New Characters
I mean thats what the producers of the Resident Evil movies did. They ruined the story of RE 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)
 * Does anyone know, or think that there will be new characters that do not exist in the game or books?

i hope not RimFire ps what does typing  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.

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)

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. Radzon 17:00, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

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. -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 19:15, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

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  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...-- 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. Kora ‘Morhekee The Battle-Net My Conquests. 04:17, 13 June 2007 (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.

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. User:TheNewbHunter/TheNewbHunter 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.  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.  Kora ‘Morhekee   The Battle-Net  My Conquests.  04:05, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Rumour...
This rumour was removed from the article because it did not have any concrete evidence. However, I decided to save it and put it here in case it later turns out to be true. (it was Coproal John who originally contributed this, so thanks)

A Halo TV show is currently being discussed with Bungie and Microsoft, it is either to animated or possible live action short series to fill in the events that happen before the Halo Movie. Which might take place during the events of Halo 1 to 3. So they might show the training of the Spartans. Master Chief in the show would have a joke where his face is always covered by someone taller or is hidden by the shadows. It may show their first mission and when they got their battle armor, and when they first met the Covenant. The show is to be like the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV show. If so Gennedy Tartakovsky might be hired to draw and direct the show.
