Halo movie indefinitely postponed

lol. very old news indeed. i think that microsoft made a good choice with having peter jackson help make the movie. peter jackson did an unbelievable job with the lord of the rings series and king kong and i think that he will do a good job with halo too.

i love history of violence, the action was really cool....but i don't think that josh olson is right for the job....

No I hasnt smeghead83

smeghead83 its old news because it says its from october 31st of 2006. this is 2007............

lol OLD NEWS, Fox are now funding the movie and its been green lighted

THANK GOD! Just don't do the movie, please! Don't ruin it, stick with making Halo games instead. And NO to MGS movie too, please please Hollywood enuff blasphemy.

they keep making movies out of games lets hope its not as bad as the games made from movies HEY i heard they're making rayman raving rabbids a movie

this movie is gonna get murder by the metal gear movie.

where did you hear about filming gamerboy27?

I really really liked the Halo trailer that was in full CGI .... the one in which the Chief used the bubble shield for the first time .. it had fantastic quality & direction ... i wish they make the whole movie with CGI of this quality .. just wonder how much it will cost !!!!!?

they r filming in new zealand

Will be the best movie ever created on the face of mankind!!!!

HALO IS THE BEST

Why make a movie?

if the movie does come out, i hope it is an epic and not just a senseless, gore filled action movie. Don't get me wrong, the gore in the game was great, but it was the story that really kept me going. And plus gore-y movies usually get forgotten overtime. But i want this movie to stay in the hearts of hardcore fans and movie goers.

i agree with MoDollars. it's kind of odd that they would allow an inexperienced director to direct a movie adaptation of Halo merit. The video game world needs a solid movie adaptation! Not that it really matters right now, though, b/c Halo: The Movie has been put off, but hopefully it won't become the Duke Nukem Forever of tinseltown.

it would be awesome to see a movie would be weird though if john is tom cruise lol

i hope steven speilberg can direct the movie, he's a excellent choice.

I'm ready for the movie!

they better make a halo movie...it would be about 2 times better than the game (as long as it is a long movie ^^) i hope they continue making it !!!

this movie better come out....if it does it better be awesome as the game is! hope it dosent let me down.

what is uwe boll

Meh, I don't even care. We've already got enough futuristic movies about alien invasions and whatnot. The MGS movie will bring something new and fresh - a mercenary out on his own in the forests of Russia, not some armor-clad warrior gunning down hordes of aliens. LAME. Not to say I don't like the Halo games. They rock. But I'd rather see MGS on the big screen right now.

as long as its not uwe boll

They can take as long as they want for all I care... so long as they don't making another terrible video game movie...

that stinks, wasnt really hyped for it anyway

grrr gow better not make it to the big screen first!

You misunderstand ChiefHunter1, they will still make the film but it is POSTPONED. It think it'll be worth the wait.

I wish they had made the Halo movie. It would have easily made $50 million off of Halo gamers not to mention otherss who would also go along.

Burn

i'm confident peter jackson will do a good job...and the movie will deffinitely be worth the wait. p.s. I love reading hillbilly-ish replies like the one from lightbarier.

Im glad alex garland is the writer he made 28 days later which was a really good movie.

It cool we have to remember that there are alot of people out there that hate video games and wouldn't mind making a bad cheap movie with the title just to get people to come in and watch and come back unsatified whyle the makers roll around in money whyle we feel betrayed. Not to mention all the bad movies that have come from video games yet stunk in other people opinon such as tomb rader it better just to wait then to come out with a bad movie. We need to show to people that the games that we play are good strong with great story lines.

what are guys up to?ya keep us hangin' by a bare thread hopin' to see the mjonir armour in action and then tell us that a good movie got shelved cause they couldn't come up with a way ter split the dough!

i respect the fact that they tried and i respect the fact that they are waiting to so they can make it the greatest movie ever. plus, this way more youth can play and get to know the master chief. and when it comes out they are going to make a lot of money.

haloguy888, at least the metal gear solid movie isnt indefinately postponed. and even if they were both released at the same time, i bet mgs would be a lot better, because it has more room to manuver story-wise. halo has one of the worst stories ever. period.

When this movie is created, it would be way better than the Meta Gear Solid movie. XD

who is, or what is Uwe Boll?

Uwe Boll...please don't say that... Besides, in all honesty, Uwe Boll will probably never be given a video game to adapt to the movies. Ever....unless it's something as ridiculous as Postal 2 or Fuzion Frenzy. Even better, imagine something like a Barbie game-to-movie done by him... Cringe-inducing ain't it? :) As for this...well A History of Violence was okay in terms of the story. So if the script if being rewritten by its writer, then I'll take that as an okay. And the fact that Jackson is still sticking with this is a good sign as well. Personally, I'd like to see greater input from the people who penned Halo's story in the games (and even the novels). $20 says that the delay is being caused by some crazy "financial-legalese," where all the various copyrights need to accounted for and basically who gets what for money. And until that's sorted out, work on this will essentially not happen except for minor hirings and such. In relation to the MGS movie and with Kojima on possibly board as that movie's executive producer, Bungie and Microsoft should SERIOUSLY think about doing the something similar. All in all, the financial and legal issues will work themselves out. As for the script and such, more people from Bungie should be involved. Then again, who knows, Bungie may get more involved after Halo 3 is released...

if they keep delaying it peter jackson is gonna leave and uwe boll will take over, which literally means that the halo name will be ruined forever

i want a vid

No different from any other delay any other Halo has suffered, is going to suffer, will suffer.

Hopefully a million Halo kids will now commit suicide

Whats the point of these vidoegame movies? Games are games. Movies are movies.

Scripts always go through a couple treatments and rewrites to fix complications. The problem with games-made movies is that they're not taken seriously and usually someone drops the ball.

ms...greedy bastards...mgs will kick ass

Script re-written a third time because the story is worthless garbage.

hahahaha pwnt! MGS movie on the way and it will kick Halo's butt.

I POOP MY PANTS!!! Man that suckss! ERRR! I want a CGI Halo movie , like the TV spot commercial. That would be a 100% box office hit.

dang...but if we have to wait for a really good movie... I guess we wait.
