The Official Halo thread!

i never saw it as that....

maybe only because when you shoot someone theres a couple of drops of blood, and because politicians are all gun crazy or w/e...

but its no mortal kombat(game)
 
Shame. I'm hoping it will be made eventually. :(
 
Well maybe with Halo 3 breaking all entertainment sales records, then studios will see the potential for a movie.
 
If the most successful game in history can't get a movie made of it then what chance has any of the other games got?

Hope we get some more Blomkamp shorts though....

There's also some mild language in all the of games' campaign modes, but I agree with you that the Halo games don't seem very R-rated when compared to other mature games. It just sounds like Blomkamp was going for R.

i thought mario was far and away the most successful?

nah the blumkamp vids were no more violent than live free or die hard
 
When the property has an install base as huge as Halo does, they can afford to do that. They'd get their money back.
 
Final Fantasy wasn't a mature rated series and the movie was Rated PG-13. It didn't make any money because it sucked. Plain and simple.
 
stil does'nt remove the fact that no studio will take a risk like that...can you ensure the "awesomeness" of halo? and don't bring up taht instal base **** by that standard, the RE movies,and final fantasy should've made huge ass numbers.
 
At least the WETA shorts were amazing, that's all I really needed to see, lol. They even put the first aid kit wound foam in there! It's a shame I won't get to catch it on an IMAX screen but hey, I'll take what's given.

As for Final Fantasy, I loved that movie. :o

And yeah, the Halo games are passively violent. When you're adapting the universe to real life though... the Spiker for example will actually be impaling.

yeah but "getting all the money back" is NOTHING!.... you MUST get over the budget...

R would cut their profits in half...lol
 
Naw. You guys make it sound like every theater ID checks. I can see them making a profit on this movie if they do it right. Watch the WETA shorts. Those wouldn't only appeal to Halo fans, I'm pretty sure it'd get a good reception from other crowds.
 
There's this awesome black girl who works at the theatre who never checks my ID cause she knows I just look young but her *****y white co-worker always makes me show ID and then I always leave it at my house. ****ing cracker. :cmad:

No games in either one of those series made $170 million in one day. They're popular franchises, no doubt, but on the same level as Halo? Not really. The only franchise that eclipses Halo in this day and age is Mario.

And you're all acting like R rated movies don't make money, and that's just preposterous. 300, the Terminator movies, The Passion of the Christ, the Matrix movies and so many others have been huge box office successes.
