making a movie about halo is like making a sitcom about an abusive husband. its never going to happen
Wasn't that "The Honeymooners"?
Or "All in the Family?"

On topic, though: I only ever played the first game to see what people were raving about. It didn't seem like there was enough of a storyline to translate over to the big screen. That being said, the games have an interesting visual. If they DO make this thing into a movie, I'd at least give it a shot. Too very different mediums mean too very different products, after all. No idea whether the thing's being made, though, as this thread is the first I've heard about it.

I heard that it was stopped due to lack of funds or people who wanted to invest in something so edgy for today's gaming/film market.

It's probably not going to be made. It's not been officially cancelled as far as I know, but to all intents and purposes it's dead. Which is probably a good thing, because as we all know, no video game movie has ever been good.

This won't be good, no game movie ever is.
Silent Hill would like to have a word with you.

Besides, in my opinion, the only way this movie could escape being overwhelmingly bad or mediocre is by telling a story about some kind of Spartan development center overrun by the flood, a la Quarantine. You'd get to see the Spartans and the Flood and it'd have a decent chance at being an okay movie.

The project is like a flickering light, sometimes it's in production and then the next thing you know they're canceling it, and then it's back. I have no idea what the status is now. Hopefully BioShock doesn't do this to me.

Fox and Microsoft say it died shortly after Halo 2 came out.
IMDB lists it as 'in production' but with no production staff, actors, director or even a producer now.
Everyone but Bungie says it's canned.

Bungie has no control over the Halo IP, so it's canned.

That was a promo bit for Halo3, originally it was three short sections and someone's glued them together with that sucky home made intro...
