Microsoft's Halo to Become Movie
QUOTE It's been a successful video game, and thanks to two deals signed Wednesday it could become a successful motion picture. A spokesman for Universal Pictures said that its studio, along with Twentieth Century Fox, had struck a deal with Microsoft to produce a movie based on the "Halo" and "Halo 2" video games. The studios will pay Microsoft $5 million plus 10 percent of domestic ticket sales. According to reports, this number is lower than Microsoft wanted - the company had initially asked for $15 million and 15 percent of ticket sales. The studios hope to have the film released in the summer of 2007. This post has been edited by cmatcmextra: Sep 1 2005, 12:19 PM |

So, I wonder if it is going to redo all the scenes from the games. Or a totally different story. Personally I hope they re-enact the games.
I just hope this won't be a bust and become like a joke or something...

Sounds really interesting. I would like myself to see that movie, and hopefully they going to do some good job on it. The game became the bestseller and gained milliions of fans all over the world, so I guess they can't fail with the movie and spoil the reputation of HALO.

o god, all I can see this becoming is a version of Harry Potter for an Older audience, except for the differences that this one started on a game instead of a book(Halo has been printed already)
The games werent that great, want to see something better, go get a copy of Half-Life 2. Maybe i'm just picky or maybe it's just the unessicary talk about it at school about it that annoys me so much. Anyways, the movie might be good, so I'll probably check it out. |

well since im a bgi movie buff i have to let you all no a little history about vdieo game movies they have been bombni since super mario came out back in the 90's, video games movies have a hard time making any money due to the fact, that directors barely stay with their ruoots in the game, so who knows halo could become a western with cowboyus and and indians (thats an example.)

thaty would proboly make a good movie
The games sold out when they came out. The games were amazing. I could see this being a movie. The only difference is that in the move the main charector wont die like he would in the game |
