Halo Movie Casting Call - Who Should Play Master Chief, Cortana, Arbiter?

Gamepro writes, "When making a movie based on a pre-established property, you're always going to have disappointed fans. It doesn't matter how loyal you are to the source material, fanboys will always whine and moan about every little detail. The key is to stop caring about those people. While look and, to a lesser extent, voice went into my casting decisions, I also put a heavy focus on acting ability. I'm also a huge fan of the old adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", so in my dream Halo movie, I would keep a lot of the fantastic voice actors from the games. But in the spirit of Hollywood, I've thrown in some bigger names that could fit the roles as well. That said, hit the Read link to see my casting choices for the Halo movie."

Who plays him, the dude wears his bloody helmet all the time anyway!

they use the guy's voice from the game for the movie.

They need to use all unknown people. This movie will make whoever acts in it an overnight sensation. (sort of like the Harry Potter cast) Maybe throw in a few of the Bungie staff. Us gamers would get a kick out of finding the staff through out the film.

besides video game movies are almost always an abomination. There are a few exceptions but very few and I highly doubt this movie will be one of them.

Maybe they can't see your face, but they can still hear you. They still need the right actor to portray the voice and deliver the lines right.

The Chief of Mjolnir6354d ago

Well, I doubt about Steve Downs. (The guy who makes Master Chiefs voice)

It would be fun if Cortana was played by Angelina Joile.

dachiefsman6354d ago

personally I would like them to do what they did for vader....let the guy in the game do the voice and a big fella play master chief in the suit....same thing for the Arbiter<the actor will have some sort of mask on>....

Why Dark Souls 2 Deserves a Second Chance in 2025

As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.

Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.

And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.

I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.

Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.

Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.

Completely fair. I cannot disagree either, mate.

You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.

It’s not a bad game it’s just not as good as the others

Shadow Man20h ago

The controls felt very clunky to me, I tried playing it after beating Darksouls 3 and it didn’t feel fluid, obviously the hit detection is less superior for been an older game.

Best skateboarding game ever made

Yi-Long1d 2h ago

Agreed. Skate 3, Def Jam FFNY, Black, Burnout 3, NBA Street v3, TimeSplitters FP, SSX3, Mirror’s Edge, etc etc. Fantastic era, and after that EA just dropped off completely.
