Thats not a TV spot, thats an IGN original.

Never-the-less, it is pure awesome.

Are you saying IGN funded this?  For what purpose would that be?

I dunno, you think Bungie or MS will let IGN make the TV ads?

Even if it IS that awesome?

IGN wouldn't have made it :S They've probably secured the exclusivity on the trailer's premiere.

They were merely speaking of teasing people about something upcoming.  They were saying that Bungie wasn't the one teasing, they were.  There is no way in hell that IGN created or funded this.  That would be the biggest waste of money for them ever. This is a MS funded advertisement.  Most likey this is the short one that will play on tv.  There is a longer one coming that will likely play during the digital commercials in front of movies.

IGN were the ones who unveiled the trailer, doesnt mean they were the ones who produced it, its evidently made by the same company which did the Halo 3 :believe ads, for microsoft.

That was so amazing. This makes me want a Halo movie so bad. Peter Jackson and Niel Blomkamp why did you abandon us :(

That was better than most movie trailers, damn im speechless

 

Universal and Fox did, not Peter Jackson and Niel Blomkamp.

I think it's for the same reason the distributor of District 9 is Sony Pictures.

 


Yea something over financial arguments which is really stupid since a Halo movie made to a high standard like this short or District 9 would do so well at the box office.

All I know is I want a good Halo movie badly, I'm just not sure about Steven Spielberg being involved. If he can recapture the brilliance of his earlier movies like Saving Private Ryan and doesn't sell out like he did with Indiana Jones then I think it could be great.

I hope theres no substance to that rumour whatsoever, I think that if there is to be a Halo film, it should be based on Halo :CE, not the fall of reach or anything else. The story of Halo: CE is what popularised the series, after all.

Have you read the fall of reach? I thought it was an amazing book and would translate into a movie far better than Halo:CE. The first game had long stretches where you didn't interact with anyone but the covenant and flood which would obviously not make for a compelling movie script. On the other hand the fall of reach had a story with multiple strong characters and really did a lot to show the extreme training spartans went through. A ODST based movie would also be interesting since they would be able to relate the humanity and horrors of the war very well through a normal soldiers eyes.

@Carl

I read some where that it was made by the same guys that did the Halo 3 believe adds but that may be wrong.

That was cool but why did they sing in Russian or something?


There are still different races of humans and not everyone speaks English in the Halo Universe.
