Oh god It's true....

yeah...
i just wished M$ went with their own "Computer Generated" movies....which is alot like Final Fantasy:The Spirits Within...
They couldve had the regualr Master Chief voices and stuff...

Lmao, the movie is gonna be horrible.

as long as the rumor of Ridley Scott directing it would be true, if he directs the film it will be awsome! They don't need to do all CG, alot will be needed but not all. A fun DVD extra would be to (after production of the film of course!) find a REAL place in the desert and build two bases...you may see where i am going here. Hire the guys at RVB for voices and have some fun! a hilarious and REAL CTF! maybe even at the end of the film it could play with the credits!

Oh god this sucks... *prays that some big loser actor like ben-aflek doesn't get hired to play in the movie, ESPECIALLY as the MasterChief*

they should definatly make the entire movie computer generated sio it will be like the awesome movies in halo

This movie is gonna be pure trash. Overhyped just like Halo2 was, tricking idiot fanatics into wasting $8.25 to see a two hour movie packed with special effects and paired with a super shitty PLAYED OUT plot.

Ben Affleck - Master Chief...


OMGROFL XD

I was hoping he would be played by someone like Rowan Atkinson.

Who's that? The earlier rumors, were that some director wanted ben aflec as the MC


I DON'T want some rish fag director who doesn't know a shit about Halo making a fricking Halo movie. Nuh uh. Nooooo way.

Its most probably going to suck no matter what director you get, and Rowan Atkinson is Mr. Bean, and he is the Jonny English guy, Im not sure if he is that well known outside of the UK.

Please, please, please, please be computer animated, having real actors at this point would seriously !F!U!C!K! the story so much. XD

well then its gonna suck, justl ike mr bean does. my music teacher makes us watch it wen he doenst want to do ne thing. hes like if yall dont stop, yall arent watching mr bean and were just like ooh no anything but that *sarcasm

Did this article state it's source, or did they just think that a general concensus said that there is one? Keep in mind that Bungie said that there isn't any movie.

i realy hope they don't make a halo movie they'd mess it it
only person i think could make a ok MC for a halo movie done with real people would be sid from nightmare armor
