ok i just got done reading all of the books like a week ago and well maybe this has been mentioned before but im gonna say it anyways........... is there any talk of them making movies for the books because they really need to. one movie for each book , come on now doesnt this seem like a good idea to anyone else out there. with a story like this how could the not atleast consider turning the (as of right now) trilogy into a series of movies. ok im done for now so im just curious what you people think about this.

No!!! Have you seen any of the video game movies? Hasn't been a decent one yet. They would ruin Halo's good name. I'll keep reading the books though, they rock.

I guarentee it would fail, since there is a major problem in the conception: You don't see the main character's face (Master Chief). To do so would ruin it. And if you don't reveal his face I promise you that audiances won't become attached to his character, since he's a relatively dry and serious person in the first place.

yeah, but we have all become attached to his armor.

kinda like how, to me at least, I became really attached to the predator characters in both of those movies, and arguably, you do see their "faces" but still. k, nevermind. bad example..

But I think we would all become attached to the MC. The only problem would be when all of the spartans have their armor.

P.S. I was REALLY upset when the predator lost :(

That's becasue you've played the game and read the books. But what about the large amount of people that don't know his character outside the movie? He would seem shallow and simple, not something people look for in action heroes.

I'm not trying to flame you or anything, I'm just saying that while you and I would die if the Master Chief died....others wouldn't really care. It's because we've become attached to his story, a story that those watching the movie wouldn't get. But yeah, it doesn't even really matter...it just wouldn't work anyway.

I think the only way to properly do a Halo movie would be to do it in great CG like Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. And I think it's fully possible for an audience to get into a character without seeing his face. Darth Vader was a beloved antagonist, and I think it could work for a protagonist just as well.

well i think the thing about vade was a good point but no i dont like the idea about the cg like final fantasy, i just dont like animated movies alot but i suppose it could work. oh and htey would have to show MC face atleast in da first movie before he gets his armor..........i still think it will work...... dang u pesimistic people

showing his face would piss of alot of halo fans, including me.
It would take away the mystery behind the chief.

To say the least, you make yourself sound like a moron. Btw, Final Fantasy is TWO words.

Yes, actually it has. A lot. In most of the threads it was decided that they didn't want a Halo movie.

i can already see it.
tired and weary from battle, MC retires to his tent for a moments peace. a moment bought with the deaths of hundreds of covenant and humans alike. john sits down and reclines slightly as he reaches up and removes the helmet from his mjolnir mk.vi armor. lo and behold the face of our savior...the man who brought us such blockbuster films as paycheck, daredevil, and reindeer games, ladies and gentlemen the one and only BEN AFFLECK!
if this ever happens, abandon all hope. for we would already be deep within the bowels of hell, without any hope of escape. forced to do nothing but look on, as ben affleck postures and poses -no- while he makes love to the camera. soon, the rest of the armor will become disabled and he will prance around in his standard issued loin cloth, driving all the girls wild as he engages in sweaty, steamy hand to hand combat with every covenant he encounters.
this could go on forever, but i'd like to be able to sleep easy tonight. so i'll end by saying this. in a perfect world, HALO could be the most eagerly anticipated and greatest movie of its time. suffice it to say, we do not live in a perfect world.

yes well needless tosay making halo into a movie would be risky indeed but isnt it the same with every other movie out there, if they got somewone good to direct/produce it , it should be good but theres always those stupid people out there that dont know what there doing. im still stickin with it . HALO movies should be made. and for those who complain about the movie would casue HALO to lose credibility that is BS it would only lose it to those who dont play it or read the books and they dont matter anyways and for those of us who know what its really about it wouldnt matter if its sucks cuz we would get to see MC kick some cov'y ass. but yeah Ben Afleck ....GAG

They couldn't make three movies on the three books. The Fall of Reach could be made as a prologue for the first movie based on Halo 1. Halo 2 would have a prologue of First Strike. If they made a third Halo game, that could be the end of the trilogy of movies (unless they make more than three, not likely)
