Microsoft: There Will Be A Halo Movie

At the Future of Television East conference last week, Microsoft's Frank O'Connor sat on a panel that focused on the grail of transmedia.

Halo's franchise development director is a shortish, stocky guy who looks like a feisty boxer. And he's proud bordering on arrogant about the lauded series of games that sold so many Xboxes. "We want to have Halo on any screen we have access to," said O'Connor. That would be the height of ubiquity indeed.

Thats the 100th time i readed something like this.

[eferreira]

lol let me guess, the rock to play as master chief?

[ilikecookies]

Does that make any sense? Technically, No one will be Master Chief since no one knows at all what he looks like.

[karl]

he still needs a voice u know..

oh wait he doesnt.. j/k

but seriously .. an actor is needed at least for the voice

if they are making a CGI MC

[eferreira]

they always screw up video game movies. Watch they give him a face and some stupid back story like his family was murdered by the arbiter.

[00]

They should totally get the guy who did the live action commercials for halo3/reach.

[SuperKing]

I'd prefer if Studio Blur did a CG movie of it.

[00]

but those commercials sold me on there being a live action movie.

[Kos-Mos]

Directed by michael bay. And that would be the end of the box brand.

[Active Reload]

You can only wish, huh?

[Kos-Mos]

I sincerely hope that you think he`s a bad director or else you should do something quick.

[Active Reload]

Get some pussy?

[Forbidden_Darkness]

I think Peter Jackson could do an amazing job really, just look at District 9. Him or James Cameron are my best bets for doing an amazing film with such a big universe.

If anything, Michael Bay would be better then most other directors.

[Cenobia]

District 9 wasn't directed by Peter Jackson.

Neill Blomkamp co-wrote and directed it.

Peter Jackson "presented it", which means he produced (basically he put up his money).

[Forbidden_Darkness]

@Cenobia: Yes, my bad, i thought i had just read something that says he was the director so i never thought about it, but looking at my DVD case, you are right, sorry about that.

[socomnick]

district 9 was garbage.

Id like to see alfonso cuaron make it.

Either him or ridley scott

[Kos-Mos]

Michael bay made the worst movie of all time: pearl harbour, and ever since it`s junk for teenagers. N4G obviously isn`t the place for people that have great understanding of movies.

Edit: people believe in Cameron after avatar....oh no!

[gamerdude132]

What the hell is this?

[noxeven]

this was an ad for halo 3 if if i remember ive seen this video before

[Simco876]

Halo fans will love this, the rest won't give it a shot at all

[dragonelite]

that trailer was really something one nice using all the game promotional materials.Had a nice blend of action and docu in it.

Yeah yeah im a halo fanboy halo can't do wrong in my eyes.

[karl]

oh really.. i was thinking MS was going to let those millions slip away

/s

[sp1deynut]

So does that mean Sony is donating all proceeds from the Uncharted and Infamous movies to charity???

STFU troll.

[Masterchef2007]

Didn't they say there wouldn't be a halo movie? I remember a Peter Jackson fiasco over the subject

[poopoojames]

pretty much because Jackson wanted Adam Sandler to play Masterchief and there was a big fall out over it.

[gamerdude132]

As long as Sandler didn't talk, I don't see a problem with it. It's only because he's a good person to work with, as the people that he HAS worked with have said.

[poopoojames]

I think that was the issue though, the fact that he would be the voice of the chief making the cheesy jokes we hear in Halo 3.

[Active Reload]

Adam Sandler? WTF, lol!

[Der_Kommandant]

Based on historical events

[Tron_Rocks]

Halo could be a truly awesome movie! As Would Gears of War..

All you Sony Trolls here need to STFU get out and go get a life as this story has nothing to do with you and your overpriced bluray player!

[poopoojames]

Gears of War would have about as much depth as starship troopers.

[DiRtY]

Michal Bay would be better for a Gears of War movie.

Peter Jackson could do Halo.

Steven Spielberg Alan Wake

[SuperStrokey1123]

Yeah... i hope not...

[m23]

Neil Blomkamp should direct it, District 9 was awesome as well as all those Halo shorts. And all those props by Wingnut are phenomenal.

[coldfoot]

I'd much rather have a Black Ops movie, since I really enjoyed the story and the plot in the game. It wouldn't have the silly bright color aliens and would appeal to a broader audience IMHO.

[Shevath]

Neil Blomkamp FTW!!!
