Halo movie, set budget to big!

you know, they could show faces of the other SPARTANs, assuming they are in the movie. That we Vin Diesel can be, say, Fred. Bungie has said that they don't want to show the MC's face, so this probably won't change.

I'm thinking the intro should be like a halo pre-mission cutscene, just to acknowledge the gamers.

As for plot... First Strike would make an awesome movie, in my opinion.

Who need's Vin diesel when you have Samuel Jackson as Sarge

(Is his role confirmed?).

Hope they take a lesson from the Dredd movie and leave the chiefs face out of it.

Samuel Jackson as Sarge? How about NO.

Ehm, why not?.
He seems to me like the perfect actor for the role, Vin Diesel isnt even in the same league of Nastiest SOB.

Sarge and Samuel L Jackson are completely different people. SLJ is badass because he wants to be. Sarge is badass because he has to be.

There's just a different quality about Sarge that is unique.

In other words, it's not Doom. So I'd prefer that the folks doing Halo paid as little attention to it as possible.

Heheh Penny-Arcade: the Metroid movie about a bunch of baseball players who learn the true meaning of Christmas from a robot cowboy angel.

Sarge is like a Black R. Lee Ermey

So, you'd need so,ebody who can fill that role pretty good.

I nominate the sergeant from Aliens, if he's still combat-able.

Hell, come to think of it, Johnson is like that sergent cranked up to 11.

What? Samuel L. "Motherfucking" Jackson would be perfect!

Although....now that I think about it...

No....Goddammit. They made Sgt. Johnson too much like GODDAMNED SGT. APONE, and Al MAtthews is 61 years old! SHIT! there's no good mean-ass hard-looking black actors anymore! They're all fucking pretty boys like Tae Diggs and shit! Fuck fuck fuck! I was tempted to say Damon Wayans, as Sam Jackson just doesn't say Gunny to me...but NEITHER DOES DAMON WAYANS! That tears it, goddammit, Sgt. Johnson is going CGI.

Leave the Chief team alone, they need to concentrate on him
(Do you want those Hollywood imbeciles to have an excuse to yank him out of his suit?)

George Lucas should come to the rescue. A few desperate Star Wars/Halo fans close to him will addict him to Halo and then tell him that Hollywood wants to fuck it up. He will jump up and go to MS and say "Why didn't you call me in the first place. I'll do the Fall of Reach as a movie. It will take me 3 years but it will be kick ass and be release along with Halo 3"

So you resurrect a 2 month old thread with a post of zero redeemable value, why?

You must love yourself pretty good. As such you no longer deserve a dignified answer.
