Something Strange

Isn't it kind of odd how every video game and their mother are being made into movie. While Halo has yet to even get a script to be written. The story is so perfect that an idiot would not want to make it into a movie. I think that that the production of the Halo movie has already started and Bungie is keeping it a complete secret. Have you guys noticed that when they do make a announcement that it is on a day where we can believe it or not. I think that the movie is being kept a secret just like other movies like how Cloverfield was kept secret. I may be wrong I just think that all of this is very strange. -Corporal John

I definitely agree with Corporal John. It is odd that all the other video games are made into movies and yet Halo isn't. Why is that? Is it because the special effects fee is going to cost a lot? Or is the movie makers not bright enough to see that Halo can be made into a movie? Halo has the best story line that I could ever find in a game, sure I would like them to show John's face once in awhile or show the other Spartans at least. All I want is for the movie producers to do is to make Halo into the most awesome movie ever. And i probably just soundly really stupid. Verilian 'a 20:19, 19 January 2009 (UTC)Verilian 'a Cendumee

Halo does not have the best storyline in gaming, but it is a good one. Personally, I hope they add something in that the fans are not expecting... *cough*MasterChief*cough*infected*cough* Halo's awesome but the idea came in like 2002 or 2001 and there has been 3 more Halo games and 3 being planned and then there are like 4 more books than there were then and a trilogy being written and then there's 4 more comics released and 2 more being planned so I guess they don't want to spoil a few things before you play the games and read the books

I think they are just trying to divert attention away since there has been little activity about the movie, with Halo:Reach already occupying most of the fans' minds, they may do arrangements for the movie in private. They may have already started the storyboards. To Verilian 'a, No, even CGI won't cost too much labour. However, the Halo universe has a large storyline, ranging from the assault of Harvest to the Destruction of the Ark, so you have a serious number of Master Chief stories to 'moviefy'. I find Century Fox and the other sponsor to be very retarded. They claim that the earnings that they accumulate will be decreased. However, to the generally positive audience reaction to the Halo universe. There would be such a great response that the difference would be negligible (provided the movie has a good reception in the overall public.) Yes, we all want to see the great Spartan's face. To the comment above, Infected? Nah,Master Chief's too lucky to do that. And the public would rate the movie down should it happen. Let's give Bungie time finish Reach and wait a bit more. We are playing a waiting game with Bungie. And Bungie is winning.--BlackSuitHalo 14:39, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

New Characters

• Does anyone know, or think that there will be new characters that do not exist in the game or books?

I mean thats what the producers of the Resident Evil movies did. They ruined the story of Resident Evil just at the moment the added that so called Alice. I don't want that happend to the Halo Movie.
--Radzon 04:10, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

i hope not RimFire ps what does typing <br /> do

People also ruined Doom, Hopefully The Halo Movie won't be that bad.--prophit of war 18:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

You can't blame them. Making a video game into a movie is hard. It's even HARDER when it's a sci-fi video game. -Blemo

Let's face it, video games and movies are hardly a match made in heaven. Let's face it, history is against such a thing;

-Super Mario Bros: Ugh, I'm not even a fan of Mario and I was struck by just how crappy it was. Poor plot, wacky design...

-Street Fighter: Meh. I understand that it pissed off a lot of fans though.

-Mortal Kombat: All things considered, those movies were actually good. A rarity, as it is.

-Sonic the Hedgehog: It's ironic that one of the few good movies based on games is not really a movie at all given how it's two anime episodes pressed into one. An actual movie seems next to impossible, given all the copyright issues.

-Dead or Alive: Shoot me. Please.

-Resident Evil: The first was ok in that it captured the survival-horror aspect well and could actually fit in with the canon universe. After that...ugh.

-Metal Gear: That they've rejected David Hayter's script, who worked on the script of the games, hardly fills me with confidence.

-Warcraft: Based on Blizzard's reports, they seem to be straying from the actual storyline with all-new characters. Um, yay?

-Metroid: Development hell, probably cancelled.

-Diablo: Probably cancelled.

-House of the Dead: It was directed by Uwe Bowl. 'Nuff said.

-Soul Calibur: Yet another movie which differs from the actual storyline with new characters.

-Doom: was not a good game/movie transition.

Even with Bungie's adherance to continuity, I somehow doubt that a Halo movie will break the general trend. Anyway, that's just me. --Hawki 01:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Let's not forget Final Fantasy Advent Children & Tomb Raider! -Flood Hunter Red XIIIs voice at the end of Advent Children sounded bad as, It ruined the movie for me and my Brother, We were laughing about it for days. "Some still have the Stigma!" JimMy pAz Br07 05:46, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

-RadicalEdward2: I wonder if the warthog is a EV model AKA electric car. Btw car companies should advertise the movie by selling warthogs without guns.

I'd like Halo film to be as good as Star Wars.-- Joshua 029 22:10, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I sure hope it isn't rated "R". I wouldn't be able to see it in a loooong time if it is. But I'm still lookin' forward to it. VimesV 02:09, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

ukilledurcatabc123- i agree with u, except i think my parents would let me watch it because they know i like halo alot! :?/ - 16:43, 21 June 2008

Halo will not fail as a film because it has an expanding universe, much like Star Wars. So this eases the game/film transition, it's becoming bigger and bigger hopefully is as god as Star Wars.-- Joshua 029 20:49, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

I hate corporate executives

Typical, production on what is looking like a very promising movie, (Peter Jackson is producing it) is halted due to corporate greed. :Slama423 22:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I've heard that the movie was posposed because of fund problems, but when is it goin to be continued?Radzon 22:58, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't be so excited. The movie will likely just be a live action version of Halo 1, and you know they'll take a proverbial dumb all over the developed storyline to make it sell better, and we'll have a boat load of conflicting info to put onto Halopedia. -ED 02:56, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Yep thats exactly what they did with the Resident evil series and other things.

Warthog Info

The wikipedia version of the page says WETA built a working Warthog. is it true? if it is, should it be added to the article? and if it isnt, should someone go and delete it? -- SpecOps306 03:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Is it cited? If not, I would regard it as rumor. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 19:15, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah its definatly true, i heard about it all over the place-----Spartan S17 12:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree, cause i saw the video on www.halothemovie.com

When is it happening??

Where will the story take place? Will it be a remake of one of the games? My best bet is it will. It would be odd for it to be like halo 4. Or maybe a book remake like the destruction of reach in Halo: the Fall Of Reach!The Se7ens Haunt Me

No info has been officially released about the storyline, but they are hinting it may just be a movie version of Halo 1. -ED 20:02, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

HMM... Yeah well I guess. I just hope it comes out sweet and STICKS To the regular plot. It would cause confusion for new players to watch the movie and see MC shooting a battle rifle and when they play the game. Theres no such thing.The Se7ens Haunt Me

My guess is it will atleast have most parts of halo 1 because if you look at the script on the main page of this article, it has captin Keyes, Peace.--The Chazz025 and Clan 21:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I doubt it will stick to the regular plot. Halo 1 was all running and shooting, not the good elements of a movie. They will likely altar it in a way NOT described in Halo: The Flood. Result: a movie that has nothing to do with the game, as I fear above. -ED 21:14, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it'll be like a sereis of unfortunant event and will do Halo, Halo 2 and maybe Halo 3.The Se7ens Haunt Me

We won't know if it never gets started again...--ED_(talk)^(shockfront) 19:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

IMDB says it will probley start at the level "Halo" from Halo:CE but mabey FOR or FS. It sounds like the best choices. We will probley get to see John without his helment in two of the possibltes.The Consumed ,The Dead ,and Living File:ESE.JPG|20px]] 21:35, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

The Actors/Actresses

Who is playing who? I heard that Samuel Jackson will be playing the MC! He'd make a good Sgt. Johnson no? This is just what I heard.

Twilightstorm 14:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

The should get Bill Cosby for Johnson...--File:GRAW.png|25px]]MCPO Spartan 1138 15:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

No! Samuel Jackson would make a perfect Johnson, he played mace windu perfect and her was that guy in both XXX's! They better not make Keanu Reaves play the MC...

Twilightstorm 15:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

He would make a good Johnson. But people were saying he'd play the Chief a while back, and that would just be a travesty. Not because of the actor, but because it wouldnt be Steve Downes, who practically is the Chief in some peoples eyes. File:HalfJaw03.jpg|30px]] Kora ‘Morhekee ^{The Battle-Net} _{My Conquests.} 04:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Nah g, Get "Mr.T" do do johnson! and Tom Cruise is way too short to be MC.JimMy pAz Br07 05:46, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

If they ever do manage to make the movie, the person playing the MC would probably be dubbed over with Steve Downes' voice for continuity. ElFroCampeador 02:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I dont think it will be a problem to get someone for the role of the MC becuase i mean they could do what George Lucas did with Darth Vader in the Star Wars series, they could get someone to make the movements and another person to make the voice like in many other movies, i say that because the MC's face is not supposed to showed at any time you only see him inside his armor, that way they could use the guy who makes the MC's voice in the game for the movie.
Radzon 17:10, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I heard Christian Bale would be Master Chief, James Earl Jones the Arbiter, and Denzel Washington as Sergeant Johnson? Is any of that true? Mr.X 04:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

No. The closest thing is that Denzel had lunch with the director at some point, and people were speculating. No one has been cast yet. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 09:45, 26 January 2008

I think that some 7 foot tall guy should play Master Chief, but Steve Downes, the guy that did the voice for Master Chief in the games, should do the voice for him. Samuale L. Jackson or Morgan Freeman should be Johnson. (UTC)

Keyes should be played by Colin Ferguson....I like Colin. Morgan Freeman should be Johnson. That would be epic.Marcus Lehto as Sgt. Stacker and Megan Fox as Cortana......--[Bobzombie] Gafflwn Dihenydd, o'r fuddugoliaeth wiriol sydd.

JK about Megan Fox. Hmmm....Who should play Cortana? I think that Jen Taylor should play Halsey/Cortana. Will Smith (because he respects the military, nad has that kind of humor Johnson has) should play Johnson. Joseph Staten should play Jenkins. Mainly as a cameo. I want Adam Baldwin to do something. Like Mendoza if they do Halo CE or Fred in Fall of Reach. He does a good military man. Nathan Fillion as Antonio Silva if it's Halo CE. Tricia Helfer as McKay, once again if it is Halo CE. Tom Hanks as Keyes. Jesse Gordon Spencer as Chips Dubbo. Hugh Laurie as Hood. Any other suggestions?--[Bobzombie] Gafflwn Dihenydd, o'r fuddugoliaeth wiriol sydd.

And Carlos Ferro as Cpl. Perez, if doing a movie based on all three games. Samuel Jackson as Sgt. Banks. Or Nathan Fillion and the rest of the ODST cast reprise their roles in the movie (with the exception of Romeo considering he is black his voice acter is white). They could be in the third act during Halo 3. BTW this is if they make a series about the three games. Or if they make a series out of Contact Harvest and all the other games and books. Željko Ivanek as Nolan Byrne.--[Bobzombie] Gafflwn Dihenydd, o'r fuddugoliaeth wiriol sydd.

• What about it? Its just a load of Halo trailers put together. FishType1 21:54, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I need evidience

I really don't know who to believe. I mean, i'd love to see a Halo movie, and there's a whole bunch of stuff on the internet about new trailers and stuff, but there has never really been any actual proof or anything and I've heard several rumors it's been scrapped. Any new info. will be thankfully accepted. -- 11:59, 9 june 2007

There was going to be one. Then the studios were jerks. Now there isnt, until they stop being jerks. The front page says FOX decided to go ahead on June 5, but i havent heard of that. File:HalfJaw03.jpg|20px]] Kora ‘Morhekee The Battle-Net My Conquests. 21:38, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Go-Ahead

IMDB is the only source for that. FOX acquired merchandising rights for the franchise, but has NOT announced the movie to go ahead. I think it would be pretty big news if that had happened. File:HalfJaw03.jpg|20px]] Kora ‘Morhekee The Battle-Net My Conquests. 04:05, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
