Yeah, I'd love to see it. A few points:

* You've got to have a Hollywood director... sorry.... but you need someone with the inspiration and genius to find a way to translate the most lovable aspects of this game to a cinematic medium. Are there any Director/Halo Addicts out there? You really have to love MC to apply.

* MC is not the most expressive character. A man - excuse me, "almost a man" -, of few words. Fewer expressions. I would welcome even an occasional Eastwoodesque response:

Cortana: "We need to commandeer one of those Banshees..."
MC: "Nag, Nag, Nag..."

> The visor works great for an FPS. MC becomes everyman - the ultimate expression of our personal heroic aspirations. Putting a face on him would really kill the connection we feel to the character.

> I'm a recent convert. My nephew got the game this spring. The first time I saw him shooting at grunts - from a distance they first look all the world like waddling garden gnomes - I called it "-blam!--lo". The first time if saw the flood, I laughed... until I played the game. The experience of viewing and the experience of playing are quite different. That's the charm of a good FPS - get the player hooked into the physics of the game and it doesn't matter if he/she is being attacked by a swarm of rubber chickens THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL ***YOU*** !!!. I would hope that the cinematic xform of our dreaded Covenant and Flood foes wouldn't leave theater patrons rolling in the floor LOL.

> A good FPS provokes the fight or flight reponse and provides a seamless, natural feeling interface for player response. Bungie excels at this! Action is intense, reaction swift and precise, and you're dragged headlong into the action of game. (I didn't realize how important good UI and game physics are until we went back and played MOH) I think the closest anything in a film has come to provoking a HADR (that's Halo ADrenaline Rush) for me might be the scenes of the Sentinal attack in Matrix 3. That's a tall order. It took 2 previous movies to build that kind of response.

> I think that the time plot building in a movie would just destroy the whole experience. I't just becomes too tempting to turn away from the MC/Cortana relationship and the personal struggle to explain placement and circumstances and characters and motivations blah, blah, blah... JUST SHOOT SOMETHING ALREADY!!!!

> But all things said, I really really really really want to see a movie made from the game that brought to life all the highlights of every Sci-Fi novel, short story, movie andTV series I've ever loved. The universe that Bungie has created in this is every bit as full of potential as that of Star Trek, Star Wars, Alien... I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE IT SUCK. That would break my heart.

and i would like the movies to last more than an hour alot of cg moives last an hour or less :(
and the movie should be made afther halo 2 is done and that it wont take away time from any possible content downloads!

i dont think they should make a movie for the halo and halo 2 games... they should make movies only for the books that way like THE LORD OF HALO said anyone who has not played the games will get some backround. making the games into movies will only make it wierd to all of us who have played the games. i got plenty out of the games and dont need anyone to try and change it only to be given the chance to **** it all up... anyone understand where im coming from here?

Has anyone been bugging Bungie about this? I mean, a petition is great and all... But a bunch of signatures and a clogged email system are two very different things...

Don't fret guys, Golden God, a cousin of a guy in Bungie (Paul Bertone), has come to your rescue. Here are my inputs, and I'll get my cousin to have a look into this, even though he's an evil, dirty man that doesn't reply to my emails.

**********!!!!!!!Possible Book Spoilers!!!!!!!**********


Yes, I agree that you shouldn't show the John's (The Master Chief) face, as the adult.... to an extent. I think that is only right to show his face as an adult after Bungie shows it, but if they, Hollywood, use the single part in Halo: The Flood, which is a great novel but doesn't compare to the other two, where the chief has to see the Major and he is told to leave the armor by his bunk they will have to. They have to include the chapters of Halo: The Fall of Reach where they are children, it is an essential part of the storyline, so there they will show John's face as a child and teenager. I have wanted a movie to be made since I read the first book. All we can do is hope that when it is made, because it will be made eventually, it will be as good as the books and follow the storyline of the book better than the cheap and chopped of versions of the HP books!


I'm not attempting to flame you at all here buddy, but have you ever seen Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back? It's the first time you get to see the emperor's real face after he's gone through his human stage (he turns into an unhuman thing, with humanoid parts ;)) Meanwhile, Darth Vader was talking to him. He has to put on his helmet at that part. So the machine does it. They could do a scene like that for the major part. You don't really see him, but you see the back of the chair. And right before the scene ends, it could show a small portion of the left side if his face. I don't know if that made any sense because I haven't watched that movie in a while, but I hope you can get the point out of it.

Also, we shouldn't even let Hollywood into it. Mainly, we could get Kurt Russell to be the Master Chief. Why? Because he does Movies that can relate to Halo really well, and he sounds just like John. As an added bonus, we could have Cameron Diaz as the voice of Cortana (from Halo Babies, the Animated Series).

My Last Input is this shouldn't be some "In Theaters Soon!" all over the TV thing. It should be a movie, that is not advertised on TV. Only on The Bungie site. It shouldn't be some mainstream movie. It should be an underground one, that only people that go on the Bungie site will know about for a short time. Then it will get all over the press. But the thing is guys, we are the loyal Bungie fans that love Bungie for what great things they've done in this world. The Press can get all over it as they want, and they'll want to make it mainstream. That's when Bungie can take out thier can of whoop ass and not sign any contracts for it. For Example, some big movie station (Like Max or iMax or whatever the hell it is) wants to air it. When they air stuff, its basically on for 24/7. Also, most of the money will be going to them. But if Bungie should say no, they will tease the press, and make thier next Underground Movie get even more attention. All the while, people will start blaming the Press for not releasing any info. It will also give us Bungie Fan's a chance to flask in glory as we do see Bungie take over the world, just like thier original plan.

Those are my points guys, I hope you enjoy them, and I'll check back on this later. Thank you for your time.

From,
Phil Gauthier

P.S. The Mario Bro's movie did suck.

Very Nice Golden God. If what you say is true and you are the cousin of one of our famed Bungie team then you will be an integral part of our cause. FYI, we had nearly 2,000 replies in our last thread to the Halo Movie. We had to make a new thread to "clean up" the mess and chaos we left behind. This thread is dedicated to a deeper thought of making the Halo Movie possible. We are now driving our way into Bungie HQ to make our voices heard. Any help will be extremely appreciated by anyone here on the forums.


Oh, and MUSTAFABIQAL (sorry but I had to get your attention), if you read Reikingo's little addition to my first post in this thread (at the bottom of my post), you'll see that our old thread is still intact just locked. We still have our foothold. Do not lose hope.

Honestly, I prefer the cinematics in the game. There are way more than 2 hours worth, and it just does a better job at telling the story (and you get to play in between them!)

Not to say that I wouldn't go see the movie if it was made.

I'm trying to keep this thread alive...cuz 1) the threat *blam*ing rules, and 2) to be honest, this whole Movie idea is great. We all know how awesome the storylines are. I think that Bungie and Microsoft should take total control of the movie if they do make one (which I hope they do). We'd have to wait a long time for it though. If they made it in 4 months, we all know it'd suck, well, at least suck compared to what it can (will) be. As to showing John's face, they'd have to. Its in the storyline, and if they want the movie to be perfect, STAY TO THE STORYLINE. To be honest, this can really turn into something great, and I hope to God it does. I'll keep posting later on guys.
