Halo movie script info and review

SFOSOK · Nov 7, 2005, 09:58 AM

Yes folks, we at Latinoreview got ourselves the multimillion-dollar script of Halo by Alex Garland! I had to pull some Sam Fisher Splinter Cell moves to get it – but we got it. Let’s see, they paid Alex Garland $1 million bucks to write it, they sold it to Universal and Fox for $5 million bucks plus 10 percent of the gross. And they gave a seven-figure deal to both Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh to exec produce the movie. A $10 million dollar script – at least. Wow. The question: Is the script any good? My answer?

Hell yeah, baby! This script rocks man. The script is so damn good and entertaining that I read it more than once. A tour de force. The clowns at the other studios who passed on this are gonna lose their jobs when this movie comes out and opens huge. Whoever at the other studios thought that this script wasn’t up to snuff can kiss my ass. Idiots. You think Peter Jackson is going to get involved with a property if the script royally sucked?! I think not.

Wouldn't it be really funny if this movie tanks when it comes out?

Earthsiege · Nov 7, 2005, 03:51 PM

I know that no matter what, I'm still going to see it :P

I bet its gonna suck, they all do. I would love to see a memorable movie based on a game, but I don't think I'll see it soon.

MiDri · Nov 7, 2005, 04:51 PM

Now if they could only harness the 15 seconds of fun that halo revolves around in the movie... I just do not see that happening...

hope its better the the doom movie *blank,serious look on face*

g35x · Nov 8, 2005, 01:53 AM

so is that really real???

pr0digal jenius · Nov 8, 2005, 03:32 AM

oh yes, it's real.....i'd expect a halo 4/halo movie simul-launch if I were a betting man, actually.

And with peter jackson at the helm it is gauranteed to atleast be worth a rent

MiDri · Nov 8, 2005, 06:25 AM

Will not be worth its cup of beans if the rock is not the master chief! [/sarcasm]

pr0digal jenius · Nov 8, 2005, 06:44 AM

i think MC should be CG

Master Shake · Nov 8, 2005, 06:51 AM

Who do you think should play Master Chief?

LuCifer · Nov 8, 2005, 06:56 AM

IMO Hopefully it doesnt suck like.. Doom..

If they follow the script, get no name actors(but good actors who are out to prove they can act), follow the script, and the strict bunji Bible, there is no reason why this should not be a killer movie. It has to be Rated R, if it is not I will not even make an attempt to see it. If any of you have read the books and the part sof the script listed we pretty much have before Halo and Halo 1 in a single movie. This movie needs to have a very intense battle scenes like something similar to Saving Private Ryan and the sort. There is no reason that this movie should not be great, unless the director puts a hobit in for good measure : ).

Right on.

pr0digal jenius · Nov 8, 2005, 06:05 PM

the no name actors is a good idea, but I think that a big name actor who isnt some overhyped punk wanting a wad of cash would do well too.

Christian Bale, Edward Norton, Morgan Freeman are all such actors(although i'm not reccomending them for this role...lol)

As for battle scenes, they had better be hella cool, but having seen Two Towers and Return fo the King, I have no doubt in my mind jackson is the man for the job. I do think that the use of CG will make or break this movie though.

Let's hope it rules

One of the potential first good game movies.
