I won't link the article, but you can find it on IGN movies. It states that Alex Garlands' script has been dropped and that a new writer is on board. Now, I want to hear it from the horses mouth. If this were an idle rumour I wouldn't waste this forum's time, but the article has a direct quote from an interview with the guy.

This is a quote from the article:

- In an interview with the GameSetWatch website, Weiss revealed his enthusiasm at being hired to write Halo:

"Yeah, I'm pretty excited about it. And I did always think there was a lot more to the Halo universe than most games — I remember switching to "easy" mode on the first game, so I could plow through it more quickly and find out what happened next." -

Now moderators, if you're going to blacklist me, fine. But in a pre-emptive strike, I think the fans and followers of Bungie and Halo have a right to be made aware of this kind of information.

Thank you.

P.s. If it is true, why let us find out this way?

P.P.s. If I get blacklisted and it turns out this guy IS writing the script, I... well, I'll get a moral victory :)



PLEASE NOTE:

This post is now on the Underground forum, so to discuss further, please post there.

Thank you.

Would you rather have a crappy script now, or a much better, Bungie-quality script later?

Erm... for 5 million squid it can't have been that bad, and secondly, I trust Alex Garland - a proven novelist and scriptwriter - ahead of some guy who's never written a movie script before, except for his current job, writing Enders Game for Wolfgang Peterson - who, lets face it, is making some tosh films.

Its for the movie, Alex Garland did not write a script for any Halo game, nor will he ever.

Does this topic relate in any way to Halo 3; the Forum page your posting on?

Are you trying to be clever? Rhetorical? Should I move it elsewhere? Is it offending you? Would you like to tell me where to put it?
