Halo: The Movie

Posted by Velvet Nightmare

This just in: Halo The Movie just went into production. All that I know is that the movie has been in production for a couple months, and will encompass the first and second Halo games. Two unconfirmed lead characters are:

Samuel L Jackson as Captain Johnson
Ed Harris as Captain Keyes

I'll keep you posted as new info comes in.

And this just made the series a 100x more crappy.

I thought Halo was based on Starship Troopers or something.

Anyway, this doesn't come as a surprise. Something this popular has to reel in some serious cash, even if the movie is crappy, they'll get a hell of a lot of audience.

I'm far from enthusiastic about this, but I'd like to see the part of Master Chief acted out entirely by CG animation.

I just want to see how everything looks!

We all know what happens, how it happens, and how it will end... I'm sure that even the Halo fans won't waste their time.

Hollwood reall does hate gamers...

I'll see it regardless. But I do hope that it will be good.

Don't count on it. It's a video game movie, so it's most likely not gonna be good.

Most video game movies weren't actually all that bad, with the exception of a few. (House of the Dead was horrible, as was the live-action Mario Bros.) Resident Evil was good.

Most were. That Final Fantasy Spirits Within movie was garbage!

Ah this will probaly suck. With lame special effects and lame looking armor. I may be wrong though.

I would much rather see a GTA: San Andreas movie. Kinda like "Boyz N the Hood." But of course with CJ, Ryder, Smoke, Big Smoke, and crew.

RE was pretty good. I'm hoping that RE3 will be ok.

Halo deserves this inevitable Hollywood bomb, but Halo certainly doesn't deserve Samuel L. Jackson.

Velvet Nightmare, may I ask where you got this information from? Is it even reliable? Many times material like this gets bought from certain companies or people, like John Woo buying the rights to Metroid, but we never see the film and probably never will. This has happened numerous times in the past. If this Halo film was in production for a couple months already like you mentioned, we would usually see official word about it in places like IMBD.

I just found this:

Ridley Scott, hardly.

I dont know about this, But it suprised be that they were able to create a Halo movie...Like whats the story gonna be about? Probably the same as the game! Then mind as well play the game and you have fun watching the movie!!! Even Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo dont have a movie. I think this will be crappy.

I haven't looked at the URL yet, so I don't know what it encompasses, but I can tell you where I found my information, which was in Electronic Gaming Monthly, April 2005 edition, I believe. It was in the crawl in the "Press Start" section, as I recall. If you would like it exact, I can go get the issue.

I dont find video game movies that great. The only good movie that was based on a game was Resident evil 1 and 2. All the rest of the Video Game movies suck in my opinion. So I wont even bother seing Halo because I believe it will suck anyways.

Posted by Bebop

I can imagine the retards queing up for this and still thinking the games are good.

Posted by Velvet Nightmare

Quoting Bebop: ..queing up


English. Yipee.

And Crazy K, Biohazard wasn't that great.

Dude, April 2005. That's the April fools edition. I doubt Samuel L. Jackson would do Halo, it's so farfetched.

Plus, all game movie sucks, especially Resident Evil and Apocalypse.

If you read the above article, you can see that the script is already done, which was striking, and that it's already being looked at by different people. This is amazing news, considering very little information was even revealed before this. Usually, movies are revealed a bit before the script is even started, let alone completed, espescially when the movie is about something this popular.
