Why dont Microsoft create there own Studio just for Halo. They would have enough money to fund such an project. and an series wouldn't be that great. 

But an movie on the first game is where to start. 3 hours max but in that time you can get all the great set pieces needed for such an movie. and it would be an smash. 

I liked the first halo, tho i never past the last mission its an great story. 

I thought about this before.

They should create a partnership with universal or Warner Brothers IMO. MS pays the porduction costs, Universal produces the movie, MS will get 90% of the money / Universal gets 10%. Win/Win.

Once they realise this works for both sides, it will be much easier for future projects.
An Alan Wake movie would be awesome.

I don't get why Sony uses both - gaming and movie division. Make a blockbuster Uncharted movie, bundle it with PS3 and game would be a nice start. Create deep franchises in a big universe and make it a trilogy, which people love and will go NUTS for the next one (lord of the rings, matrix, Star Wars, Avatar) and make the games for it as well. Both have to be big budget AAA-productions.

And you could reduce marketing costs if you can advertise both, new movie and a new game.

Sony is using Sony Pictures/Colombia Pictures to make an uncharted movie. the director has been chosen and the project is green lighted, right now an script is being made and soon will be casting. expect filming by early next year and either an 2011 holiday's release along side Uncharted 3 (perfect timing really, and i believe Sony wants that to happen). or an 2012 hit. either way i hope its good and they use good actor for Nathan Drake because an Uncharted 2 movie would be epic.
