Talk:Halo film

Movie or Reach trailer?

I'm not actually sure it this belongs here but whatever. On the TV, I've seen a commercial for the the "Samsung" (?) cell phone with an integrated screen and blah blah blah. The commercial began with a SPARTAN in the desert with an alien aircraft attacking him. It was live action and when he got into another craft, he was wearing a MJOLNIR Mk VI suit. I don't know if its a false referance to HALO but it seems a little too high budget to be a simple phone comercial. This suggested that it was a new REACH ad, yet I haven't found anything on it here. Is this a scene from the (potentially) upcoming movie? Or is it just a phone ad that made a brief and unimportant Halo referance?--User:Werefang/sig 13:08, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

The later. Why? Firstly: MJOLNIR mark VI isn't usable in Halo: Reach. Secondly: there is no Halo Movie (check the timeline on its page).-- Forerunner 13:45, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Samuel Jackson as Johnson

As an acting student I know that somebody's personality will usually show through when acting. I can't see Jackson doing Johnson. Will Smith would be a better fit.--[Bobzombie] Gafflwn Dihenydd, o'r fuddugoliaeth wiriol sydd.

Here's an easy one. Mr. T should be Johnson. It would be perfect. If Mr. T can't then how about B.A. Baracus from the A-Team. Sergeant Johnson looks as if he would be a nice addition to the A-Team.Spartan-08686 18:46, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

Weta

Weta just released a video of some sort of stilts, which when strapped to your legs, makes you look and walk suspiciously like an elite...just wild speculation on my part, but does anybody see halo movie potential in this?

People, we should do some research.

Alot of the information on here seems really half-a$$ed, no offence, I think we need more info, like, every drop of info on this thing from across the net, including casting auditions, where to go for them, I'm sure that those working to get this thing back on would like tons of help, including many stand-ins for Marines, and probably an unrecognizeable actor as Master Chief (it is highly possible his face will be shown in the film), but yeah if anybody has any info on this that would be great, I will be researching as well. --Kluutak 09:59, 15 November 2010 (EST)

You do realise that the movie is in development hell right? That there are no casting calls, Marine stand-ins or actors for Master Chief? That what's on the page is all there is regarding the movie at all? And you were telling us to do research... - File:Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343 (Talk) 15:29, 15 November 2010 (EST)

For all intents and purposes, the movie is completely over. "Development hell" implies that the movie is still alive, but if it ever gets off the ground then it is going to be in a completely different form, with different people involved, with a different style. There are no casting calls or auditions because there is nobody working on it. Its a misconception that really irritates me, and one that seems to be actively encouraged by Microsoft. This isn't directed at you alone, Kluutak, but why is it so difficult for people to get that the things is as dead and dreaming like deep Cthulhu? Is it an unwillingness to believe, or is the article that unclear? -- Specops306 ^Autocrat ^{Qur'a 'Morhek} 16:52, 15 November 2010 (EST)

For whoever is up to the task

This article is in serious need of a cleanup. You can find the latest article on the Halo Movie and why it will remain in development hell in this article by WIRED. — subtank 14:23, 23 May 2012 (EDT)

More coverage for those still interested cleaning up this article. :) — subtank 13:33, 19 July 2012 (EDT)

Is there somewhere else that you could mention this article to get more attention? just an idea. Weeping Angel 23:30, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

Hey there, I am interested in cleaning this article up. I assume that there are quite a few problems, and I have decided to focus on the major issues I found while reading the article:

Poor language and grammar
Poor in-line citation and sources
Structure / Organization

For anyone who wants to add something important to this, let me know! I'll be glad for any advice! Mewcat97

Cleaning up.

I am currently in the process of cleaning this article; please could an admin drop by once I'm finished to verify the cleanup and remove the "Grammar" template?

Thanks.

Finished -- that might be the longest time I've ever spent editing anything (around 5 hours). Please let me know what you think, or give me any criticism. UserWiki:Monitor_Chakas|Monitor Chakas]]^{(Talk|Contribs)} 18:45, 7 July 2014 (EDT)

Thanks a lot for doing this. I am certainly no monitor, so my opinion should carry very little weight, but I think the article looks a ton better. --Weeping Angel (talk) 15:06, 26 September 2014 (EDT)

Deletion/Renaming

This page seems to be a little bit outdated. With all of the new live action series (FUD, Nightfall, Halo Telivision series), it seems like the 1 project that this page was originally intended to cover (a movie) has splintered off into several different things, each with their own articles. What this page is provides is an exceptionally handy timeline, which I have used many times. Perhaps we should rename this page to reflect its role as a catalog of the history of live action series in Halo? --Weeping Angel (talk) 15:06, 26 September 2014 (EDT)

While I agree to an extent, I think the title is fine as it is. It's not perfect but it's succinct and it gets the point across — most of the history is about the original theatrical film project with more modest web releases like Forward Unto Dawn and Nightfall as little more than side notes, and I don't see a title that would better fit the article's scope. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 11:07, 29 September 2014 (EDT)
