OK, I searched and everything but didn't find any similar thread.
Anyway, rumor has it that the Halo movie is FINALLY in production, being FULLY funded by none other than Bill Gates himself. Anyway I have also heard that there is already a trailer for it, and it covers the ENTIRE halo series (Starting from 3 days before the fall of reach all the way to the end of Halo 3).
Now any of you who still thinks tis is going to be a normal length movie... well you are sadly mistaken. It's going to be 5 hours long! Obviousally there will be an intermission added.

It'll be cool.

I highly doubt it'll be 5 hours long.
And is PJ bstill directing it, or did he lose the rights?

Peter Jackson better damn well be still holding the rights to make that damned movie. He is just too damned good at making adaptations. And I seriously doubt it will be a single 5 hour sitting. But before I further write on i would rather wish to see the link of the article which actually says these things.

Not sure how this movie is going to be like.In the past movies base on video games get bomb pretty bad.I gues we wil have to wait and see!jm
Burnt Pancakes
Yeah, the appearence of MC can also really make or brake this movie. ALso, they could add a "gasp" love intrest!
Oh yeah... Cortana and MC.. steamy mental butsekz...
ADarksideJedi

hmm...
5 hours - doubt it
pj director - hope so

I thought Jackson and his wife were only producers?
Anyway, I really do not see the fascination with this Halo business, enjoyable game with a few mates and some alchohol, but really, it'll be is an updated Starship Troopers at best.

It is going to bomb I could feel it!Thanks for the link!jm

Im sorry, but if you can't fit a single story into a 2 or 3 hour film you dont deserve to be a screenwriter.
Burnt Pancakes
If they did that it would suck HORRIBLY. They would have to cut nearly half the crap that goes on.
The only way they could pull off a good 3 hour movie is if they made a trilogy or something.
Supreme being
It would be much better if they didn't go the route of the games but created a whole new story perhaps a prequel like the novels.

I think halo is an ok game but jesus christ. what the hell is so unique or original about it. its got nothing special and the storyline isn't bad but it isn't as phenominal as fable. all it is is shoot the bad guys, wait a few minutes, shoot the bad guys etc. This movie better kick ass or else halo is foever given up. the only cahnce they have is to put a cover system in 3 and make the miracle of halo becoming its own unique game...
ADarksideJedi
It is like you said interesting.But alot of video games does the same thing you kill things or the person you are againist and alliens.So it is not like it had not been done.jm

Fable's story phenomenal? What are you smoking?

We shall see!jm

I worry about this movie sucking but with Peter Jackson involved we have a chance of a great movie as long as MC dose not remove his helmet like Judge Dred in that movie.
Jason_Krueger
well according to imdb.com some no-name dude is gonna be director, Neill Blomkamp, and Peter Jackson is only the executive producer.... http://halomovie.trivialbeing.net/
also there are rumors that Denzel Washington is in mind for the role of Master Chief.....I dunno about that one..... http://www.halothemovie.org/
BlaxicanHydra
Denzel Washington?
That's just plain retarded..
DARKLORDCAEDUS
Denzel, huh. He is a good actor, but I don't think he would ever act in a video game to film movie.
dadudemon
The obvious choice for master chief is Estelle Getty...what are guys thinking?
Are you guys sure that this movie is going to be made? I thought it was scrapped.
I really hope they do make this a movie, though.
BlaxicanHydra
HALO movie screenplay
ragesRemorse
im thinking matt damon, ben affleck,or jason statham. If they dont work out...jackie chan
BlaxicanHydra
I'm thinking... put any tall guy in the suit and simply use the voice of the guy who played the Chief in the game. The plot only details what happened in the first game, and in neither the first game or any part of the books that cover the first game does John take off his helmet, so the actor doesn't need to be anyone in particular, just tall. John Cena ftw

exanda kane
Just make it a cartoon.
BlaxicanHydra
That'd be funny if they did.

Dark Sarcasm because of the clone wars series being CG and not live action?

Halo is very unique. The enemies arent the average drooling alien bastards. They have excellent backstories and an interesting galactic history. Its not a shoot em up. If u r playing heroic or legendary most of the time u have to use some strategy, the game also has an excellent vehicle factor. The warthog is the most fun thing to drive i have ever used in a game. The weapons are awesome, the online play is action packed and easy to use, u can jump right in to a game and even make your own team very easily. Not many games have user-friendly online play. *cough* chromehounds

Cena's not that tall. Great Khali ftw!!! haermm

It will get made but god knows when, they should definatley do the vader trick and have some tall guy in the suit and the games voice, it would be almost criminal not to i think it should be done in a very dark "batman begins" sort of way showing his kidnapping as a child and almost torture training through flashbacks. it would be dissapointing to see such a wonderful story ruined through a quick money spinning film.
but as with many VG to film films i think we'll see another great story line ripped to pieces by Holly wood and replaced with lots of action.
eg. Doom, Hitman
D-Wag

How bout Yao Ming

faithxp
this could be the most awaited movie for those who were halo gamers.,
steverules
I say they should get Michael Caine to play Master Cheif
