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?

“Facebook accounts will be abandoned in their millions, just like what is happening with MySpace,” it says. “You might as well just blend the two sites together and call it MybookSpaceFace.”
