| true_fan said: Is this really a question, Uncharted isn't even a mainstream game. The WORLD knows who Master Chief is and only gamers knows who Nathan Drake is. According to this site, Uncharted doesn't even have a game that reaches 7 million in sales, that would put it 3rd on XBOX behind Halo and Gears. Not to mention Halo has Forwars Unto Dawn and Red vs. Blue on Netflix and tens of millions of views on youtube. |
Forward unto Dawn was a crappy clusterfuck...
Also, please dont confuse movie fans with video game fans. Could they be both? yes, but you have to realise, if the Halo movie is bad, it would hurt the movie badly because Halo is a scifi. Uncharted has the advantage of being a lot more grounded and more believeable. It is more easier to make an Uncharted movie work than a Halo movie. Production cost etc... ALso, because of Master Chief's facelessness who would the story be about actually? If it is about John117, it wouldnt work staring at his helmet for 2 hours also, he cant keep taking his helmet off because, that just not what he does . If the movie is about a recruit or someone else, people will complain that the movie as absolutely nothing to do with the Lore or isnt about a character we care about. A Halo movie must be very unique in all sense to work well and fall in line with the established mythos. That is a very huge risk for MS or any studio. Also, because Nathan Drake is a real person; he is handsome, witty, charming and as a lot more personality in his left pinky than John 117 in his entire body (love him though), I can see the likelihood for an Uncharted movie than a Halo movie. John is too stoic a character for any movie. His scenes in Forward unto Dawn were just plain awkward when he wasnt kicking ass.
Now if the Halo movie's cinematography was anything like Halo: Landfall, It just might work.
