A Halo movie would be horribly wrong
Gamers Lore have reported that a Halo movie may still be on the cards… I didn’t even realise there was one ever in discussion!
I don’t know why it didn’t cross my mind a long time ago. Maybe it did but I just blocked it out of my grey matter because I really don’t think a Halo movie would do the franchise justice. This is one of those times when I really should do a bit of digging on the subject to see what else has been said but I’ll ramble on all the same.
Halo works well as a computer / video game. The artists are shit hot and visuals in Halo 3 are stunning from the sprite models through to the epic backdrops. A Hollywood live action film would just be embarrassing, conjuring up visions of some kind of Guyver style production.
The Halo world is too big and established for a director to rework into a movie. Games into films is a stupid business.
Instead (and I want ROYALTIES from this idea) I propose a fully CGI’d Halo experience. That way the Master Chief and the Covenant can be as unreal as Bungie intended.
Now where’s my cheque Hollywood?
