Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox has struck a deal with Microsoft to make a feature based on the hit XBox video game, "Halo," written by Alex Garland. Universal will release the film domestically while Fox will have international rights. "Halo" and "Halo 2" has grossed $600 million worldwide. This feature's release is targeted for 2007.
I bet it's going to suck. No matter how hard Bungie wants to keep the Halo story as close to the game as they can, I'm sure that 20th Century or someone is going to make it suck. Oh well, one can hope, I guess, but... eh, I think it's not going to be that good.
Game to Movie = bad idea At least most of the time. i mean, the movie will be ok, special effects and stuff will be good probly but a game is different to movie. They'll have to take away to much and add to much. If you go in not expecting it to be like the game and with low hopes then you may be impressed....possibly.
I'm looking forward to seeing how it will turn out, i'm not going to judge how much it will suck as i haven't saw a trailer. I'm hoping it won't keep tradition of Games to Movie transitions.
What a mistake...what a mistake...tsk tsk tsk... Alright. How can you possibly make one of the most popular video games in the history of video games a movie? How can you possibly make a movie like that successful? Of course there is going to be a shitload of special effects and graphics, but what the fuck? How the hell are they going to make a successful movie out of a game? I can't even imagine it. I don't even want to. I want to see a trailer of this movie. That will truly tell if it's worth seeing or not. But, I will go see it just for the sake of seeing how good it turns out to be. I think it will be an absolute failure. It won't be as good as actually playing the game. I bet it's going to have a bunch of shitty acting and all. What a mistake...what a mistake.
all facts tell us the movie's gonna suck.Can sum1 tell me why they keep making movies based on games?? the money's not gonna be that much... BTW i'm not sure if you guys know that the wrestler The Rock is filmin' a movie called "Doom" and some think it's gonna be based on the game...
