do not try to befriend him. He is, like I said on the old forum, and this one, a mother fuking prick.
