Joseph Staten has said before that what would have been the "final" script for the film, would have had the Master Chief as a secondary character, taking a back seat to others for story telling purposes.<ref>[http://www.blog.newsweek.com/blogs/levelup/archive/2008/01/15/exclusive-bungie-gives-level-up-insight-into-the-stalled-halo-movie.aspx Staten interview.]</ref> | Joseph Staten has said before that what would have been the "final" script for the film, would have had the Master Chief as a secondary character, taking a back seat to others for story telling purposes.<ref>[http://www.blog.newsweek.com/blogs/levelup/archive/2008/01/15/exclusive-bungie-gives-level-up-insight-into-the-stalled-halo-movie.aspx Staten interview.]</ref> | ||
In this version of the script, Captain Keyes is mentioned. This is probably Jacob Keyes and not his daughter, Miranda Keyes. Cortana hints him as Sir, not Ma'am. Further evidence of this is in the fact that these lines share a striking resemblance to the opening cinematic of the first game. Seeing as Jacob Keyes dies late in the first game, if this indeed is a script for the movie, it will be centered around the events of the first Halo, while multiple Halo live action short films have featured Brutes, Brute weaponry and the Master Chief jumping from the Dreadnought. | |||
