    This concept art is looking completely uninspired and boring. Oh my god, a piece of art that looks like it's from the game. So?

    But Halo wasn't much. It has a lame sci-fi story, lame weapons, and basically it's only saving grace was multi-player, which I didn't think was that great. Really, the only thing I liked about Halo were the Red vs. Blue shows. I can't imagine making a movie based on this. It was a well-made regular FPS, get over it. And please, do not make a movie.

    If any one in his school ever finds that video, he is fucked. I just know if I was still in 8th grade and I saw a classmate doing that shit, things would south for him pretty rapidly. The best is when he keeps going down on one knee like he is crouching with his battle rifle. Who spends time making paper mache pistols that actually reload? And then shows it to the whole world?

    the first piece was shittier than in game graphics from the original game, the second piece was definitely fan art that has been sitting in a wallpapers folder on my hard drive for 2 years.

    and you actually can claim that this is 3rd example with a straight face.

    You realize theres enough halo fan renders out there for latino review to release exclusives once a day for the next 20 years right?

    You might as well say the cardboard nerd is their prop guy and that anyone who fires up the game is auditioning.

    Him making the weapons with such detail shows future talent. The rocket launcher creation was very well done. But wearing the suit and mimic the movement of the game... He has to cut that shit out. I hope he doesn't turn into a future school shooter and just stays nerdy. Sadly for him though the last vagina he'll ever see is the one he crawled out of when he was born.

    Coming from a professional concept artist..

    by playkins

    There is NO WAY that is real concept art. I'll give you three reasons:
    A)There are ALL KINDS of rookie art mistakes on that piece- tangents, poor composition, the same photo elements used over and over, etc...
    B)Where's the design? I can tell you for certifiable fact that not ONE copncept artist would ever just recycle the designs from the game like that. Either the director would want a change, or the artist would put his own stamp on it. Any "Halo" movie, I'm sorry to say, will NOT look just like the game. See: Transformers for a perfect example of the changes directors like to make.
    C)I know a LOT of concept artists, and that signature is NOT one I recognize. I highly, HIGHLY doubt they'd go with a concept artist either that new or unexperienced for a project as big as Halo.

    Take it or leave it, but I'm 100% POSITIVE all of those are fan-art.

    The Halo Kid is just awesome. He is very passionate about realizing an imaginary universe and sharing his enthusiasm. Not only will he go far, he will get laid by women who are hotter than the molten discharge from a RPG round -cuz he obviously has a good sense of humor about himself.

    by scuzzy

    I stand with my fellow asshole talkbackers. I yawned at this story the first time and now, more probably fake concept art from a movie that never had a chance of getting past a "proposal" phase and will definitely never see the light of day. WHY is this news? At least if you could prove the validity of the source of the art itself MAYBE you could justify it, but no one gives a shit. And I say that as someone who played and enjoyed the HALO series. Good games. Absolutely no interest whatsoever in seeing a movie about it.

    If every piece of concept art (even VALID) from every movie ever proposed were put on a website, there wouldn't be a server with enough storage to host it.

    by slugbat

    Faceless hordes of Starcraft marine clones vs. generic alien menace. No way to make this a success on film.
    And by the way, I was obsessed with guns as a kid, like McLovin' there. I never shot up a school (but I wanted to -- ed. note: jk). I went to school for Industrial Design, focused on prop design...This kid is going places. He has a good understanding of scale and dimension, as well as a real mechanical intuitiveness. Most kids his age would just draw a gun, out of scale, on a cardboard cutout, and run around the house making "pyoo-pyoo" sounds.

    by the1980mutant

    Its CONCEPT Art, it doesn't have to look good, look at some other films' concept art, it is supposed to be VERY rough to give you an idea of what kind of scenes you are seeing, if this was the Poster Art I might be a little worried. I do agree though they should have kept with the BlomKampf/Jackson scenario - they are idiots for mucking that up. As for the Halo kid, ....at his age,who didn't imagining they were their favorite character such as Gi.Joe or whatever. At least he's not sitting around all day stuffing his face with chocolate and playing the damn game 12 hours a day. It looks like he took a lot of initiative to design all those cardboard weapons, I doubt most of us did anything that cool when we were kids or at the least that precise with the character. I bet he runs around the neighborhood with all his friends with that stuff. I would.

    I get to be Lt. Falcon!! Ha. Actually, I was dying laughing at the guy who was ripping Halo Kid McLovin' for using packing tape. We are a cranky, acerbic bunch here at AICN, aren't we? I can imagine that guy just destroying his son for childish execution of art projects when he's 8 years old and shit. Hurling Comic Book Guy saracastic quips at his innocent, inquisitive kid who hasn't quite learned yet how cynical one has to be to make it through the day in this cruel world(or least in an AICN TB). But that said, truly laughed out loud at "Something Wicked This Way Crinkles." "Back to the drawing board, kid! Who designed your shit? Snap Crinkle Pop? You suck! Get the fuck outta my house!"

    That ad was a miniature diorama, while the concept art is clearly a digital painting. It's a very similar scene, yes, but I think even the Elite holding up a fallen soldier/Spartan goes back to the first Halo Wars trailer. Probably earlier.
