Just sat worrying about 2007.
Apparently the film has been delayed to 2007 and the game has been announced for 2007.
So my concern is the following - if the film comes out first then as Halo fans we will see it straight away,and after seeing the film we will know how the game ends,so as we play through Halo3 its not gonna be one hell of a surprise at the end - which i think it should be being the final instalment.
However if the game comes out first and we play through that then the same is true when we go and see the fikm its gonna be a bit anticlimatic because again we already know the ending due to having beaen the game.
*Why do i have to worry so much*

Unless they do a trilogy of films then the 1 Halo movie will - i would have thought - be all encompasing - the flood,the covenant and certainly how it all ends and thats what the third game deals with - i might be wrong

I thought the film was just about the fall of reach, not the full story, and even if it was more than just the fall of reach i dont think the movie would reach the ending of halo 3 because they would have to cover a lot of story and would probably run out of time. I think there will be 2-3 halo movies to explain the story.

Yer i hope your right on this as something so rich and full of history and characters couldnt be crammed in to 150 minutes with justice.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

The movie will be The Fall of REACH, and Halo CE (an the extras shown to us in the Flood novel)..I hope it's like 4 hours long...lol

The second movie would be First Strike to the end of Halo 2 including the events from the fourth novel

The third will be Halo 3...=D


The first movie could give a hinto to the surviving SPARTANs so people will stop -blam!-ing about there bing no spartans in Halo 3.

ODST for life

the movie will not show how the end of the game/s, my guess is the movie is the about the begining of everything, back when John was recruited as a child, about hes training and the other spartans, and then it will show the battle of reach. i doubt they will make a movie about the end of the game/s. so i wouldnt worry about it to much.

they can make money if they make more movies, there will most likely be a trilogy of the movies.

No, the movie was announced for 2007, then delayed until 2008.

Once again, I don't give a damn how long it takes to make these things. I only care if they're good games or movies. Take till 2009 if you need to! Just make a good one!

I don't think a date for the movie has ever been announced. Everything is just rumors and speculation.

Peter Jackson, who directed the Lord of the rings is the Executive Producer, not the director.
