Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.

Its all about tha Foxx........if you don't see why it should be him, watch jarhead. You'll understand.

Why the hell would WETA go through all the time and trouble of modeling, rendering and animating a human character with CGI instead of casting an actor? That's just stupid.

Three letters for you. CGI.

why?
I think the whole movei should be CGI..you get the same voices in, and you get people who actually look like the characters..making the movie far, far more enjoyable.

Pfft, please no. We'd have another Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within on our hands. A successful property kept to its medium does not a hit film make.

I think a big part of the appeal of the film, for me at least, will be in seeing how the film crew and the talented folks at WETA Ditigal are able to translate the Halo franchise into a successful film, with real actors and props. CGI is nice, but it will never replace good fluid acting and real onscreen action.

If they go with real actors, they better make Cortana totally CGI (not even modeled after a real actress)..

And as for Johnson..get someone unknown..who is good at acting..and bears a resemblence (no, Jackson, Foxx, and the Washington guy don't look a thing like him..)..seeing some young rich guy playing a war-torn soldier would really take the mood out of the movie..

I agree, and Samuel L. Jackson is getting too old.

I definately think that Cortana will be done in CGI, there's no doubting that. She's an easy guess.

I don't think the crew should have to go out of their way to make sure and find someone who isn't famous to play the role. If they've got someone with a film reputation who's perfect for the role, fine. If not, fine. I just hope they find some actors that can fit into their roles well enough to sell the film.

Hey, what the heck does David Scully look like anyway? (Sargeant Johnsons actual voice actor) Can anyone find a photo? 'Cause I can't! The search is.... on?!?

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.

Or maybe the guy who played President Palmer on the show 24. Dennis Haysbert is his name. He looks like a badass.

I would say none of them. I would rather the guy who voiced him also played the part. But I don't know what the guy looks like sooooo..... If i had to choose i would say Samuel L. Jackson with a mustache. XD

As much as I would love it to be Damon Wayans because he is funny as, I think Samual L Jackson would be better for it.

KEITH DAVID
why has nobody said him, he looks just like johnson.
if you think about it the only people you would have trouble casting are johnon, captain keys, mirander and admiral hood because there the only people who's faces you see all the rest are either marines who we don't care what they look like, covenant or the MC who will be behind a mask the whole movie (he better be, i don't ever want to see his face, it would just ruin the whole thing for me).

Actually Lord Hood looks exactly like the guy who voices him. I saw it in an extra video somewhere. It was freaky.
