Halo Flick Might Be on the Way

Posted by Zonk on from the i-would-cast-master-chief-as-master-chief dept.

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."

  1. Master Cheif and Cortana by MBCook · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Well, at least it would be hard to mess up master chief and cortana.

    Master Chief can be played by anyone. He's just a suit. Then you dub over his voice and you're set.

    Cortana is supposed to be CGI anyways (in the game) so there is no problem there either. Again, get the voice from the game and you're set.

    They should be able to get it "right" pretty easily. But if it comes to the screen, I'm just worried they will try to give Master Chief a romantic interest or something like that, or scenes without his armor on or something like that. They could make a good action/war flick that would be fun to watch, but they could easily make something that is as true to the game as the Super Mario Brothers move was.

  2. Halo 2? by krel · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't think either Halo or the sequel have enough of a plot to shoot a half-decent movie around.
    Marathon though, I'd give both kidneys to see a movie based off that.
