A few of the thoughts from my head in no particular order

A Halo movie would be horribly wrong

November 2nd, 2007 Posted in entertainment, xbox

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?
