Slashdot Mirror
Peter Jackson to Executive Produce Halo Movie
e03179 writes "According to Reuters, 'the Oscar-winning creative team behind the The Lord of the Rings films, including director Peter Jackson, has been named to run the production of the upcoming film based on Microsoft Corp.'s blockbuster Halo video game, the company said on Tuesday.' The film will be shot in New Zealand and Jackson's production and post-production studios will be used. World-wide release is set for mid-2007 by Fox and Universal. The then rumor was started by Gamespot two weeks ago and was previously covered by Slashdot." Okay, *now* I'm interested. More details available on the Bungie site.
How about "Red vs Blue"? ...oh, wait...
I might know what I'm talkin' about, but then again, this is Slashdot...
Yes, but my question is this: Will the movie be 3+ hours long?

By the time he's done with Halo, it should be just about time to start filming Duke Nukem Forever.
... was Larry Niven, who would probably give his left nut to get someone like Jackson to do Ringworld.
End of lesson. You may press the button.
Pong.
The touching movie about two lines and the square ball they share.
Has Hollywood run out of ideas?

Went to see Serenity this weekend and they showed Doom trailer that
featured nice shots of something being poked at with a chainsaw
The story line seemed to be unintrusively good too - "Mars. Horrible
disaster. If it breathes, shoot it."
Opens in late October 2005.

Master Chief: CGI/Costume with the original guy's voice
Sergeant Johnson: Samuel L. Jackson
Marine: Which one is your MA5B Assault Rifle?

Cortana: CGI?
Will they be using open standards? I want to be able to play this thing on my own custom hardware.
Are they going to provide the raw editable video source for free download? Heck, if I don't like something in the storyline I want to be able to edit it and recomplie my own version. Or if there's a glitch in the playback I can debug it myself.
It's a movie about Microsoft software!!! I'm going to boycott this evil movie.
That's true. I feared the worst for King Kong until I realized it wasn't based on Donkey Kong...

Master Chief will be written out to make way for a Tom Bombadil character, in order to finally quell all those whining LOTR poetry nerds. (That's right, all six of them.)
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
"Doomed" them, eh? No pun intended?
...do we need a remake of Starship Troopers already?
Come on, if he'll do Snakes On A Plane, he'll do this...

I think I think, therefore I think I am.
Sure, and a good one at that. According to Wikipedia, which I searched for the character names I remembered, it "tells the story of the Red Team and the Blue Team, ten soldiers belonging to two opposing armies, who occupy two small bases in a box canyon known as Blood Gulch. While both teams generally dislike the other and have standing orders to defeat the other team and capture their flag, neither team's soldiers are very motivated to fight each other. To varying degrees, most members of both teams are lazy, incompetent, or just plain deranged, and teammates often create more problems for each other than for their enemies. According to the story, each team built its base because the other team was building a base."
hear that?
Thats the joke going over your head.

It'll be a really boring movie, with the hero dying in the first ten minutes, reviving, dying, reviving, dying...with the climax being a controller thrown accompanied by a lot of cursing.
Maybe the music will be better.
