This is so lame by jimmy_009	Aug 11th, 2008 10:49:13 PM
Looks like a bunch of Poser models. They should have strayed from the weak original Halo concept designs. This looks boring.
Looks boring. But the games never did it for me by SpencerTrilby	Aug 11th, 2008 10:53:18 PM
I'd probably be hyped if I was the heart of the marketing target. But the fact that a Stuart Beattie written, PJ produced sci-fi flick doesn't give me a boner the size of Las Vegas' Stratosphere tower is indeed worrying. Not for my dong, that is.
TheDudeintheShadows by QuandraX	Aug 11th, 2008 11:02:30 PM
Imagine how I felt. Blomkamp is Irish for FIRST!
YES PLEASE! by PirateEmery	Aug 11th, 2008 11:06:31 PM
I'll have an order of that... I'm looking at you, Hollywood. You like to do this adaptation kind of shit. Do this. Please.
Sorry that looks awful by Darth_Inedible	Aug 11th, 2008 11:50:00 PM
Maybe it's out of context or something but it reminds me of mid '90s cutscene art.
Darth_Inedible by PirateEmery	Aug 12th, 2008 12:02:03 AM
Yes, if you haven't read the book, you wouldn't have an idea what the scene is about. This scene (with the Spart-tots training) should only be several minutes long and acts as our first introduction to John-117. In no way does the concept art represent the scene, as it is a more stylized shot from the perspective of the bottom most rung of a ladder.
The Halo Series, Summed Up by nascentia	Aug 12th, 2008 01:34:28 AM
Halo 1: Fun, but very repetitive with shit level design. Halo 2: The opening levels on Earth were fucking amazing. Everything after that was utter shit, and I couldn't wait for the game to be over. Halo 3: Pretty fucking awesome, except for the impossible Flood level.
Dammit! Make this movie. That is just how by SID 8.0	Aug 12th, 2008 03:39:21 AM
I pictured the selection sequence looking.
GaspsHalo 3 actually lived up to the hype. by Stalkeye	Aug 12th, 2008 04:00:13 AM
same goes for Bioshock and I usually hate FPS, but game of the year? i don't think so. And master cheif is too fucking one dimensional, what a boring ass character.How are they gonna make him come to life in this movie is beyond me.
Pillar of Autumn, in my pants! by Caerdwyn	Aug 12th, 2008 06:20:06 AM
Wow. They're finally making the sequel to Soldier! Get Kurt on the phone. Just kidding, though Master Chief is about as wooden a character as Todd, but for a pinch of sarcasm. When it comes down to it though, Master Chief's part of the scenery... as long as they show explosions and good ol' MC blowing up some Covies, this will make bank. Bonus points if they add some human characters worth caring about and a quality storyline, and if they use more of "Fall of Reach" than the title alone.
Damn You Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	Aug 12th, 2008 06:47:17 AM
Damn You Michael Bay
Am I the only one who reads it as... by Kurgan	Aug 12th, 2008 07:04:50 AM
Halo: Fall of the Reich? :P
Master Cheif and One Dimensional. by Laughing Irishman	Aug 12th, 2008 07:14:30 AM
Again, i've said it before, if the do Halo: Fall of Reach it will not be one dimensional. It is very Enders Game-ish. Child prodigies being raised to be the super soldiers, Spartan 117(Master Chief)is run through the gamet(sp?) during his childhood and is trained and honed to be the perfect soldier/weapon. The book was done quite well and the movie could be phenomenal, if, and it's a big if, the studios leave it alone and let the book be filmed. You know what I mean. Riiight?
Looking forward to this flick, BIG TIME. by JDanielP	Aug 12th, 2008 08:02:11 AM
Heck, after TRANSFORMERS, I'd even be okay with Michael Bay! (ha!)
Master Chief = better origin than Darth Vader. by JDanielP	Aug 12th, 2008 08:06:49 AM
That is as it should be.
meh by DanboJohnJ	Aug 12th, 2008 08:59:23 AM
who cares,overrated franchise,gimmie a call of duty 4 film now .
Doctor Zoidberg: Understanding by mbeemer	Aug 12th, 2008 09:01:21 AM
"Don't understand the love for a faceless/souless main character" It's precisely because he's faceless - that allows the player to BECOME him. His success is their success; rooting for him is rooting for themselves. Oldest trick in the book.
the top pic on that page by cpt. tim	Aug 12th, 2008 09:44:12 AM
has been around forever. unless that concept art is a year or two old, they just scrounged the internet for some halo renders by fans.
Perspective? by FatherMcGruderKicksAssForTheLord	Aug 12th, 2008 10:01:18 AM
Is it just me, or is the perspective in that pic about 75% off? It looks like the kids training in the "distance" are about 1" tall. And, why is the one commander or whatever semi-transparent? This could be fan art, if it weren't being C & D'd by M$. BTW, way to go toe-to-toe with the big boys, Latino Review.
Ugh... PLEASE don't make a MOVIE of that crummy book... by kiddae	Aug 12th, 2008 10:46:16 AM
All those novelizations are unreadable. Patton Oswalt's Star Wars bit pretty much sums it up. I know nobody would fund a Blomkamp-helmed version, but Peter Jackson hasn't officially dropped out, has he? There's still hope, ain't there?
thanks for linking us to fan art for Halo, guys by ArcadianDS	Aug 12th, 2008 11:16:53 AM
hopefully you'll have some news about movies coming soon.
Neill Blomkamp by EasyEastCoast	Aug 12th, 2008 02:28:08 PM
No Neill Blomkamp No Care
Paul Michael Glaser by Laughing Irishman	Aug 12th, 2008 03:23:29 PM
Should make this, hell yeah.
Dr. Zoidberg by ltgalloway	Aug 12th, 2008 04:37:26 PM
You dont understand the appeal of Bobba Fett then?
Boba Fett... by alienindisguise	Aug 12th, 2008 05:20:19 PM
kicked ass because none of the films were built around him. He wasn't overdone and, yes, Master Chief would be way boring to watch for 2 hours and I'm sure he'd have the gay Batman constipation voice. Pass
After the awesome vision of Blomkamp's promos by KillaKane	Aug 12th, 2008 08:11:17 PM
this kind of lack lustre (bland) pre-prod art does'nt really instill much confidence. Who's attached to direct this movie anyway? Criminal that Jackson/Blomkamp's take did'nt get the financing it deserved.
I'm embargoing this movie by zooch	Aug 12th, 2008 10:02:26 PM
without even seeing it. Blomkamp or no one.
