Halo Script Hawked To Studios
Gamespot has the story of Microsoft's crusade to sell the Halo movie script to a studio. They really went all out, apparently, with messengers dressed as Master Chief delivering the scripts to the major studios. From the article: "Whatever studio picks up the project would also have to relinquish 'strict control of development' to Halo developer Bungie Studios, who have written a 'bible' which any director and producer would have to follow. Variety's sources say the purpose of the 'bible' is 'to make sure any changes to the script don't alter the universe established in the first two Halo games that will continue in future sequels,' apparently further confirming Halo 3 is in the works."
leeeeerooyyyy jennnnnkinnnnnnsssss!
A few weeks ago, I turned off my PC, hit the road and just spent the last two weeks in the woods of Texas listening to a thousand different folk musicians sing about life, love, politics and more. I looked up into the sky and saw a billion stars; I made pizza at 4am in a hand-made oven of earthen materials with a bunch of people I met minutes earlier, and it was the best pizza I'd ever had. My cell phone didn't ring once. I didn't check my e-mail, and I sure as hell could care less whether they make another Halo, movie or videogame. I hope those of you will take some time to back away from the artificial glow of the screen and the detached violence to spend some quality time pursuing art, life, new friends, fresh air... and half-naked hippie chicks... you might enjoy it. If you truly care whether Halo is made into a movie, you've seriously lost touch with your priorities.
Did anyone notice that the Star Trek Armada 1 and 2 computers games were more exciting, better written and a whole lot more fun than any of the STTNG Movies?
