==Something Strange==
Isn't it kind of odd how every video game and their mother are being made into movie. While Halo has yet to even get a script to be written. The story is so perfect that an idiot would not want to make it into a movie. I think that that the production of the Halo movie has already started and Bungie is keeping it a complete secret. Have you guys noticed that when they do make a announcement that it is on a day where we can believe it or not. I think that the movie is being kept a secret just like other movies like how Cloverfield was kept secret. I may be wrong I just think that all of this is very strange. -[[User:Corporal John|Corporal John]]

I definitely agree with Corporal John. It is odd that all the other video games are made into movies and yet Halo isn't. Why is that? Is it because the special effects fee is going to cost a lot? Or is the movie makers not bright enough to see that Halo can be made into a movie? Halo has the best story line that I could ever find in a game, sure I would like them to show John's face once in awhile or show the other Spartans at least. All I want is for the movie producers to do is to make Halo into the most awesome movie ever. And i probably just soundly really stupid.

Halo does not have the best storyline in gaming, but it is a good one. Personally, I hope they add something in that the fans are not expecting... *cough*MasterChief*cough*infected*cough*
Halo's awesome but the idea came in like 2002 or 2001  and there has been 3 more Halo games and 3 being planned and then there are like 4 more books than there were then  and a trilogy being written and then there's 4 more comics released  and 2 more being planned so I guess they don't want to spoil a few things  before you play the games and read the books

== New Characters ==
*Does anyone know, or think that there will be new characters that do not exist in the game or books?
I mean thats what the producers of the Resident Evil movies did. They ruined the story of Resident Evil just at the moment the added that so called Alice.
I don't want that happend to the Halo Movie.

You can't blame them. Making a video game into a movie is hard. It's even HARDER when it's a sci-fi video game. -[[User:Blemo|Blemo]]

Let's face it, video games and movies are hardly a match made in heaven. Let's face it, history is against such a thing;

-Super Mario Bros: Ugh, I'm not even a fan of Mario and I was struck by just how crappy it was. Poor plot, wacky design...

-Street Fighter: Meh. I understand that it pissed off a lot of fans though.

-Mortal Kombat: All things considered, those movies were actually good. A rarity, as it is.

-Sonic the Hedgehog: It's ironic that one of the few good movies based on games is not really a movie at all given how it's two anime episodes pressed into one. An actual movie seems next to impossible, given all the copyright issues.

-Dead or Alive: Shoot me. ''Please''.

-Resident Evil: The first was ok in that it captured the survival-horror aspect well and could actually fit in with the canon universe. After that...ugh.

-Metal Gear: That they've rejected David Hayter's script, who worked on the script of the games, hardly fills me with confidence.

-Warcraft: Based on Blizzard's reports, they seem to be straying from the actual storyline with all-new characters. Um, yay?

-Metroid: Development hell, probably cancelled.

-Diablo: Probably cancelled.

-House of the Dead: It was directed by Uwe Bowl. 'Nuff said.

-Soul Calibur: Yet another movie which differs from the actual storyline with new characters.

-Doom: was not a good game/movie transition.

Even with Bungie's adherance to continuity, I somehow doubt that a Halo movie will break the general trend. Anyway, that's just me.

Halo will not fail as a film because it has an expanding universe, much like Star Wars. So this eases the game/film transition, it's becoming bigger and bigger hopefully is as god as Star Wars.-- [[User:Joshua 029|Joshua 029]] 20:49, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Where will the story take place? Will it be a remake of one of the games? My best bet is it will. It would be odd for it to be like halo 4.

Who is playing who? I heard that Samuel Jackson will be playing the MC! He'd make a good Sgt. Johnson no? This is just what I heard.

No! Samuel Jackson would make a perfect Johnson, he played mace windu perfect and her was that guy in  both XXX's! They better not make Keanu Reaves play the MC...

[[User:Twilightstorm|Twilightstorm]] 15:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

He would make a good Johnson. But people were saying he'd play the Chief a while back, and that would just be a travesty. Not because of the actor, but because it wouldnt be Steve Downes, who practically ''is'' the Chief in some peoples eyes. [[Image:HalfJaw03.jpg|30px]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=purple>Kora ‘Morhekee]]</font> <sup>[[User talk:Specops306|<font color=black>The Battle-Net</font>]]</sup> <sub>[[Special:Contributions/Specops306|<font color=purple>My Conquests.</font>]]</sub> 04:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

If they ever do manage to make the movie, the person playing the MC would probably be dubbed over with Steve Downes' voice for continuity.  [[User:ElFroCampeador|ElFroCampeador]] 02:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I dont think it will be a problem to get someone for the role of the MC becuase i mean they could do what George Lucas did with Darth Vader in the Star Wars series, they could get someone to make the movements and another person to make the voice like in many other movies, i say that because the MC's face is not supposed to showed at any time you only see him inside his armor, that way they could use the guy who makes the MC's voice in the game for the movie.<br />[[User:Radzon|Radzon]] 17:10, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I heard Christian Bale would be Master Chief, James Earl Jones the Arbiter, and Denzel Washington as Sergeant Johnson? Is any of that true?
[[User:Mr.X|Mr.X]] 04:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

:No. The closest thing is that Denzel had lunch with the director at some point, and people were speculating.

I think that some 7 foot tall guy should play Master Chief, but Steve Downes, the guy that did the voice for Master Chief in the games, should do the voice for him. Samuale L. Jackson or Morgan Freeman should be Johnson.

This rumour was removed from the article because it did not have any concrete evidence. However, I decided to save it and put it here in case it later turns out to be true. (it was [[User: Coproal John|Coproal John]] who originally contributed this, so thanks)

A Halo TV show is currently being discussed with Bungie and Microsoft, it is either to animated or possible live action short series to fill in the events that happen before the Halo Movie. Which might take place during the events of Halo 1 to 3. So they might show the training of the Spartans. Master Chief in the show would have a joke where his face is always covered by someone taller or is hidden by the shadows. It may show their first mission and when they got their battle armor, and when they first met the Covenant. The show is to be like the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV show. If so Gennedy Tartakovsky might be hired to draw and direct the show.

==Sgt.johnsons thoughts on cast==

# Vin Diesel as MC
# Samuel L. Jackson as Sgt. Johnson
# Angelina Jolie as Miranda Keyes
# ___________ As cortana
# Will Smith as unamed hunter number 3


they'd just use CGI for cortana [[User:Voy101|Voy101]]

I agree with all of them apart from the MC one. [[User talk:FishType1|FishType1]] 21:55, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I like that Vin Diesel idea for Master Chief. That would work out pretty well. But they're never gonna show his face so they could just make Master Chief full CGI (Like [[Starry Night]] but better). That chick from Eonflux could play Cortana. [[User: ImmortalJoshua|ImmortalJoshua]]

They would use the guy from transporter to be MC [[User:DisturbedScorch]]

Why have Will Smith at such a non-important spot in the cast? He could be one of the main characters because the movie isn't '''centered''' around MC. He also could be [[Marcus Banks]] or ODST, or voice an important Elite (If acting as an Elite is not possible). --[[User:SNES Lover]] 14:28, 06 June 2009

== Does Halo really need this? ==

There is a book adaption and the first Halo already had us fight through hundreds of pissed off covenant and flood and the movie would probably depict the events on the alpha halo. If the movie is pulled out of production hell i hope its not about Master chief but about a group of normal marines or another spartan but not chief, we already know whats happens with him. But if they do make it about chief they should have the guy who did his voice in the games to do it for the movie in a Darth Vader esc voice over or just make him the actor.
