Peter Jackson Talks the Halo Movie

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the master-chief-has-his-own-chair dept.

Via Kotaku, an interview on Ain't It Cool News with Peter Jackson talking about the in-conception Halo Movie. From the article: "QUINT: Now, there's no reason on Earth shouldn't easily and faithfully be adapted into a PG-13 movie. However, do you anticipate there being a harder cut considering how gruesome the Flood aspect of the story is? PETER JACKSON: That's interesting... It's something, I must admit, that's not a conversation I've had with anybody yet. It's a conversation that I'm sure will happen. Look, the reality of the budget is that I would imagine the studio are going to be pretty insistent on a PG-13, which, as you say, is certainly not an impossible thing pull off."

    I'd rather see them make a film of Larry Niven's Ringworld.

    The only choice for Master Chief is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Anyone else cool enough is too old for the role.

    (Sorry, Samuel L. Jackson.)

      But Samuel L. Jackson would be superb as the Sergeant.

    I don't care who plays the MC, as long as he doesn't take his helmet off to have a intimate 'plot building' scene with Cortana. Oh god anything but that!!! If its going to be true to the game's theme, the actual on screen presence will be nothing but a stunt man in an impressive looking space suit, and they will get the original voiceover guy to do what (few) words are necessary.
