Halo Flick Might Be on the Way

Blamemyparents writes "Ain't It Cool News has a story that the ever so popular Halo might be making the jump to the big screen. It looks like Ridley Scott, director of Gladiator and Alien is doing it. Judging from IGN's take on the story, it looks like the story would pick up more on Halo 2 than on the original Halo, which he feels didn't have enough of a storyline going. Here's to hoping it doesn't go the way of that Final Fantasy flick."

Waiting for Pong as a movie

I'm taking bets on how long we'll have to wait before we see Pong as a thrilling new attraction at local theaters.

I hope the hold true to the awesome storyline told in Halo 2. They could use the plant from Little Shop of Horrors, and the climax would be when the movie just abruptly ends 22 minutes into it!

Summary: "It looks like Ridley Scott, director of Gladiator and Alien is doing it."

Article: "Now the tricky part is, apparently Ridley Scott has seen the materials before. And subsequently passed on doing it. ... Don't know if Ridley's budged."

Tricky on the part of Warner Brothers. They know Halo 2 did well, so they "leak" some baseless information regarding Ridley Scott being attached to the project, hopefully get enough response to trade rags say things like "gaming fans around the globe have already begun wetting themselves with excitement" and then go back to Scott Free and say, "Hey, look, we've got all this support now!"

By the time the movie comes out, it will have 7 writers, star Paul Walker as Master Chief, and be directed by Tony Scott, he of "Top Gun" fame.

Let's hope it's not EXACTLY like Halo 2 ;)
