If he did direct the halo movie with peter jackson it would be sweet.

I've never seen a movie that blended reality and cgi to that degree.

Neill completed and debuted this film years ago. That is why they picked him for the Halo Movie initially.

Sorry, it is a lot like a film he shot years ago.

5.2 - Yeah

...and using Manson's version of Sweet Dreams was a nice touch. I'm not a Manson fan, but when I first heard his rendition (during House on Haunted Hill's opening)...I was like..."WTF? THAT'S AMAZING!"

I want to see Gamer too.

- Where the Wild Things Are
- The Last Airbender
- District 9
- The Informant (They filmed it in my home town...and EVERYONE here wants to see it because we're all in it. Lols. Everyone in my town met and talked to Matt Damon and they feel special.)
- 9
- Alice in Wonderland
- The Hobbit
- Zombieland

Tons of others...

Neill completed and debuted a film similar to this years ago where the aliens were dieing in the same place and the aliens looked just like these. Here is the link---> http://www.youtube.com/watc...

8 - WHY WHY WHY didn't they green light this guy to finish the Halo movie!

The short film footage was amazing and now the film looks like it will be the sleeper movie of the entire summer.

The Halo footage was already amazing and I know that after this flick drops there will definately be a bidding war to green light the project.

Can wait till August 18th!

I think what happen was the Halo movie budget skyrocketed and they felt like it was a huge risk giving a big budget like that to a no name director.

I freakin' love Neill.

He's right up there with Jackson himself. Look out for him, JJ Abrams, and Matt Reeves in the future. They all need to get together and make one freakin' amazing movie.

Anyone else really want to see The Last Airbender?

how does this relate to the situation in Iraq? because there is sand.

it relates to the refugee crisis in Africa because of the ethnic cleansing that is going on the Darfur, nothing to do with Iraq.

1 - Thank You Sony

For producing this movie, which looks far more interesting than the inevitable bloated summer blockbuster that Halo would be. Not hating on a Halo movie, but from what I've taken away from the game's story, it just doesn't have enough substance to support a full length feature film.

Now I've never read any of the Halo books, which people tell me are far better than the games, but it makes me wonder, why don't the games take a lesson and try and improve the story? Look at what Sony has done w/ games like Uncharted and SotC. Both those games have great stories and cinematic elements, and they are both currently slated for production. Gullermo Del Toro might even be making SotC.

1.2 - Delusional? Hardly

The plot to Halo has more holes than a slice of swiss cheese. First off, it is severely lacking a main protagonist - Master Cheif is as generic a character as it gets. Secondly, the enviroments are extremely bland and boring. And last but not least, the creature designs are stupid. Especially those wannabe gumbas.

The games biggest fault for me is just how generic it is. Do we really need another cliche blockbuster that ends in a big war scene?(The Matrix Rev, Lotr2-3, PotC, Star Wars1-2, Terminater Sal., etc.) The Halo universe has very little personality.
