Yeah, we all know no good science fiction flick can have cute little Saturday-morning-cartoonish aliens...

Also there are Jawas :D

And like Grunts, they distract the audience away from the real badassesof Tatooine.

[QUOTE="enterawesome"]Dude, ewoks are awesome. They are the only creatures to ever manage to capture and nearly burn alive Han Solo and a Jedi, and their freaking teddy bears. They also defended the forest from an army of stormtroopers. Doesn't that say something about the awesomeness of ewoks?enterawesome

Funny you say that, because a *LOT* of people love Ewoks (they've become quite the positively perceived icon). But eh, you are one of the people I've seen in this forum most likely to lord your opinion as some sort of overarching truth (which in this forum is saying a lot), so I guess if that's how you see the world, who am I to argue? ;)

Shafftehr

This is really good news,I hope Spielberg makes this happen.

Really suave mate

Halo Movie? No thanks. Mr Spielberg please dont waste your time with Halo Movie but instead do Metroid: The Movie. SEXY WOMEN >>> Bulky bloke who has roid rage.Dibdibdobdobo

A Metroid movie? That would be badass. Still want a Halo movie though being a very good series that it is.:P

Halo + Spielberg that would be huge!!! i would definitely see the movie if it ever comes out...:)

so that is the general consensus then.

More people then not are excited for the movie.

Except it Cows and Halo haters.

acually there are lots of video games that have neither books nor movies based on them i.e Legend Of Zelda, Metroid, Banjo Kazooie, ectMarioMaster789

Really? Bumping a YEAR old thread?

I thought this was old when I read August but damn.

Spielberg + Halo film = PG13 = No Thanks

I don't care about his latest films other than his earlier works and historical based films, which were R-rated.

And he seems to have some kind of bias towards making R-rated films outside the Historical genre.

Seriously, this thread's old.

If he wants to exec-produce it that's great, but if it's anyone besides Neill Blomkamp directing, I don't think i'd want to see it.

Halo seems to be one of the few video game franchises that could transition to movies.

I think Halo would be hard to do well as a live action movie as many of the characters and lore would need to be CGI and there is always a chance thatit would become more anime than live action. I think I would prefer it in the style of Avatar as opposed to Transformers though the budget would need to be massive. I think a Gears of War movie makes a lot more sense, not because the story is better but because the main cast will be human and easier to identify with and also means only the Locust need to be CGI.

I vote Ridley Scott for Halo.

And Michael Mann for Kane and Lynch movie

Sounds fitting, a mediocre director for a mediocre game ;)kuraimen

I'm with this guy, a mediocre director does not win accolades and oscars up the butt.

Now, George Lucas on the other hand... well, its been a while since the awesomeness of the 80's Indiana Jones and Star Wars flicks.

I was disappointed by the new Star Wars and Indy, but at the very least they had good effects. South Park had it right though.

At the very least Spielberg's Minority Report and Munich were bold and fantastical far cries from the shlocky action films of Michael Bay that are so popular.

Also I don't think insane critical reception to recent releases like Minority Report and humdreds of millions off the latest Indy (which Lucas ruined up) are a damning statement to him.

I think they should skip Reach, and do an intro similar to Fellowship of the Ring, recapping what happened. And then do the Halo Trilogy.

I have not liked his last few directorial outings. To be honest, I don't know who I would want on to Direct, thinking about it.SpruceCaboose

As brilliant as Spielburg isi think Halo would be safer in the hands of Blomkamp and Jackson, they did an amazing job with District 9 and it totally had a Halo vibe to it.

sonic_spark

do you mean doing a movie similar based of contact harvest(assuming you mean the UNSC vs the covenant when you said what happen).
