According to a swedish newspaper Microsoft are thinking about making a movie of Halo 2. They have allready hired Alex garland the man behind the movies the beach and  28 days later, to write a manuscript.

What do you think about the whole idea?

You want a good movie, go read the HLP rewrite

[Scuddie]

If it were a live action Red Vs Blue, I'd say yay.  Otherwise, I want them all dead.

[Jetmech Jr.]

I heard they'd approached Ridley Scott to direct...

A video game movie isn't a video game movie until Uwe Boll gets his hands on it.  I can see it now.

[Jetmech Jr.]

ROFL

[Gloriano]

What do you think about the whole idea?

Well Bungie still wants Ridley Scott or James Cameron as director,
and it won't be Halo2 movie at all (i think) but something else there is 600 years writed for Halo universe by bungie


Well i trully hope that it's good movie because Halo is really big name

[Taristin]

All I can say is:


Please. No. Don't.

So funny!

As for a Halo 2 movie, I hope it won't happen. Its just a way of Microsoft getting more money and will most likely be crap.

[Dark_4ce]

Good one Japong!

And yeah, would be funny that they'd make the sequal before the first one was ever made. :doh:

[aldo_14]

I think the bungie contract actually states they have to have Ridley Scott as director or something to guarentee a go-ahead, doesn't it?

[Deepblue]

Yes, Bungie won't allow a movie to be created without Ridley Scott directing.

[Knight Templar]

Christ I hope not.

They'd have to start with Halo 1 if they wanted to make a lick of since too.

[Ransom]

If it was done right, the Halo universe has plenty of material for a decent movie. Most other game to movie conversions have been of crap games anyway.

[Deepblue]

They should start with Covenant contact and Reach if they were to make a movie.

[Unknown Target]

Actually, that's basically all explosions, so they might do something like that.

[WMCoolmon]

Even though I'd love to see a Halo movie, I still thought Japong's trailer was hilarious.

Having watched the Halo 2 cutscenes, I think Halo as a movie could work. The cutscenes end up adding up to about an hour, anyways, the only thing that's missing is the fighting.

Hell, if they were up for it, I'd say to let the Bungie guys make it. The cutscenes for Halo 2 were better than some movies I've seen.

[Setekh]

I agree, Coolmon, Halo 2's already quite cinematic - but I don't know. If Bungie's behind it, it'll come good.

[Jetmech Jr.]

Yes, and it should be all CG
