Hello fellow Halo fans. I'm Currently trying to become a movie director at New York Film Academy and I've been doing a lot of work with film. I've been a fan of the series ever since halo 1 and I've always bought the legendary edition. There was nothing more I wanted to see then a halo movie. But after it always being taken from under someone's feet, we've decide to give it a try. My team and I would like to try and bring Halo to the big screen with hollywood. We need a good script to convince them though. So for starters we would like to know where in the series would you want to see the movie start off from, and if it should follow the game, book, or a new take on it? All opinions are welcome and will be taken account of. Please be as specific as possible and feel free to offer suggestions for new ideas.

Thank You

Thank you everyone for comments and for voting.

Our team will check this thread often and see where to begin and once we've started we will post a part of the script for review from you guys for your contribution and please share any opinions on the portion of the script once it's been posted

I think you need to ask more important people first before you can start making a Movie out of this. Besides, Bungie doesn't control Halo anymore...

I would really like to see Fall of Reach. :)

  • 09.17.2011 9:42 AM PDT

Thank you for your comment I am aware that 343 industries now controls Halo. Morgan who is in charge of the New York Film Academy said we were open to make a script, and if the script is a success we are going to propose it to 343 industries for opinion.

  • 09.17.2011 9:43 AM PDT

Personally my vote to, but all opinions are accepted.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Bungie is no longer managing the Halo Universe. While our Halo-related forums and stats remain available, be advised that "official" answers and support about the Halo Universe (past, present, or future) are not.

I like that you are doing this, but this topic doesn't belong here. I suggest to go to halo.xbox.com, go to the forums, and post it there. Microsoft/343 Industries are involved with Halo now, not Bungie, so you'll probably get more opinions and stuff.

If you can get the rights to actually make it, then make it to where it starts off from the beginning:
Johnson's missions (maybe) just before the creations of the Spartan II's and III's; the kids getting abducted and trained; the augmentations; their experiences over their years of their service; the Spartan III program; the fall of Reach; Installation 04 and the flood; the attack on Earth and the second Halo ring; the fight on Onyx; the Ark and the beginning of the Reclaimer trilogy.

And don't make this some sh1ty 2 1/2 hour movie: make it long. Like 9-10 hours. Longer even. Long enough that people will make a line 3 miles out the theatre's doors, and it makes people want to run all the way to the back of the line to watch it again and again.

Wait until their is a solid image of the Cheif's face so that a big-name actor can play the role. That was the real problem with why there hasn't been a Halo movie yet: big-name actors don't want a role that doesn't allow them to take the helmet off and show people what John looks like. They want to be able to take the helmet off and say, "This is what I look like." Maybe get Jen Taylor to voice Cortana again.

Basically, set it across all the Halo universe from the time just before the Spartans show up, to the time where the entire series ends. Because by the time you get characters, scripts, actors to play the characters, and every thing else, you'll start it and Halo 5 will be coming out and from then on you'll just want to finish the whole thing off. All of it. Every game, every book, everything.

Show how the crew of the Pillar of Autumn came together; show how Blue Team was formed; show how colonies fall... How Reach fell. Show everything. Maybe start the whole thing off, with when the Human-Covenant War started. Start there, and tell the amazing story of how all came to be.

Is that good? Like, is that what you were kinda looking for?

Yes thank you for your comment it is very detailed and expresses a lot of ideas. This is the kind of comment that will deeply help with our script. 9-10 hour movie won't work though it will have to be split up if its 9-10 hour movies. When you talk about Johnson's missions do you mean contact harvest?

We aren't here to ruin your experience (Well Qbix is).

Fall of Reach would be amazing.

Something like that yeah. But also something like the mission TREBUCHET. It was in Contact Harvest, but just stuff like that. And it doesn't nessicarily have to be a 9 hour run-on movie; it could have intermissions in it here and there. That's how I think Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows should have been; an intermission instead of breaking it up. But I can't really control what directors do so :/

I really don't want to see a Halo movie. Most videogame-based movies are very unsuccessful anyways.

If you are serious about it, I suggest you go for something entirely new. Good luck.

Ok Trytikan thank you for your help

i will definetely consider it. Our academy director Morgan can help us on the run time for it. If it gets accepted once we're done with the script I'll be directing it, hopefully we will recieve a bigger budget for this film. We work in Bad Robot's building which is owned by J.J. Abrams so if he could produce it then the budget should be no problem.

Sweet. Any chance I could star as an ODST/Marine? I don't really care much for being the lead role, but as long as I can help you out, I'll be here.

I was, but your mom left early so I had to cut the trip short.

Can you prove that you are affiliated with this New York academy and that you work in Bad Robot's building? This all seems like a ton of bull-blam!-

Righ right. Nothing big. Plus, the money I get will help to get my gaming company up and running, and maybe get some new equipment for my band. And maybe help me get roles in other movies afterwards.

Everybody who is interested in this person's offer please consider that...

This may be a scam;
This person isn't who he/she claims to be.

Edit: You still haven't proven that you are actually a part of this "team" you boast about. Telling me to "google it" doesn't make you credible.

First off, I suggest not cramming it into a 2 hour movie. If you have to split it up into two parts, do so. Make it at least 4 hours, give the story and Halo justice.

My suggested timeline:

Narrator explains Human Civil War, and the SPARTAN II program. Don't spend to much time on this. Maybe after that, you could go on with brief clips of each spartan getting obducted, and a longer scene for John when they find him playing King of the Hill. After that I suggest speeding through the years of the Spartan's training, with short clips depicting what they do/are becoming, etc.

Then, move to harvest. Instill fear in the viewer and audience and bring the Covenant in with a ferocious- alienous feel. After, perhaps other planets being Glassed, then to Reach. Then to Installation 04, Earth, Delta Halo, etc. etc. etc.

I told you to google it so you could find the official website. My team isn't a picked team of mine it's an assigned one and I'm picking to start this project on our free time. How is this a scam? What am i trying to scam? This thread is simply just to see where the fans would like to see a movie start from. I've been attending it for awhile and I already Have 2 6 week program diplomas from previous times. Here's the official website http://www.nyfa.edu/film-school/
