i think that it could make an interesting movie, but half the fun is getting to play through the areas shown in the amazing cut-scenes. i'm just fine with amazing story in a game

If they made Halo the movie there will be no doubt that Bungie will make a FORTUNE! It will leave The Passion Of The Christ in the dust. Just think about it, the Storyline of Halo was GREAT, and Halo 2 will do 100x's better. I thought that Grand Theft Auto would make a great movie until i saw Scarface but Halo would make a great movie and if George Lucas was to make Halo The Movie it would even surpass Star Wars.


Bungie has already addressed this in a interview. They replied saying that they were offered many times to give permission to make a Halo movie. They always declined, because they dont want Halo "the movie" to turn into those other washed-up crappy video game movies.

I think it was a good choice, but still, the movie idea is intriguing, like tying all the books and game together into one movie that covers from the fall of reach to the deastruction of halo, and all the other stuff the books cover.
it would naturally have to be digitally made though, like finding nemo sort of but like a fla-billion times better

I still think it would be awesome, they wouldnt even have to make it good and they would make a fortune, everyone would see it just because its called halo, and just picture it, the cutscenes in halo were always cool, imagine one big cutscene, wow.

Good Lord... not Lucas, definitely not George Lucas. You mean some other Lucas right?

Lucas has totally screwed up Star Wars, messed it up royally turning an awesome melodramatic space opera and turned it into a sequence of children's movies. Lucas hasn't made a good film since Empire Strikes Back. Ewoks... what the heck are Ewoks? Cuddly little teddy bears that were marketing genius.

I better shut up now or I'll go on about how he's gone back on how he's gone out of his way to screw up his own setting as well...

yeah lucas sucks. He would totally screw halo. I dont know who would be a good director for it but not lucas. The movie would probably be best if it were cgi, like final fantasy.

You're all missing the point.

Live action RvB with the voice actors actually doing their parts.

Just stuff them in some Nightmare Armor and film in a box canyon.

i think though that becos bungie doesn't want halo to become a crappy movie like those other movies based on games is a poor excuse. Ok yeah it is their game but no good video game movies will ever be made if every company has this type of attitude

Come to think of it... I'm considering writing the screenplay myself...

Still, if you're looking for a good sci-fi director... let's see how Chronicles of Riddick turns out :)
