The Halo movie has been confirmed by Peter Jackson. If you don't know, he's created Lord of the Rings, one of the most successful movie trilogies of all time! I'm looking forward to see how he turns the best video game into a masterpiece! Source >>>INTERVIEW OF PETER JACKSON ON HALO MOVIE<<<
Yeah, sorry mate - we've known this for a long time now... Further more from the movie 'confirmation', problems have arose, making it seem less likely that the movie will in fact go ahead. I'm sure if you search on the internet, you'll scoop a few news threads. I'm not sure what the status of the movie is at the moment, but the production has been kept (either intentionally or not) very quiet, leading me to beleive it may go off the radar.
Is it really Peter Jackson? Everytime I watch it I'll admit that it looks more and more like him. But also, if you didn't realise this video was put on Youtube in 2006! Three years ago.
Cancelled Yeah, this movie has been cancelled. There still seems to be interest, but nothing has moved forward in a long time. Here is a website dedicated to all news about Halo the Movie: Halo Movie Website
Why would they carry on making it if it were cancelled. Cancelled means not doing it anymore. Think of it like a map. When you get stuck, you can either leave it and get help with it, or delete the map regarding it as too problematic and work on something else. You're thinking of the first option, but cancelled is closer to the second option, I'm afraid. Personally I am glad it will never happen. Think about it; how many books are there and how complicated are the stories in the games? If they covered everything in a film, it would be at least three hours long and/or be ****. It would squander the storyline and make it look cheesy. Even if it is Peter Jackson made it, it'll still be bad. They'd have to make it into several films, like maybe one fore each bookk or the film will majorly lack depth and possibly go too fast, confusing people not familiar with the story. It was going to be called Halo: Chronicles, btw. Here's the apparent first 8 minutes of the film. I think the starting sequence isn't real, but the rest seems real. Don't be fooled by the text in the description, the vid was uploaded at the start of October 2007.
Hi, When they said 'cancelled' they could of meant persponed. Anyways, How do you know they will NEVER make it? ~Cannon.
I don't truly know, but: 1) It's been 2 years. Nothing new has been heard, and it seems very likely that it's not going to happen, and 2) I really hope they never do make it for the reasons listed in my previous post.
lol i saw you posted there on youtube....... like he said, it would probably be one of a few things: -too fast paced cramming all books with master chief in it plus halo 1 and maybe 2 into anything less than a 5 hour documentary -take it maybe 1-2 books at a time, confusing people who have never read the books into how it all ties in -since 1-2 books per would make it like a 4-movie trilogy(not even including halo 2 and 3!!!) that everyone loses interest in after the second one -only uses the games, making for a boring story, and unappealing to fanboys maybe peter jackson could make a movie that appeals to everyone...but we dont even know whos directing, writing or anything right now...... too bad. it coulda been a great movie. right now im hoping they dont **** up the gears of war movie like they did this......
no, thats not real, that was like a private production i think. the movie was cancelled during pre production, they wouldnt have shot anything actually intended to be in the film. but i think it would be sick if they did make the movies. it wouldnt be that compressed if it was based on the games. since most of it is combat, and combat can be shown well in a film in a fairly short amount of time, they could include almost all of the story from the games and most from the books. only if it was done in multiple films of course.
Did someone just manage to bump a 4 year old topic which never actually existed? Congrats, man! Oh wait, 4 year old news thread bumping is against the rules! You are sentenced to DEATH BY RAY!
Old News is Old, Movie has already been canceled. I agree with what EpicFishFingers said. There are books and the stories in the games are complicated. How could you manage to put that in with just movie. It would be hard with just one book, having to follow along would get boring for some people.
Hearing the Halo Movie picked up production again made me smile really big. REALLY BIG. AND YOU JUST TURNED IT INTO A FROWN! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL!
The Halo movie as it is has been postponed indefinitely. The last news on the movie was a supposed pitch to be presented to [microsoft/film studio - which i cant remember] which was notably made up of concept art for a Fall of Reach movie. Trust me. I've been following the Halo Movie since 2004. halomovieonline.com usually has the latest information when it comes up, but considering that the movie is effectively dead don't expect anything anytime soon.
According to the source you quoted, it's not canceled. Let's take a closer look to the news update there on October 29th, 2008: You should check the source you quote, before quoting it.
its not canceled its just put on hold because they cant get anyone to fund it. this news is old, like reealy old
