Casting call for Halo movie

[Eagle Est1986]

I thought that they'd said, in no uncertain terms, that a Halo movie wasn't going to happen now.
Still, full CGI all the way, I can't see how Halo could translate to live action.

Master chief - Just a tall guy no one knows or will ever know. (so you cant put a face to him), and this voice actor still does his voice.

the halo movie collaped as the movie company wanted to mess with the scripts, not sure what they wanted to do fully. Bungie isn't a company to let someone mess with their story/background, and also know if it'd upset/annoy they're fans.
I know one thing was to show the master chiefs face which bungie turned round and told them no, as no one see the face. (before anyone says about the beta test chiefs face - that was one of their artists messing about XD). I have a feeling they most likely would want a love story thrown into the movie - they do that with EVER movie now.... So yeah basically hollywood the movie.

Master Chief - David Prowse (he have experience just fitting suits)
Johnson - Samuel L Jackson ("Take those motherf**king Flood of this motherf**king planet")
Cortana - Aki Ross (from that epic fail movie called Final Fantasy)

And Master Chief could be played by a damn mannequin on a remote controlled platform, as he never shows his face (and thus emotion) - you don't need an actor for that. I think actually signing a big name actor for that will be a real sign of weakness in the product.

V for Vendetta. How much emotion is portrayed on V's face even though he constantly wears that same damned mask.

I'm with Simon_TR though. Full CGI all the way, and the original voice actors.

There is a subtle difference there. For one, V's style of movement and his posing is still highly contributory to the character, while Master Chief, as you may have noticed, is in an armoured suit, and is genetically bred.

V was also some kind of experiment.
but why would any one want a HALO movie, it might be considerd epic but HALO is a young franchise, personally I think a HALO movie would be a waste of time. And indeed if the likes of Uwe Boll (well he was the right person for the postal film) would be making it, it would suck harder than an industrial vacuum cleaner.
I'd Rather see the castlevania movies ( but I still think it would suck)
When games turn hollywood they start to break down all that was cool about the games. my best example would be Resident evil 2 (film) an emotional nemesis... come on... in the game it's just an annoying pain in the ass with that can grunt nothing but S.T.A.R.S. and is damn hard to kill.
I liked the tomb raider movies, the games don't have that much more story and I like Angelina Jolie in tight outfits.
and indeed the terrible love story things, "blech!" I mean let's make a movie about say... Duke nukem (wich could be great if you did it just right) would the Duke fall in love with one of the strippers he just payed.. c'mon... not all movies need sentiment or mushy love scenes just gimme some hard boiled action here.
In that matter the 80's where great where the likes of arnie and stallone could kick anyone's ass just because they were the good guys.

What are you talking about, he is constantly happy.

I think if Chief ever removes his helmet it will ruin the movie, just like what happened to Judge Dredd.
I'd really want the Halo film to be good, I think if they threw loads of money at it and made it a spectacle it'd be a fun watch, at least for a few times.
However, I see Chief removing his mask, getting the girl and saving the world in 90 minutes, pandering to the studio rather than the fans.

 

[Alstan]

If the movie is based on the first game, great. If it's based on the 2nd or 3rd... sorry but I'm tired of religious fights

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

If they screwed up the plot and went for comedy make Chuck Norris Master Chief.

Well, long ago as I played he first halo, climbing a spire bashing in the skulls of of cheesie monsters with epic music playing the back ground I was kinda reminded of old Sci Fi hero movies. Like Flash Gordon.

It seems the trend of modern movies is to take them to the darkest most gritty extremes.
Though I enjoyed the new Batman movie I thought as a society we are getting awfully evil.
All I see is people walking around dressed in full black, not caring about a full scale war going on around the corner, not even caring about religion or hollywood or even their children.

Any ways, like I say I would like to see a Halo movie with a slightly light hearted tone. Like seriously the Covenant is really cartoon villian like.

And music done by Queen hahaha. And Will Smith as the Sarge (though even he took a turn at gritty and realism lately), and the guy that played Harvey Dent in the Dark Knight as Master Cheif (sorry I forgot his name, And Cortona just being completely CG designed.

 

[God's Clown]

Master Chief should be played by Hulk Hogan, just him wearing a suit. So you know someone badass is in the suit, just don't have to hear his annoying voice.

Token Minority in a high rank: Wesley snipes or Samuel L. Jackson fer sure.

Arbitor: Well CG i guess.

Finally, Bruce Cambell NEEDS to be in there, just somewhere. He could be just a marine, or something, but he needs to be there.

 

[Spartan Bannana]

Isn't it Obvious for Sergent Johnson: Samuel L. Jackson
"I am tired, of these motherfucking flood on this motherfucking Halo!"

 

[jacodemon]

CG yes. Give it to one of the quiet, sad-looking guys tucked away at the back of the Disney/Pixar office. You know, the kind of guys who have horribly disfigured scale models of Nemo at home that they've posed being chainsawed by their McFarlane "Ash from Evil Dead 2".

Shame it's inevitably going to be drivel. I'd just make it on a shoestring: might as well. Halo fans don't really care about production values. Oh wait.

V was an experiment in a different sense. He was a regular person who changed through testing, he was not made in some lab like i believe master chief was.

I don't think Judge Dredd removing his helmet is what ruined THAT movie. There were plenty of other things.
