It is starting to become maybe one of the biggest lies ever for a movie rumor. According to Varity, Microsoft reportedly signed Alex Garland to a $1 Million Dollar deal to write the screenplay for a Halo Movie. Then they would sell the rights & the screenplay as a package deal but the report stated that Microsoft never officially made it official. So, could this Halo Movie been a lie just to keep up the Halo hype?

lets hope so. i hope a halo movie never reaches the light of day. I despise XBox but love this game, and by making a movie out of such a good game its bound to be bad.

Unfortunately I'd give it a year or two before they announce a "Halo" movie.
With the success of the game, it's pretty much bound to happen.

I think the games are repetitive pieces of s*** and they need to quit making games like that. There are like 100,000 wars games in first person which makes Halo another war game just not set in vietnam.

I enjoy Halo and part 2 for about 2 hours and than it becomes what it was meant to be... Garbage.

As I've said the film if not in animation will suck badly because nobody wants to see any more cgi fests especially a stupid war film.

I've played Halo, but don't think it's worth an X-Box.
A movie wouldn't work, but we'll still probably see a film in the works in the next couple of years.

There is going to be a movie. I found the news on some upcoming movie website. Plus with the major sales still going up with Halo 2, the movie rumor is becoming reality. Those of you who have beat the game, all know that a Halo 3 will be hitting stores in 2006 or 2007, so most likley we will see a movie by at least by summer of 2006.

The best part of Halo 1 and halo 2 is multiplayer

CoronaExtra04 I don't were you heard that at & that is becoming a reality. I'm sorry but were ever you got your news even when its a site you don't even remember then it basically full of crap. Plus a Halo Movie coming out in a year from now I very much doubt it. Has far as some of you hating Halo & Xbox personally I think your nuts its by far better then Sony's crap hole of a console & Nintendo is on the verge of going down the drane. I'm sorry but Halo has been mentioned by some of the best in the video game business has the best game ever made...it brough gaming to a whole new world games like Grand Theft Auto & Zelda have done much of anything. GTA is just down right boring as could be...Zelda who really cares. But back to a Halo Movie...Mircosoft said they would have announced it if Alex Garland was picked to write the script & well, they haven't a Halo Movie right now to me seems unlikely.

I never said i hated the games, cause i love them. I wish Halo 3 would just hurry up and come out.

But to tell you the truth, it would make a good movie if done really, really, right.

But with movie sequels today, the games are the same way, so watch they come out with a Halo 4, 5, and 6.

....I love the Zelda game on N64. And actually without the Halo series and Doom 3 X-box really sucks. Playstation 2 has much better games and the Gamecube is going to at least release a (hopefully) decent Zelda game on the Gamecube (Wind Waker was crappy.).

I love Halo as well but without it the X-box would still be considered the loser out of the 3. I've found myself buying more PS2 games then X-box games just becaus ePlaystation 2 only game titles are better then X-box only titles ( with the exception of Halo of course)

But anyways....I give a one thumb up to the idea of a Halo movie if done right. But I would rather see Mega Man hit the big screen before Halo...

Halo has a pretty basic storyline, it could be done as a movie. But I don't know anyone who was sold by its single player campaign. And if the movie is bad, which I'd expect it to be, it couldn't possibly be good for sales, at least not good enough to justify the money needed to make this.

Nintendo has a new Zelda game called Twilight Princess (I think) that is to come out later this year on the Gamecube. Its graphics are sooooooooooo much better than the cell shade mess that was Windwaker (despite its decent playability).

I have always preferred the Gamecube over the over two systems for one HUGE reason. Can you guess it? NO LOAD SCREENS! Not on the games made by Nintendo. Metroid doesn't have 'em. Mario doesn't have 'em. Zelda doesn't have 'em. That and I've been a Nintendo Loyalist since I got my first 8-bit system back in 1986. There are load screens on non-Nintendo produced games such as 007 and Mortal Kombat (those games that are also on Xbox and PS(fill in the number)), but not on Nintendo's own.

I played a PS1 for about 30 minutes once. I hated it because of those load screens. Sure it pays audio CD's but I have a CD player...why do I need another one? Sure Xbox and PS2 play DVD's, but I already have a DVD player. I bought a game system to play games on.

Anyway, I digress. As for another movie based on a video game? Usually a huge mistake. Video games are stories that focus on one character...you. You are to go through this whole storyline usually alone speaking to few people. The storyline usually lasts as long as a TV Season. A movie moves quicker, has more dramatic elements, has more characters, has subplots that focus on the tension between the characters, among other things. Name a movie based on a video game that was good...I mean really good.

Resident Evil? Nope.
Tomb Raider? Nope.
Super Mario Brothers? Good effort, but nope.

I guess I'm the odd one out here, but I love my X-Box, I love my Live, and I love me some Halo.  Lucky for me the script "rumor" actually is quite true seeing as Microsoft has finally begun to shop it around starting yesterday.  Just follow this link:

It's gonna happen eventually and with Alex Garland onboard as well as the rumored involvement of Ridley Scott (as a possible producer or director), I couldn't be happier.  And here's to Microsoft and Bungie for not simply selling their license off to the highest bidder but instead making their own script as well as a "bible" for the studios to follow.  Again, I realize I am not the majority here, but I am very happy with how this one is going.

I enjoy Halo 2 on X Box live but people cheat and the campaign but I don't see a film satisfying fanboys, personally I'd probably go see it anyway but as long as they are not giving it away like Bloodrayne and a few others have to a certain dildo I'm fine with it.

There's actually a qoute out there from one of the head guys at Bungie saying that there is no way on Earth that Uwe Boll will ever be allowed near this film.
