Still No Director For Halo Movie
Via 1up.com, an interview with Halo movie Producer Peter Jackson about his upcoming King Kong feature and the film adaptation of the Bungie game. As of yet, he has not selected a Director. From the article: "Question: You're still producing Halo? Jackson: Yeah. Question: What attracted you to Halo? Jackson: I'm a fan of the game. Question: But video game movies suck. Jackson: They do. Question: So what will be different? Jackson: Hopefully it won't suck. "
Master Chief's actor just has to look good in a battle suit. He does not need to talk at all. That would be out of character.
Next find a good looking girl to play the part of the 3D AI. Show her naked through out the movie. Make it rated R or NC-17. If I'm going to watch a movie based on a game, there best be some fan service.
Next thing to do is make sure the bulk of the movie is located on the Halo. When the Master Chief looks in the sky, I want to see the other side of the Halo.
I'd like to see is either excellent CG enemies or guys in suits. I want none of that cheap looking Hulk CG. I want to be frightened by the enemy. When the Flood comes after me, I want to feel the fear and need to flee. In regards to the Flood, I want to see them actually transform a human corpse.
Follow these guidelines and the movie won't suck as much as it would if it was made for a PG or PG-13 movie.
Since I've only played Halo 1 a bit (on PC) and Halo 2 a TINY bit (one sitting), I don't even really care. I'll probably watch it if it ever shows up on cable late one night and hopefully Jackson will do a good job with it.
