Halo Movie Slated For 2007

Master Chief is slated to come to the silver screen...in 2007. Gamespot reports that Fox and Microsoft have come to an agreement. From the article: "However, negotiating a movie deal proved as challenging as taking down a Covenant dropship, as several studios surprisingly passed on producing a Halo movie. The reason: film studios may be used to kowtowing to A-list actors' demands, but don't typically cave in to requests from non-Hollywood players. Initial reports saw the software giant asking for $10 million against 15 percent of the gross (whichever is higher), a below-the-line budget of $75 million (budget before hiring actors and crew), near-immediate production of the movie, and a large say in the creative development of the movie." Update: 08/23 20:59 GMT by Z : Fixed time travel problem.

In other words: It will feature a very low and poorly used budget and will be about Master chief fighting human "mutant /infected" covenant as a member of a space SWAT team in mars (although the entire movie will take place indoors and in sewers) the "covenant" will be grown men wearing rubber chicken suits.

In really few words: it will SUCK so much people will think it was made back in 2003.
