    Given what happened with the Doom movie, this one will probably end up being set on Mars with invading demons from hell as the enemy.

    I have high hopes, and low expectations for this movie.

    I hope it is not as bad as it probably will be.

    Microsoft is keeping close creative control over the script writing process.
    Will the movie be compatible with non M$ movie theatres?

    Microsoft is keeping close creative control over the script writing process.

    since we all know that microsoft is well known for coming up with ideas on its own and implementing them on its own, this script will be highly original and will feature new actors in very creative and intriguing scenes and scenarios....

    laugh, its funny.

  5. What is M$ going to buy this time? by r00td43m0n · · Score: 4, Funny

    M$ bought Bungie to make a decent game for their system. What movie studio, director and cast are they going to buy for the HALO movie?
