Forums - Microsoft - Halo Movie Cancelled???

What? They cancelled the Halo movie? How could they? Halo to movies could be Star Wars to video games, meaning that it could be good as a movie, like it is good as a game. First Bungie leaves Microsoft, and now this? Why? I want my Halo movie!

last thing i heard was that they were in need of a director/ writer and that fox (or universal---cant 'member) pulled out because of the rising costs. Now its in development hell. i do hope they make a movie out of it and maybe someday nintendo will follow with a Zelda movie--with orlando bloom as link :)
haha

Uwe Boll must be busy butchering another franchise. 



This happened ages ago...

 Did you see the Super Mario Bros movie? or The Spirits Within? or the Doom movie? Usually video game movies are pretty awful with the notable exception of Silent Hill.

Yes this did happen a long time ago I heard this like a year ago



Love is whats most important.

 

Year... Ago? I didn't even know there was going to be a Halo movie to begin with until just a few months ago. You heard it was "cancelled" a year ago? Man, where have I been?



No harm done, it would have sucked anyway :D



Beware, I live!
I am Sinistar!
Beware, coward!
I hunger!
Roaaaaaaaaaar!

 

 

 At least 62 million Wii sold by the end of 09 or my mario avatar will get sad

Video game movies suck almost by definition. Good riddance.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

Just be glad that Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" is in pre-production, and that Warcraft is in cinemas in 2009.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS
