Nathan's realtionships with his mentor Sully and his off and one girlfriend while being chased by baddies after an ancient artfact. Sure it sound generic but if done right it will work...not every movie goer understands or even knows anything about halo. the studio will have to win them over to the story and overview first before anything else. Protagoinst can definitely not be Master Chief. unless through the divine power of supreme script writing can John be the protagonist and the movie still works...

I agree with you completely here. Any generic story can become interesting in the right hands and every interesting story can become horrible in the wrong hands. Also, a movie cannot rely on Master Chief, since he is part of the saga, not the saga in itself. It must rely on other spartans, humans or the likes, characters where the personality can shine (maybe focus on a female Spartan?).

Correct..now the problem with that is how can MS do all that and still keep Halo fan still interested. we all know how frickle game fans can be if a movie adaptation on a game isnt consistent with game lore...Xbox fans definitely dont play with their beloved Halo.

Give it to Neill Blomkamp, he can make it work, I am sure of it :).
