I'm not too sure if some of you are being honest with yourselves when you say, "Bungie should have all, if not total control of the movie." Bungie isn't that kind of company. They make games, not movies. Albeit, some speculate Halo 2 will be like an interactive movie. I think if they actually planned on letting a production company make the movie (and I'm positive they've had offers in the past) , they'd have to sell the rights to use the story and everything that comes along with it. Perhaps in that particular contract, they could set "boundaries" for the plot. But I'm unfimiliar with that kind of crap.
Chances are, it's never going to happen anyway. Sucks, but that's the truth. Yet we all remain optimistic.
I'm one of the few that think if they ever did let someone make the movie, it should be complete CG. That's the only way I think it could work. That, of course, presents a problem in itself. Would Bungie wish to give control of the animation of it's characters to a CG movie company? The CG company could in essence damage the look of the characters, and the casting of the movie could potentially destroy some of Bungie's work.
Maybe another way it might someday come out, and it's almost plausible: Microsoft ventures into the film industry. Why not create a movie out of a game that already has millions of fans, and help launch the company's filming ambitions?
