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.
I really dont see what story they can use to make this movie. Since halo is only MC being a cool guy and killing stuff....But i will still go see the movie...
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.)
Actually there is already a halo movie.Its done with Machenma(Proly spelled wrong) using the gaming engine to create cinamatics. Its also called Red vs. Blue My friends Wayne has it...Ill ask him where he got it. Then you guys can check it out.
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
Halo isn't that game which is illegal in some countrys :s are they going to make a movie over that game kinda strange ... because the game is already illegal why making a movie of it ... well I don't know if I could see the movie because its illegal I hope becuase i loved the game anyway thats my oppinio but i would buy it anyway hehe i just love the game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm.... I Heard Alot About This Liek A Year Ago I Thought It Was Just A Joke And I still Do Now That It's Been A Year And No Movie Has Came Out.... I also Think It Wouldn't Be Such A Great It Hit.... The Whole Point Of Games Not Just Halo Is To Play Them Nott To Watch Them... It Wouldn't seel As Well As The Game Would So I Think This Is A Dead Idea ANd Might As Well Use The Money Saved Up For The Halo Movie(s) On A New GAMING Hit.... Because In The End They Would Make More Money ANd For Places Liek That Moneys The End Of The Line. All Comes Down To Which Way You Can make More Money.
In the preview of Halo 3 wasn't one of the kids who was laying on the ground looking at the stars supposed to be MC? I'm thinking that they could build a deeper character by writing about more of his past. Knowing Hollywood, though, I'd have to go with MC just looking cool and the story sucking really bad because of shallow character depth. Oh well, I hope it will at least have cool CG.
Wasnt this supposed to come out in summer 2007? What happened? I think it would really be a great movie, I liked the storyline of halo1. It was really entertaining to play halo 1 in cooperative mode with lots of friends.
If it had a good story line i would see it. If it barely had a storyline and it was MC just being awesome i would see it. If this movie comes out i will see it.
i would love to see the halo movie when it comes or if it comes. i think it would pretty sweet seeing that they keep all the coolness from the games. i also think they should someone good to paly the role of master cheif. if not they could make the whole movie CG but i think that would kinda suck.
A friend has setup an old site for halo trial mods which are map modifications that let you have
unlimited ammo, tanks, and much more stuff he has all the info on how to make mods or download his
and use them on the multiplayer part of the trial. url is mods.hopto.org there really fun to tool
around with, you can go and download halo trial from microsoft then get the mods from mods.hopto.org

Just out of curiousity, does anyone know when Halo 3 is coming out? I've heard a lot of talk
about how it has been announced officially or something, but I guess theres be no word on when its
officially coming into stores yet. The reason I ask is because I'm thinking about the different
consoles and what games will come out on which and at what time. I like GTA, so PS3 would be a good
option for me, but Halo 3 i'm assuming will be the best game of all time /cool.gif"

Here are some hilarious prank calls I recorded about Halo 2 and put up on YouTube... PART 1

Halo 3 Wishlist
- Speak of whatever you want to have in Halo 3 (2)
in halo 3 id like to dual wield swords, rockets and shotguns. i think it should have more vehicles
than halo 2...
I must say, Halo 2 is quite fun, but it seems to get old to me quick, so I will only play every once
in a while. I've done system links and whatnot, pretty good. Here are the main things I
don't like about Halo though. Movement: Movement sux, I feel like I'm slow as heck, and
when I'm on an open battlefield with someone I feel like I'm in sneaking mode... strafing?
dodging? Rolling? There are none. Bullcrap. Playability: It gets kinda old quick for me, a little
repetative, but then again, we (me and like 7 others) play with no shields, start with ...
Oh, let’s get this straight; I'm not a huge fan of the game. I just play it for the sake, and i
like busting crimes. I saw a poster in the game saying True Crimes: Streets of LA 'The
Movie' fall 2007 in True Crimes New York To find that poster, load or start a game (True Crime
NY City, so this should be in the main office. Go out of the building using the main door, not the
elevator. Go out, and walk right few blocks now you would be in the main area of Wall Street. Look
around HIGH; you should see a poster saying That TRUE CRIM STREETS OF LA, THE MOVIE IS ...
Hey folks, anyone intrested in the Microsoft's Flight Simulator ? Just wanted to start a new
topic and i hope to get much "feedback". For more information watch for : Official Microsoft Site
for Flight Simulator X Best regards Patric...
i wonder what will be next for the Halo lineup, i am a big fan and play it all the time ohline so i
am just wanted to know what you guys think will come next in the story, 2.5 or 3 because before
school let out lots of us were saying they are just going to call it 3, but others were saying 2.5
because they still needed to finish off the storyline to halo 2, (you know how he says he finishing
his job at the end.) so i was just wandering what everyone else thought...
Halo 2 was the greatest (online) FPS I've played in a long time, But now I dont even bother
playing it online, why... because every one and there mom wants to cheat. /mad.gif' border='0'
style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /> Making it the worst game ever, (thanks you
cheaters!) granted you can only mod or hack levels that have been saved to your harddrive. ie:
warlock and containment, not to mention the 5 new levels Bungie just released. It’s really not fun
when people fly across the map, or shot you with one shoot with the battle rifle, because they...
for me it's hard to choose. i really don't know which one is better. The thing with Halo
is that the is a lot of action in the game and a veriety of vehicles to choose from. Unreal
Tournament has many online players on it from the first start.It also has new chracters to download
for you to plaay with. /biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'

Which game do you guys like better. Please post your opinions and why. Thank You! I like
Halo 2 because alot of people play online with it more than Counter-Strike plus there are alot more
tourneys and tournaments with the game.And people have made many sites dedicated to halo 2 and there
are tons of halo2 clans. I personally am in a halo 2 clan. Its called Xassassinz. I made there site
for them. And were hosted here a trap 17.(Of course were hosted here what do you think!!
Best freakin host ever) Im just a member not leader. Halo 2 Counter-Strike ...
My name is Lukasz I have a game called Halo 1 (PC) Its not so bad once you get used to it.
Evryone will try to kill you so its not that as easy as it seems. http://microsoft.com/halo.aspx
and tell me if i posted the correct halo url hmm. You can download a trail version there hehe XD
/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> i think Halo has 2
websites....
Well.. I like to brag about how good I am at HALO but maybe I shouldn't (since I don't know
you guys). However, I beat EVERY level on Halo in legendary. Halo 2 is different; Yes I beat it,
but on the easiest level! I don't know.. Halo 2 is just much harder than the first Halo.
Opinions?...
Wow, that is all I can say about this game. Some of the single player maps were ok, but in the long
run the game is not it's cracked up to be. The only decent part about Halo 2 is the online play.
Even then I prefer BG from Halo 1 over any map, it was a dumb thing to not bring it back. It was the
most popular map! But I dont think Halo 2 was worth my $60. The campain maps are to
repetetive and playing as an Elite sucks nuts. I would not recomend buying this game without renting
it first....
Man I can't wait... I think I'll run through it the first time on Legend mode just for the
heck of it. /biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> ...
Well, less than a month to go! I can't wait for this game to come out. I have LIVE and am a
hardcore Halo player. I play it online all the time. I was supposed to goto WCG this year, but i
couldn't get a ride:(. Oh well, Halo 2 will be there next year /smile.gif' border='0'
style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> . What do you guys think, and what are you looking
forward to about the game?...
