Halo film coming next year?

if there is a film i hope at the end master chief takes his helmet and the cam go up very slow and its sam l jackson and he says im Tired of these Mother-Fing Arbiters on this mother fing ship. then drop kick

@gam3r2011 Avatar was horrible!!! It was more like a sic-fi dances with wolfs meets furngully

Do people even read the article or do they just look at the title and then comment on how awesome the movie is going to be?

if they make a Halo movie it will surpass Avatar as the best Sci-Fi movie

Bogus ? damnit! that would have been cool.

@ TheIfym20 I heard they cast Chuck Norris as MC. The mask has even been redesigned to have a beard on it.

I want Bill Murray as master chief.

I'm sure Spielberg is executive producing, which is fine as long as they get Neill Blomkamp to direct. District 9 was easily one of the best sci fi movies ever made, a true work of art.

IF YOU KNOW ITS BOGUS THEN DONT POST ABOUT IT YOU DAMN MORONS!

I hope it never happens. 1. Halo is horribly generic, and there are enough generic, boring movies out there today. 2. 99% of video game movies suck ass. Mortal Kombat being the only good one.

Bogus

it's about freaken time at last a FILM!?!?!? O_O

It seems like they say this every year.

@vrygar777 Either that or what did they did with Halo Legends and make an animated movie to just finish the series off. I didn't watch Halo Legends yet, so I'm not sure what that was even about rofl

I would have loved to see how Neil Blomkamp's Halo movie would have looked.

I would much rather have a Halo movie instead of a Halo 4, 5, and 6. They have milked Halo way too much is what I'm trying to say, at least a movie would be something new.

I bet it'll be rated R for excessive T-Bagging

@Megavideogamer Your absolutely right most of the movies that have been based of games have been terrible except for a few select ones.

I guess we'll just have to make due with the awesome live-action trailer Landfall, and the ODST and Reach trailers.

A Halo movie would not turn out very well. Movies based on Videogames rarely work out.

Making it like the games would actually be the best way to reduce cost. They were really just a series of skirminshes. Put since this is Hollywood I'm sure were going to treated to a 1 or 2 pitched battles with a non canon anonymous UNSC marine being the star with very little mentions/showings of Masterchief. That is if the movie ever does get made. I'm glad the project hasn't advanced at all, no way it could live up to expectations after all the restarts and stops.

I wish the teams that make the Halo live action commercials would get a badass script and make a cool movie... the Halo ads are amoung the coolest things I've ever seen.

Yay a lego movie! About time too.

This could be such a bummer in the end, look how Resident Evil turned out! Not to mention Final Fantasy also!

@deathstream And pray tell, what content in the Halo games warrants an R rating? M =/= R. There are certainly plenty of M rated games that would deservedly earn an R as films, Halo is not one of them. While MPAA is inconsistent at best, I've seen nothing in Halo that isnt already in a plethora of PG13 movies. The only way Halo would get an R rating, is if they pushed the content into darker, harsher territory than any of the games have reached, and then people would cry foul because "it's not true to the games"

dont hold your breath people.

Unless it had almost no special effects, there was no way it could have been released before 2013 unless they had secretly filmed half. This article was just a tease to get page hits. They knew it was bogus before they asked. And there won't be a good Halo movie ever because the studio would insist on a PG-13 adaptaion of an M rated game.

I admit, I'm quite the Halo fan, but this rumor just needs to die. Every time I've seen it, I've been excited, only to see my hopes smashed like a Goomba that just got stepped on by Mario. Now, I'm cautiously optimistic.

Video game movies I would like to see: Deus Ex Splinter Cell Before any of you people suggest a Rainbow Six movie, that would not count as a video game movie. It was a Tom Clancy novel before it was ever a series of video games.

IMO, there will never be a Halo movie because everybody knows that they would never be able to make it as good as what the games are. If there IS a movie coming, I'll believe it when I see it.

tease.... not cool

I was too disappointed last time; Jackson and Blomkamp were perfect for this. Let's hope these guys can make it happen.

Well if a Halo movie ever comes out, it won't be for a while.

Sounds good to me

Well, I guess Spielberg and Dreamworks could be good. I'd rather have this than some lame live-action garbage like the crappy (imo) Resident evil films.

Finally, About time Samuel L Jackson dusted off that green helmet and made this movie.....*in case its not obvious thats sarcasm* @lycan022 Not all of them suck, there's like 1 or 2 that are ok, and there's usually 1 thats really fun. but that 1 game only happens like once every 3-5 years....

Even if they didn't confirm it as bogus, I can't see a full length film being made this quickly. No actors named, no screenplay finished, etc.

Even if it were true. I doubt there's enough time to make a film in just one year of time. I think movies usually take at least 2 years to make, usually longer.

Video game movies that flopped: Street Fighter, Double Dragons, Super Mario Brothers Video game movies that were so-so: Doom, Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, The Resident Evil films. Video game movie that were awesome: Mortal Kombat, Hitman

After hearing once about a Halo rumored movie(that turned into District 9) I hope the french aren't pulling our tails. If there is actually a Halo movie coming then sign me up for front row seats!! If this is not true then I want to whack a French person!

Great so Shrek is gonna b in it I'll pass

When it was Peter Jackson and his studio responsible for the work and Blomkamp directing, with Spielberg producing, it was something to look forward to, but they have moved on. Only Spielberg is left and he's long past his prime. Better to let this one lie...unless Jackson changes his mind after The Hobbit is finsihed.

@Payasoplas you got that mixed up. all movie based games suck. most videogame based movies rule!!!

The real question here is who would play master chief.

If done by the right person and the right studio, I can see this being more than just a "game to screen adaptation". Halo does have a cool universe to put a film in (and obviously games and novels... and anime...), so why not? Though they wouldn't make a film if they think it won't live up to the franchise...

After seeing the Halo: Landfall short film on YouTube which was directed by Neill Blomkamp, it made me sad realizing how cool a movie would have been

I'll believe it when I finally have a copy of the Last Guardian in my hands. These two rumors are the same. Backed with real planning, but really they are both vaporware.

Yeah Figured, no way they could release a halo movie in 2012 and have it fly under the radar this long!! games are one thing, movies, well thats just an "e-true hollywood story" of another case.

I hope not, ALL video game based movies suck!!!
