If done right a halo movie could be pretty good, theres books and all that kind of stuff on halo so it has more of a story to it than just two games. Though knowing hollywood and their way of gayifying things masterchief woud probably fall in love with a female cyborg. oOo:

I also think that whoever played masterchief would be upstaged if Ed Harris and Samual L Jackson did have roles in the movie. Hes the focal point in the games but movies usually have a way of messing with this formula.

Internet petitions are about as useful as gloves for someone with no hands.

Yes, that is why I do them. It makes me feel special that I have the power to do such useless things.

Something microsoft are in dire need of biggrin:

If gates and microsoft wanted to financially back this movie it could kick all kinds of ass, its raking in the cash as a game, if done right it would do the same as a movie.

True but as somebody said, I think Cap. Keyes would be played better by Harrison Ford. Sure, Ed Harris is great but I think Ford is just perfect for the part.

...And would further promote the game.

I have no idea why they're so skeptical with making this movie...

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.[/quote:648c5]

i know. ghosts of mars was shite.

Bad idea. What video game movie has ever been any good out of the countless shite ones? Tomb Raider was the closest and even that sucked. The only reason any one even watched it was because Angelina Jolie is hot.

This is just going to blow up in everyones face. Hopefully Ridley Scott can work some magic though.

I wanna see a Half-Life movie.
