As a kid...Me. And I'm not just saying that. I look like him as they describe and have his same exact attitude. But thats just me.

My vote for the MC's actor goes to Pee Wee Herman!

Seriously, I'm almost positive that Bungie has said they won't allow a Halo movie since they don't want the game's rep. damaged by a badly done movie. I guess I agree with this. Although I think a Halo movie would be awesome if done right, if it wasn't, then that could hurt sales for the game. Plus, it would most likely get an R rating, and I choose not to watch so-rated movies.

Just my thoughts,
Poocho :)

I demand an apology for trying to taint the Chiefs image and good name with even suggesting that any hollywood actor could ever play his part. The fact of the matter is no actor could ever do the Chief justice. If I ever saw Vin Diesel (I have no desire to figure out the correct spelling of his name, reason being - The Fast and the Furious) anywhere near a Halo movie I'd probably cry.

i think the whole sumuel jackson thing is a good idea but has everyone forgotten about the sarge from aliens he would be perfect even better than good ol' sammy jackson


He is exactly who I was thinking to be Sgt. Johnson, and that is a good movie. Also since the guy would be wearing the mjolnir armor it should be the guy who plays his voice that plays MC. But there would have to be well known actors too. That or an animated thing.

I'm not very big on well-known actors, they sort of ruin the imersion for me. I'd much rather see new faces. Come to think of it, the only "big" actor I could see in it (besides the two sarges) would be Edward Norton proably as a Helljumper or a squad leader or some such. I don't know, his face and voice just match the halo style well in my book.

I think jesse ventura should be in the movie thoug...just as a marine sarge like stacker or something


He was my governor. Anyway, if they made a Halo movie I think they should make it with a bunch of unknown actors so people don't watch it just because some certain person is in it. Halo fans only should get to see something like that. None of this "Oh my God! Brad Pitt is so hot in that M-something armor...hehe" crap that all the dumb girls would be saying. All in all I don't think Halo should be made into a movie, the games are a good enough story and show the way it is.

You want an actor, not a star. Someone who can give MC personality despite our never seeing his face. Not some generic damn dork like vin deisel or the rock. i don't want MC to say something witty and wooden everytime he shoots something.

Jason Patrick is a cool actor with a good voice who has been unlucky enough to step into some major flops (Speed 2, anyone?). So you could get him cheap. He's been cool in movies like Narc and Lost Boys and Rush.

if they did a movie of halo MC face would be revealed somewhere. the only exception to this is if they did it based on the game, but i think fall of reach as a more likely film plot to use and in that (plus first strike, i think) you see his face
i totally agree with you guys saying not to use a big star name, that would ruin it but look at it this way, if the ladies did find MC and some other annonymous marines atrractive, the film would be a blockbuster hit and we could get a triology out of it.
mmmmm, halo trilogy

i still can't help but think if hollywood ever got their hands on the rights to a HALO movie, we'd be seeing ben affleck or matt damon or some other cheese d!ck playing MC. i personally think they should get the guy who plays jason in all of the friday the 13th movies. first off, he's a monster. the guy is massive. second, he does all his own stunts. and lets be real, we'd all want to see MC doing all kinds of crazy crap on screen. so let's get a guy who does all of that. third, he's used to not getting his face shown on screen. so we wouldn't have to worry about some big name actor pressuring anyone to get his face on camera more. anyone seen Troy yet? jeebus. they should have just called it "Brad Pitt starring as Achilles" for kcuf sake.

My girlfriend is mad at me because I'll only call Troy, "Brad". It butchers the story, just watch the LOTR trilogy and be happy.

i know the film isn't great but if it we're like FF spirits within (maybe even better CG) it would be amazing and bungie could be there every step of the way to ensure it isn't messed up

If Bungie actually watched over the development of the movie, Joe Staten in particular, it might turn out pretty well. The ideal combination would be the game voice actors, Joe directing, and the movie actually made by Square Pictures (the folks who made the Final Fantasy movie). It's unlikely, though.

Uhhh no one really out in the market who's well known could play this part well. George Clooney isn't bad-ass enough. Bruce Willis is old, and definately wouldn't have the right shape body for it... As for the others, much of the same could be said.

You'd have to find some 'no-name' with the right characteristics. Granted any of the above COULD play secondary characters.

If there has to be a movie is has to be computer animated or you wreck the feel of it. The guy who voices him in the games should be his voice in the movie.


I completely agree! If there is ever to be a movie I would want it to be CG just like Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. All of the original voice actors could play their roles to the T and it could be directed by Joe and Jason themselves. I wouldn't care if it wasn't just about MC. Don't get me wrong, he should definitely be lead role. I just think that it would be nice to hear someone elses viewpoint of the battles as well. Kinda like the Fall of Reach. If made into a movie, Fall of Reach and The Flood (maybe even First Strike) could be rolled into one if the not so important parts were cut.

I say screw all the star crap. It should definetly be computer animated. It would be hard to get all the stuff from the game and books to look real with real actors. And plus, you don't have to worry about the actors looking or sounding like the actual characters from the game.

CG-animated all the way! That way Bungie can direct it themselves and it wouldn't stand out much, in terms of style and feel, from the games.

None of 'em. And I don't see why they would show his face. If it's just voice needed for the part, then you go with the same guy that is the voice of the man in the game.

I'm not a big fan of seeing big time actors in these kinds of films. Just think about Passion of the Christ in which every character is played by some famous actor.. The movie would be a joke.

the passion of christ was a joke as it is

I say don't make a Halo movie because it would fail at the box office like Chronicales of Riddick is going to and as Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy did. As well as Resident Evil. Leave it as a game.
