Halo Movie too pricey for Studio!

[Upset Spideyfan]

Halo is barely a Mature though. It could have been a Teen with a little less blood.



But I don't care if they make a Halo movie or not. I never thought the stories in the games were exceptionally good for video game stories.

Quite right.

There's only a few and I mean a FEW games with stories that can be translated well to the big screen.

Halo, and most games for that matter are pretty cliche when you get right down to it. Masterchief is barely an actual character and I think all the stuff with the Covenant, the Flood, etc. would just end up flying over the heads of the general audience.

It'd make money, but if I were a studio I'd be hesitant before dumping hundreds of millions into this project. Especially if it ends up being rated R which it doesn't really need to be, Halo is a soft M-rated game.

Yeah the stories were kind of hollow and cliche. Now a "Far Cry" movie could be tremendous.

I posted this in the MS games thread, too.

THANK GOD FOX BACKED OUT! A shame for Universal, though.

Uwe Boll strikes again.

I don't think it will make a good movie anyway. It's a shooter. Very few video games I think have the potential to be good movies. And then when they do have a franchise ripe for that potential (Resident Evil especially 1 and 2 for the record?) they **** it up BIG TIME.

Sure Jackson is producing but I dunno. He is just making sure it gets made and he sees some of the moolah. It will be made most likely for either a cheaper price or with a PG-13 but it will be made. However, I expect another mediocre movie with a few things in there for fans of the game (like Silent Hill).

Now Zelda on the other hand though....

Zelda... Zelda's a better game than Halo, of course. It is also one of the most important and influential video game serie of all time. But it is ALL about gameplay. I mean, it's nintendo, the king of gameplay.

Miyamoto took one of the most well know story concept (princess gets kidnapped by evil sorcerer, and young hero must fight to save her) and reinvented gameplay back then.

But how many movies like this has there already been ? Same problem a mario movie would have faced.... wait, that's already a given.

I still want a Soul Calibur movie.
