jUST MAKE fucking Halo!

!

Tintin was the best "A boy and his dog solving mysteries" comic that I can remember reading as a kid. It was part Indiana Jones, part Scooby-doo (if only for the personified dog, but not half as goofy), part Hardy Boys, and part Huckleberry Fin.

An ensemble supporting cast of quirky reoccurring characters gave it an odd Tim Burton/David Lynch meets Archie comics feel. Smart, but way fun for kids.

I wonder when we'll see an Asterix movie?

Not to hijack the thread, but whatever happened to the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers movie?

Fuck yes!

This is as it should be. I hope "District 9" kicks some ass.

Except that's EXACTLY the problem. Hollywood DOES love its money -- which is exactly WHY the Halo deal imploded. Because Microsoft and Bungie were demanding too big of a piece of the pie upfront AND on the backend, to the point that even when Halo was going to be a two studio co-production to help offset costs they BOTH still walked away from the table, basically willing to tell Bill Gates, Microsoft, Bungie, Jackson et al "Screw it. It may be a big game, but there's no way you're making this economically feasible for us."

So frankly its BECAUSE of it's gross to date that a Halo movie hasn't happened. And after the zillions that HALO 3 raked in, you can bet that right now Microsoft and Bungie are still willing to hold firm on what they want, even though that only forces Hollywood to stand by its guns as well.
