How can you prove something objective?

And there already was a Doom 3 movie. It's called ghosts of mars.

Anyways, I also heard that they have thought about casting Ed Harris as Captain Keyes (i think ol' harrison ford could do better in this part), Samuel Jackson as that Sgt. guy (forget his name).

meh, Ghosts of mars was horribly executed. It could have been so much better, the fact that the settlers turned into these things that turned them into tribal crazys... was not so scary. What would be scary though is a dank dark creepy compound with zombies & hell spawns etc. Or a scene in hell with all the screaming and baby's crying.

Rumor Control:

[url:9dd35]http://www.gamespot.com//xbox/action/halo2/news_6113693.html[/url:9dd35]

[quote:9dd35]Rumor #5: Ridley Scott will direct the film version of Halo, with Ed Harris and Samuel L. Jackson in the starring roles.

Source: German site Sci-Fi News and Ain't It Cool News, the most loathed and loved movie-info site on the Web.

The official story: "Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation." --Microsoft spokesperson. "No comment." --Warner Bros. representative.

What we heard: In a bit of a coup, Sci-Fi News scored the first pictures of the storyboards for the Halo movie, of which there are several on the site. It also claimed that the same source said that the project will be announced shortly in Variety, with full cast and crew details. According to the site, Ed Harris will play Captain Keyes, the Pillar of Autumn's doomed captain, and Samuel L. Jackson will play Sergeant Johnson, the hard-boiled UNSC space marine who assisted the Master Chief's Covenant-killing crusade. Sitting in the director's chair will be none other than Ridley Scott, director of sci-fi classics Alien and Blade Runner and arguably the most intense war film ever made, Black Hawk Down.


The mere thought of such talent bringing Halo to the screen is enough to give any geek heart palpitations. However, on the other side of the planet, Ain't It Cool News was telling a much different tale. AICN received a tip from an informant claiming to work at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. According to said informant, two designers from WBIE-owned Monolith were in a meeting with Warner Bros. executives about the game adaptation of the 2006 sci-fi movie 2176, about "a futuristic retelling of the Revolutionary War." During the discussion, the subject of the Halo movie came up. According to the "WB informant," Warner Bros. approached Bungie at this year's E3 about acquiring the Halo film rights. Their response? "Unless you got the writer and director of the original Alien, everyone can go fish." And, according to AICN, Scott had already passed on the project, based on the script. However, since Halo 2 sold 2.5 million copies the first day, Warner Bros. has asked Scott to reconsider--and AICN says there's been no answer yet.

Although the quality of its writing has lowered the bar for online film journalism to ant-height levels, AICN has been a steady source of Hollywood rumors for nearly a decade. Many are false. But many are spot-on, and the one posted today rings truer than its German counterpart.

Bogus or not bogus?: Bogus, although we'd love to be wrong on this one.[/quote:9dd35]

A movie based on the halo storie(i.e. the books) could be leetly awesome. If it were based on the game's story, or just about any other FPS to date........................................

The game's story wasn't so bad, just needs some more depth to make it a good screenplay for a movie
