$100-200 million is nothing to them, and in ten years Halo's gonna be irrelevant. They've been blue balling us for twenty years now and their console is dying
>>221394882because they are both boring games with boring lores
>>221394882>Halo's gonna be irrelevantalready is
>>221394882Did you see the halo TV show? What makes you think anyone in a position of authority anywhere near Hollywood or Microsoft is capable of making an even semi decent adaptation of either franchise?
management don't want moviesthey want tv shows to sell streaming subscriptions
>>221394882Because they could put that 200 million in an index fund and make more.
Halo is not popular anymore
>>221394882Microsoft is angry at 343. They've done nothing but fumble Halo for 15 years. Bonnie Ross and Kiki Wolfkill were supposed to be in charge of making the Halo movie way back when but they *literally* did nothing for 12 years and then shit out the Halo TV series which everyone hated.So Microsoft is hesitant to give them another 200 million on top of what it's cost to make Campaign Evolved and whatever the next Halo game is.
>>221394993>>221394926Yeah, that's my whole point of making a movie. Is that the guys who grew up playing the games are right in the age where they can still milk the nostalgia? This would essentially be a hail mary attempt to make it relevant again
>>221394946/thread
>>221394882why would you want that? don't you remember the show? why would you want anyone to touch those things with modern audiences i nmind?
I would kill for a FEAR or a Condemned movie. Both games have such creepy lore.
>>221394882It would be interesting to see a Gears of War movie but I don't think there is a good cast for it
well I love halo (only 1-3 of course) but I wouldn't go and see some superhero slop halo movie and I wouldn't even torrent it
>>221395114All they really need to do is keep the boardroom from overthinking it. Find a young visionary director with momentum like Peter Jackson with LOTR and let him carry it. The idea that “we can’t make a good Halo movie” is crazy to me, because the material basically gives you the structure. Halo 1 isn’t some sprawling epic. It’s a small military mission that slowly turns into a horror movie. Any semi competant filmmaker should be able to handle it.
>>221394882>In 10 yearsHalo was irrelevant 10 years ago after 343 proved they'll never be able to make a single decent Halo game>Halo 4Everything wrong with Reach but without the good campaign to redeem it>Master Chief CollectionPerhaps the most broken collection of games ever made. It was borderline unplayable for the first 6 months, and I really do mean borderline unplayable, the game crashed almost every time you tried to play it, it STILL crashes regularly even today. Also, it's main selling point was that it was a collection of games 343 didn't make.>Halo 5I can only assume this was some kind of prank. Easily one of the worst games I've ever played in my life, they removed vehicles from the base game and stuck it in war mode, which was like if the idea of big team battle was created by jewish money lenders, all vehicles and most power weapons were turned into single use cards that you had to collect from loot boxes that they had for sale instead of just having the vehicles on the fucking map like an actual Halo game. I can't even tell you wtf was going on in the story for that game, all I know is that Cortana somehow turned evil and became like the emperor of the universe at the end of the game and it was so fucking stupid that I guess they just pretended 5 didn't happen by the time they made Infinite.>Halo InfiniteJust an embarrassing piss poor attempt at a Halo game. They made matchmaking free to play because they knew they had shit on the franchise so badly that nobody would ever bother trying it otherwise and their main way of making money from the game would disappear. Nobody stuck around anyway because it was dog shit. I never even bothered to play the story because I wasn't going to give 343 a single cent to experience another convoluted crucifixion of the Halo lore, but I've never heard anyone say anything truly positive about it, so I know I made the right choice.
>>221395188These stupid fucking niggers at 343, now known as Halo Studios are remaking Halo 1 AGAIN in UE5 and the game looks like if Halo was designed by the interior designers for Dave & Busters. There is no matchmaking and yet they're demanding you have to be connected to the internet to play local fucking split screen multiplayer. They're gonna be selling ugly bright pink cat ears fortnite skins for a remake of a game from 2001 that they're not even adding multiplayer for. Apparently there's some sort of subscription aspect to the game that I can't remember as well. I actually hope a muslim suicide bombs their headquarters and kills every single person there. Halo has been dead ever since 343 took control of it, I'm not even gonna talk about the TV show because who actually gives a fuck about that?
>>221394882No IP movies are good. Video game movies are all bad because nobody gives a shut about the source material and hollywood execs just use it as an opportunity to release a totally unrelated script that was already written because it's safer to tie it to a game IP because retards will watching it expecting it to be about the IP which honestly is fair because nobody would watch it if it wasnt.
>>221395188>>221395206I mean, I wouldn't say it's completely irrelevant though. It's just clearly mishandled, but there's still enough people who remember the good old days that a solid movie could revive the franchise.
>>221395144Mickey Rourke would have been a perfect Marcus Phoenix.
>>221395278He can be a Sire
>>221394882the tv show shows that it's currently impossible to do that.the entire industry is just completely infested with scum.
>>221395245I really don't think Halo would translate well as a movie, it's possible that it could be done but it would require the perfect environment with the perfect directing and the perfect cast. Hollywood's current state is the exact opposite of all of that, we've already seen what their idea of Halo is with the TV show and it's dog shit. The best thing that can happen to Halo now is for Microsoft to put it on the shelf for like 10 years and hopefully 10 years from now there's a better entertainment environment and people who care to make good games/movies again can come figuratively pull the chief out of cryo-stasis.
>>221395305Money grubbing producers who export all special effects to India even if their profits will be in the 100s of millions.
>>221394882>In ten years Halo's gonna be irrelevantHalo has already been irrelevant for nearly a decade. Like that series is well and truly done. I'm sure 343 will churn out another one at some point, but it's moot. and frankly, the Halo skeleton isn't all that compelling anyway. It was a cool trilogy and the desire to keep bringing it back just resulted in heartbreak for the fans.
>>221394882if it didn't happen when neil blomkamp (probably the only director who could do the series justice) was supposedly going to direct a movie, it will never happen. as others have said, halo is dead. it ruled the 2000s but were almost 20 years removed from then
>>221395206>they're not even adding multiplayer forHalo CE was released on PC with multiplayer. Remakes are nearly always creatively bankrupt shit, but in this case they're somehow delivering even less than the original.
because it would turn out like the show and current gameswoke garbage no one wants or likesthats why the IP is dead
>>221394882$100-200 million, but, in this market, they can only hope to break even.
>>221394882We haven't even gotten a good movie about his grand papi, what makes you think Master Chief's got a chance?>>221395116They're good games but asking for a vidya adaptation in the current year is a monkey's paw wish.
>>221395206dont forget cortana looks like tranny
>>2213948821. Halo was never good, one of the most overhyped shitstains in gaming2. Halo has been irrelevant for a long time now3. They tried to broaden Halo with the TV show, it sucked 4. Microsoft owns CoD now, Halo is useless to them
>>221395684>Halo was never goodJealous PS2 brownoid
Say what you will about Halo: Reach but it would make for a cool movie. Same with ODST, but it doesn't have Spartmans.
>>221395700I can't properly articulate how pathetic it is to console war for a generation that happened decades ago. KYS
>>221395737You were the one whining about a game you couldn't afford. Dumb resentful faggot.
>>221395684I wouldn't say it was never good. For the time, it was the best game in town as console shooters went. That's a low bar, but it did have some merit there.But it has always been far behind its contemporaries on PC. The enemy variety in Halo has never been high, and the enemies themselves are uninteresting. I don't know how you can play more than three games fighting the same two enemy types over and over without getting bored. The weapons - with the exception of the overpowered pistol - don't feel all that great to fire, either.
>>221394882it's a smart move honestly, the video game movie bubble is about to pop, it was a temporary fad
Rich Piana would have been the perfect Marcus Fenix.
>>221395797many such cases
>>221395780I would argue otherwise. N64 FPS games had far more interesting mechanics/level design and I'd put them above halo for that reason, despite their more primitive aiming/control schemes (Halo uses an insane amount of aim assist anyway). I'll play turok 1/2 or PD over halo anyday.
>>221394882The Halo movie was being made but Microsoft was too fucking retarded so they made District 9 instead
>>221395814To each their own but N64 shooters weren't really on the level that came even shortly after, with Half Life and Halo:CE. Goldeneye is a skeleton of what would later be improved upon in every way.
>>221395188Infinites campaign was decent, you missed out.Matchmaking was shit, could never get into it. I enjoyed Firefight though
>>221395845HL has interesting level design, halo does not. >GoldeneyeSignificantly better mechanics, level design and mission structure in comparison to halo
>>221395797Apparently he was on Malcom in the Middle and played a Gorilla in Planet of the Apes with Marky Mark. I had no idea until now.
because Halo in its essence is just Colonial Marines vs Predators / Evil Wookies / Evil Ewoks. good for a fun video game parody but too derivative for the big screen
>>221394913Halo has cool lore>advanced alien alliance who BTFO humans every time are on a religious quest to an hero the galaxy>kidnapped super soldier children save the day through bravery and badassery
>>221395887>tfw they haven't made an AvP game in over a decadeI weep
>>221396008At least they're making Isolation 2, hopefully it's not terrible
>>221394882Because it'd fucking suck, dude. Do you not remember the show they made? The people in charge of Halo do not like Halo, and Microsoft doesn't give enough of a fuck about what actually makes Halo great to vet people who do to helm the IP.You dumb brown roaches don't think before you ask these fucking questions. You recognize that Halo is irrelevant but somehow you don't seem to understand why or how it got to that point when it's obvious to ANYONE who looks even for two seconds.
>>221395955>retconned to have ancient humans fighting a war with forerunner for some reason>AI is now controlling forerunner tech and making all races submit >recon the AI being evil and now it's some faction of super strong Brutes or something gayThe lore sucks ass and has for like 15 years.
>>221396142Lore fags get the rope. Storytelling matters more than "is the wikipedia page interesting" go play 40k
>>221395206>There is no matchmaking and yet they're demanding you have to be connected to the internet to play local fucking split screen multiplayerSo glad Halo is in good hands. They can't even include basic features anymore.>>221395502It had server lobbies and mod support too. And it was still considered a bad PC port when it released in 2004.
>>221395797His face looks even more busted and unnatural than the literal game characters. Ugh.
>>221395427>hen neil blomkamp (probably the only director who could do the series justice)dude made one good movie>>221395427>halo is dead. it ruled the 2000s but were almost 20 years removed from thenLOTR trilogy was made 40 years after release. A good movie could revive the whole franchise. Happened with Star Wars too (prequels)
>oi most cuck you cortana and worship a non-binary azn girl boss
>>221394882>Why doesn't microsoft just drop a fucking Halo or Gearsmovie already?because video game stories, especially these two, can be summarized in a sentence. they aren't good. you think they are because you played them as a kid and they were the first taste of le marvel epic triumph level writing. not even the most talented writer and director can stretch a 10 minute story 1.5 hours.
>>221395015They'd have to follow up with either a good new game, or just admit they fucked up with Halo 4 and beyond and re-release the Bungie games in a form that people want to buy them for the third or fourth time or whatever it would be now.But this is all a moot point because they're not capable of making a good Halo movie.
>>221397203Fuck you, man. Gears of War 1 could make a crazy action horror film if done right.
>>221397231>>221397231>horror filmsee even you don't want to faitfhully adapt. the virgins would rip you apart.
>>221397344NTA but I can see it being made into a decent horror action film. I don't think it's necessary that video games be adapted into movies though, they have different strengths and weaknesses and it's fine to be confined to one medium.
>>221394882>people still want a halo movieToo late for anyone to believe it's anything but a desperate ploy to get eyes back on a dying franchise.They had all the chances in the world, but chose not to. Now sooner or later we will surely get one, but it will just be some slop tier cash in that still makes a shitload of money because retards will watch it anyway.
i liked the Halo TV show AMA
>>221397344Why? There are multiple scenes in Gears 1 that are horror adjacent. Especially the berserker sequences and those rainy industrial levels. It arguably is a horror game.
>>221394913Early Halo lore was just unintelliable aliens and bible references, it only got boring once autistic retards needed to make the blue aliens into space aliens Japanese and gave the omnicidal space horror spore-zombies quantum tunneling and a 1.000.000 year plan or something.
>>221394882Early halo could pass for a less grim inverted 40k where the xenos are the zealots and THAT would be fun if they had leaned into it instead of deciding to rape it
>>221396142If you're doing a movie, you KIND OF do what the Paramount show did. The foundation is Halo CE and 2 and maybe some of Nylund's writing work, you don't use the later 343 stuff. At least not to start off with
>>221396098>show gets maybe 3 big cool looking action setpieces in which to flex its effects budget per season, so the majority of episodes have little to no action and have a lot of boring filler You have to admit it would still at least be better if condensed down to a movie. A lot of the show's issues stem from the format and needing to stretch it out that long
>>221395316>I really don't think Halo would translate well as a movie,I'd watch the shit out of a John Wick style Halo movie where a guy in a green space suit shoots cg-aliens and his cute AI braindump girlfriend does computer stuff to point his visor at whatever aliens best to kill.
>>221395188I don't have any complaints with your points bar that I really don't think Reach is good. I think upon replaying it it's just that the multiplayer was so ass we had to have something. The characters are shallower than literal aliens knockoffs, the levels lack any mystery or spectacle, enemy variety sucks, level pacing is bad, and the story gets so much time but is still moving way too fucking fast. It's like someone sucked the wonder out of Halo and made it into a boring attempt at a documentary
>>221397473Master Chief would never do this to Cortana
>>221398722thats not cortana. thats alonzo keys, captain keys' tv show only son. yes, he's a trap. its not addressed at all. its part of the "world building" that traps are just normal and fucking them is normal. its also not addressed that all the "women" master chief fucks have dicks
>>221395188>it STILL crashes regularly even todaybullshitt. currently playing through the MCC
>>221397112halo is not LOTR
>>221395188Halo 5 is/was overall a lot better than you say. The only having vehicles in Warzone thing was fixed pretty soon after launch, with regular BTB added, guess you didn't stick around for that.The story isn't great but I still like the campaign a lot, because of the level design and variety Wish they hadn't abandoned it- it's the only main series Halo with no proper PC version and no current gen Series enhancements and where the matchmaking is now almost completely dead
>>221398828i blew up halo again this morning and the only problem im having is the transition sound on the menu is fucked so when you move up and down the game list, it makes a nasty blown out PJHUHF sound and it sounds horrible
>>221394882Insane isn't it. They have the infinite shekels. They have the infinite resources. Yet they will never make a good live action thing. They will always ruin it. Its like theres some Rothchilds worldwide deal in place where you get cash in your pocket at these billion dollar companies if you make bad product. There cant be any other reason.
>>221394913wtf movies have lore?
>>221399025Adaptations of games into movies or shows, or the other way around, tend to be better if they do a new original story in that universe and not directly adapting and mangling an existing story. You need lore for that
>>221399025everything has lore. people dont really understand this but lore goes DEEP preproduction on everything. we just get some of it in the final product.it should be obvious that when you write a story, you build the world around it but you dont tell it all to the consumer, only the parts relevant to the story. like in star wars. midichlorians and the sith and the wills and all that shit was ALL written from the very start and george never brought them up until they were relevant. people accuse him of pulling it out of his ass but its all og and existed before the first film even started production
Halo could have definitely been a cool movie franchise buuuut...they made the mistake of keeping Chiefs helmet off and the mistake of not keeping it focused on chief vs aliens. I'm sure they also tried to empower women also.
>>221399210>I'm sure they also tried to empower women alsoworse. master chief has an obese autistic trans brother he takes care of on earth. theres a bunch of scenes where he gives "her" sponge baths and tells him his job is to be a superhero
>>221394946This.>>221394882What everyone fails to understand, that I've only realised recently, is that the vision literally just isn't there. Best case scenario is that you get a design-by-committee story that tries to do a 1:1 adaptation of the game, resulting in a tonally weird film with poor pacing that feels like off-brand hollywood (Masters of the Universe is the sort of quality you could expect from this). In an absolute miracle example, your best possible outcome here is something like Mario where it's super safe and uncontroversial but also completely soulless and by-the-numbers.If you get a director who claims to be a fan and tries to auteur their way through it, expect the sort of story/lore changes that would make it barely resemble the franchise it's based on except for maybe some aesthetic choices if the producers come down hard enough.But most likely, you'd get a retard good ol' boy who they trust (someone like Simon Kinberg or Matthew Vaugn) or an up-and-comer nepo dipshit they can control who they like for their work on a bunch of shitty flops of recent (pick any unknown tv writer, preferably a white woman under the age of 35) who shits out an absolute dogshit embarrassment that displays clear contempt for the franchise and the people who enjoy it.
>>221395502I used to play the hell out of Halo CE on my laptop in middle school. It was great because half the time I'd be in a Blood Gulch lobby with no time limit and everyone was just fucking around on the map not even actually playing slayer or the objective, we'd all just be trying to do map glitches or some made up game or something instead. I miss when you could actually have fun in multiplayer games instead of casual mode being even sweatier than ranked mode like it is today.
>>221394926this. nobody 20 years old or younger gives a single fuck about halo and cant comprehend how big it used to be.
>>221395684>Halo was never good, one of the most overhyped shitstains in gaming
>>221395188>>221395206fuck. 343.
>>221399442to be fair, nobody 20 years or younger has particularly good taste either
>>221395015jfc anon you talk like an absolute moron faggotare you 12?
>>221399437>Blood GulchFuck. They should just a make a film of Red vs Blue (without any input from Roosterteeth)
>>221398828I started playing it again on the the series X about a month ago and every single day I have at least one instance where my game crashes trying to start up a match and then when I try to rejoin the match it just goes black for a minute and returns to the menu and asks me if I want to rejoin again or try to find a new match, which it then warns me might result in being banned for a few minutes for "quitting" a match I never even fully loaded into. This game has been out for 12 years and it's still the most broken piece of shit I've played since its release.
>>221394946The writers of the Halo tv show were chosen because they deliberately did not know anything about Halo, they were given a slideshow of "points" and told to make a TV show from there. HOWEVER at least one of the writers clearly wanted to make a Mass Effect TV show, but will never be given a chance.The utter bullshit of ignoring Sgt Avery Johnson completely and blackwashing Commander Keyes . . . ugh . . . modern Goywood politics.>>221394882If they wanted to make a decent Halo franchise on the screen they would have followed the Erik Nylund books too the fucking letter - the producers and above chose not too. Then 343 decided to stop listening to the fans and start making games for the "modern audience" that they thought would translate over from the "modern audience" for the TV show that didn't exist and now they've fucked the golden goose.Halo ended after Halo 3. ODST and Halo Wars get a pass. Everything beyond that in the franchise does not exist.
>>221399565>Halo ended after Halo 3. ODST and Halo Wars get a passReach is pretty good isn't it? I haven't played it in 15 years, but I remember liking it more than 3
>>221399499Who shit in your cheerios tough guy
Halo and Gears are uncslop games
>>221399613Okay I will openly admit I forgot about Reach - it gets a pass too. I've been drinking so bleh (also capcha can eat my entire almost 40 year old asshole)
>>221399464>"We had people who we hired who hated Halo because of 'X," says O'Connor. "But what that really meant was, I feel like this game could be awesome because of Y input' that I'm going to bring into it. I want to prove it, and I'm passionate about proving it.' So we ended up with a bunch of people who were genuinely passionate about the product. That is a huge advantage, and that helped in hiring and forming our team."This is genuinely one of the most baffling things any human being has ever said. Does Frank O'Connor have CTE or something?
>>221399649I'm still not installing Roblox kid
>>221399666blessed trips
>>221399647you talk like a naive moron who has no business discussing art or culture>lets spend 200m making an irrelevant franchise into a movie that'll totally work and make it relevant again!>halo tv show already exists and it's unwatchable>thinks current era hollywood would get it right this timeyou're a dope who should keep his retarded opinions to himself
>>221399708Oh really smart guy and who the fuck are you?
>>221399736someone who actually knows what they're talking about and can form actual coherent thoughts that aren't based on naive daydreams from emotionally stunted retards
>>221399765How do I even argue with you when you created some ridiculous fucking strawman in your head about how it would be executed in the shittiest way fucking possible? You wouldn't do a fucking goy slop $200 million version. You'd do a fucking grounded $80 to $100 million tight sci-fi horror movie. So sure, yeah, if you do it in the most retarded way imaginable, it would fail.I don't know why you're acting like that's the only way to do it, except that you're a dumb faggot who feels the need to get off on insulting people on the internet?
>>221397473
>>221399613Reach's story was great. The gunplay was kinda shit. The armor abilities being shoved in there as a new mechanic was also not a good addition. I still play some Reach MP but I think MP peaked with Halo 3.
>>221399795>I don't know why you're acting like that's the only way to do it,because there's objectively only one right way to do it, and you're not talented or interesting enough to even know where to start so you're lashing out like a woman and shrieking about how halo needs to be a >tight sci-fi horror filmyeah just throw cheif in the backrooms and call it a day, great idea retard lets get you to write and direct it too while we're at it, save even more moneyyou start monday, 9am sharp!
>>221399934What the fuck are you talking about lol you sound like an insane person
>>221399795not who you're arguing with, but you are delusional homie. Also, you don't understand what halo is, just like 343 never understood it. Halo is a war epic first and foremost, has always been a war epic. It may have horror aspects in it, but it is not a horror movie just like it wasn't a thriller or a love story like the show thought it was and 343 thinks it is.
>>221399981when you're an idiot I'm sure everyone smarter than you sounds insaneyou even did the whole cryface emoji picrel cope to try to save faceyikes!
>>221399995Are you guys just forgetting that Halo 1 essentially turns into a zombie movie towards the end? I'm talking about a stragiht adaptation of the original game trilogy>>221400017You call others immature then you just throw insults around like a 12 year old. Did mom not give you tendies today cretin?
>>221400038yeah, see this is where you show your hand that you're retarded. The game has horror aspects in it, but it is not those horror aspects, like I clearly said before. A straight adaptation of halo is literally a war epic you fucking retard.
>>221400038>You call others immature then you just throw insults around like a 12 year old.yeah because I'm actually cool and charming about it and you just kind come across as seething and weirdalso my ideas are good and yours are badare you going to keep trying to get one up on me or are you going to just admit you're completely out of your depth
>>221400078>>221399995this guy gets it we want big badass space opera action the flood sections aren't even horror, it's just a tonal shift with a new enemy that reddditors got spooked by and label it as 'horror' because they have no ability to regulate or observe their own emotions
>>221400081Yeah I'm not really gonna sweat your opinion because I'm pretty sure you look like pic related in real life >>221400078>>221400107Ok it would start as a war epic and turn into horror and end with an epic climax lik the game what's hard to understand about that? Why the fuck are you guys being so anal?
Can anyone sane explain to me what's so bad about this basic pitch?Movie starts as big badass space opera/military action, then the Flood reveal shifts it into survival horror/body-horror territory, then it ramps back into an epic action climax.
>>221400151because you still don't get it. It never turned into a horror story. It's not a horror story. If they actually did a show the way it should be, it would be 7 episodes of war epic with one random episode with some horror in it. You're the one being anal about something really stupid.
>>221400151>Ok it would start as a war epic and turn into horror and end with an epic climax lik the game>for 80-100myou literally just said it needs to be a tight sci fi horror on a budget and now you're saying it needs to be a>le war epicwhich is it, you literally have to chooseyou frankly have no concept of how film production or the creative process in general works so you're just throwing out whatever current impulse is flickering through your head
>>221400171Who cares, you nerds are never satisfied with anything, just like your shitty lives. It really is pointless to try to make you everyone happy.
>>221400193lol, clearly you care faggot.
>>221400206
>>221400168congrats, you just pitched halo 1.
>>221400193no we just actually have practical experience doing things in real life the fact you think halo (an unc franchise) has any hope of being made well AND making enough money back to justify it existing nearly 20 years past its experiation date is quite frankly absurdthere's been several attempts to adapt halo and they have all been expensive, cheap af looking, unmitigated cringeneil blompkamps verision from like 2007 was the only possible moment/idea that would have worked it's over retard, admit it
>>221400217post more outdated memes, it's really working for you.
>>221400251>it's over retard, admit itno>>221400259Thank you for keeping my thread alive

>>221400251the sad part is that while blomkamps version would have looked incredible, his writing is on par with a high school freshmen's

>>221394882>halothey made a tv show no one watched
>>221400311The people who stick to their fucking guns, despite getting called a bunch of fucking retards, make more money in life than the people who worry about being perfect and executing everything right.
>>221400325wrap it up guys, this is an actual post in a thread about a halo tv show.
>>221400334Still on page 1 faggot
>>221400339did this retard just learn how 4chan works?
>>221400339yes you making yourself look foolish is still top of the catalog, congrats have any more terrible film pitches for us to clown on you for anon?
>>221400361>>221400366>Oh no I got dogpiled on 4chan what shall I do
>>221400379let me speak in your language: pic is literally you
>>221400417Oh yeah? Well watch this.
>>221400417watch him try to seethe his way out of trying to convince us this needs to have horror elements added to it to make it good and more like the true halo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyOAdrxlPVs
>>221399934Give me $100 million dollars and I will make a good Halo movie, yes. I'll show up on Monday if your check clears.
>>221400466in a better reality, blomkamp found a writing partner who was even mildly decent and we would be swimming in halo kino today.
>>221400466Yeah, sorry, I just haven’t been convinced that doing a solid, straightforward adaptation of Halo 1 would be a disaster. It seems like a pretty solid, basic idea. You do a grounded, small-scale version of Halo 1. You have one big action scene at the end. $80 to $100 million sounds doable to me. You could definitely make that on the budget of Sinners or The Running Man.
>>221400489you can't even write your way out of getting mogged by lazy veitnamese knitting forum users anonso no, I will not being hiring you, except on the coniditon it's to go the fuck back and stop polluting this board with your cringe copeposting and half baked non-ideas
>>221397473Why are you gay?
>>221400527halo 1 has like 30 minutes of actual story.
>>221400527>You do a grounded, small-scale version of Halo you're literally doing what every hack has done to halo so far halo is NOT grounded, or small scaleit's a literal glaxy spanning military space opera >You could definitely make that on the budget of Sinners or The Running Man.hahaha this fuckin guy I swtg bro you might actually be super dumb fr
>>221400561Sticks and stones
>>221400570I accept your concession
>>221400519amen
>>221400466bruh, just the music towards the end gave me goosebumps
>>221400581dummy you dont up the budget for 2 unless Halo 1 is successful. Halo 1 is relatively small scale. Few corridors, open fields and beaches.If people like it then you can ball out budget wise for 2. Pretty basic strategy.
>>221400532I wasn't even the Anon you were replying to. But I can certainly make a good Halo movie for $100 million. It wouldn't be that hard. Shit, people were making better shorts for like $100 thousand or less back in the day. I would even do it under the condition that it's in the "horror" genre like the other guy was talking about. There's plenty of horror in that world without even the Flood being involved. You clearly never played those games.
>>221400629These dudes are just negative as shit. It's completely doable at $100M.
>>221400615the best part is cheif doesn't even fucking show up at allthey managed to make more of a halo film than anything since without even putting chief in itthink about that when other people try to convince you about what halo actually is or isn;t
>>221394882They're too busy shutting down Xbox
>>221400646Assuming you're the original Anon on this, I think your $80-100 million budget is very reasonable. You just cut out the nonsense, shoot it lean, rely a lot on practical effects and pre-planning for the CGI, and have an actual script in place before you start production. Budgets have gotten so bloated because they try to write the script in editing after they made the thing, and then it's all last minute poorly done CGI thrown on top of green screen footage paying the artists double overtime rates because they don't start work until 2 weeks before the premiere. Somebody who understands what they want to do and has a good vision can make stuff happen. The problem today is there's so much money being thrown at people they aren't forced to make any actual decisions, and art requires decisions. The only decisions that get made come at the end, when anything and everything has been tried, and them some marketing exec comes in with a formula that says the final product needs x amount of this, and y amount of that, and blah blah blah, and it's just generic slop. They show a test audience of retards in California a cut, make a couple changes, and then it's shat out into theaters. It's a very expensive way to make a very mediocre product. Nobody seems to know how to make movies anymore.Write a script, do some storyboards, hand it over to the props department, have the effects guys on set helping set up the camera and the lightning. Shoot everything as storyboarded, then hand the dailies over to the effects studio. Pick your best takes and hand it over to the Foley and score people. Do one more edit pass, finalize, and release. With a Halo film you don't want big name actors, that saves you tons of money. Most of the cost is in props, costumes, sets, and CGI, all of which is far cheaper to do with plenty of lead time and a solid plan from the beginning. You plan the movie around mood and character instead of spectacle so the number of effects shots is limited.
>>221400885The only thing the naysayers in this thread have right is that modern Hollywood might not know how to pull this off anymore. You can absolutely make this as a movie. The real question is why studios seem incapable of making solid films at this budget level now. It really points to how badly these projects are managed now. Anyone who grew up watching movies in the 2000s knows this is doable, even with inflation.Maybe the studios really are just pocketing the budget personally or using films as tax write-offs now.
>>221400885>>221400984its not impossible to make for 100m, helmed by a first timer, with no name actorshowever no studio on earth, let alone microsoft would approve of thatyou all sound like young naive retards thinking that you or your buddies could do it for less, filmmaking is beyond hard take the new dune flicks, they cost around 150M+ to do and they have about the same scale as halo, likely less, due to not needing as much creature CGIyou guys have no idea how any of this works, but bless your dumb hearts for thinking it would be cheap/easy to do halo rightits over, deal with it, halo is no longer a desirable franchise and it won't be any time soon again
>>221401671how far away do you think we are from where microsoft either gives up rights to halo or thinks it's such a garbage IP that they're willing to let no name actors be used? It's truly retarded that they would let such a huge franchise just wither on the vine. Like Halo should be a money printing machine for them.
>>221401969>It's truly retarded that they would let such a huge franchise just wither on the vine.what are you talking about dude, no one has given half a fuck about halo in at least 10 yearsthe new remake looks terrrible, and it's not going to move the needle at allit's moment came and went, thats fine, but it's not going to be anything other than a once every 6-7 years vidya releasemicrosoft will NEVER sell the rights, they're the entire reasons the original blomkamp film was never made to begin withthey suck and thats fucking obvious at this point
>>221401969>Like Halo should be a money printing machine for them.I don't disagree, but they are too stupid and have too many cringe millenial faggots working for them to do things correctly so here we are
>>221402011bro, you cannot be this retarded>>It's truly retarded that they would let such a huge franchise just wither on the vine.>what are you talking about dude, no one has given half a fuck about halo in at least 10 yearsliterally started off the post screaming "I'M A HUGE FUCKING RETARD"
>>221401671Funny, I'd use Dune as an example of how there is still one director working today who knows how to keep film costs low. $150 million for Dune is a bargain. Any other director would have blown through twice that number and then claimed it couldn't be done. There is absolutely no reason for Halo to be shot on location in the Middle East in a real desert. It doesn't need big sandworms, or to invent a new fucking way to render dragonfly wing blur like they did for that film. Halo does not need huge battles of thousands of people on screen like Dune. It doesn't need massive multistory practical sets that look carved out of stone with lasguns. At the very least, the larger human sets don't have to look otherworldly, they can made mostly of modern day stuff since Halo takes place in a reasonably-near future with pretty standard modern-day design philosophy. The Covenant stuff doesn't need to look lived-in or high detail, it's sleek and low-textured. Any Forerunner stuff should be equally as smooth.>>221401969The reason to use no-name actors is because most of who you need are just some generic-looking soldiers, and the whole idea of the Master Chief is that you don't see his face at all, because he's just a guy, could be anyone, could be you at home, Xbox gamer. It's not merely a cost-saving measure, it's a deliberate artistic choice. Marines are just random dudes drafted into the military. You don't want anyone that looks too unique or beautiful. Grab a bunch of nobodies from a local gym, shave their heads, hand them a big rubber prop gun, and you're good to go. And you would focus mainly on humans, and one tall guy in green armor. You'd keep shots of actual aliens pretty few and far between except a few important big set pieces. And mostly they just need to die, blown apart by machine gun fire and grenades.>>221402011It died because they stopped making good games, yes, obviously. If they had kept making good games, it would still be huge.
People who were born yesterday have absolutely no idea how massive Halo was as an IP, how universally beloved and how much it penetrated into normalfag culture worldwide. It was the first time that video games were actually "cool" and not just something for weird loser nerds.
>>221394882I'd watch a movie about the arbiter. Going from the most feared covenant general, to a disgraced scapegoat, to realizing his whole race was tricked into believing a lie and teaming up with Masterchief to stop it was and would be pure kino.
>>221395955That's just every humans vs aliens movie that's ever been made. Alien alone is better because it's a fucking slasher movie with a cool monster.You like gay shit because you're stupid.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWSLHcAyy90Just make a Halo show like Band of Brothers and call it a day.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40jdpzrpIps
>>221395188huh. I stopped playing way before 5. glad I guess.
>>221399464>we hired a bunch of people who hate this incredibly successful franchise and think they know better than us how to make it>we're giving them free reign to change it to suit their tastes instead of what our existing audience wants>it's a good thingHas it ever been a good thing, though? Has it ever managed to result in a good game, or movie, or TV show, or anything?
>>221394882I still don't get what happened with that Halo movie project with Peter Jackson back in the 2000s, and why it was canceled. It was supposed to be made at the perfect time when Halo was at its peak popularity, there was quite a buzz on it, and Microsoft and Peter Jackson/Neil Blomkamp just called it quits for some reason.
>>221396050It's modern Creative Assembly so it almost certainly will be
>>221403981Oh yeah, I remember that now. No idea what happened.
The momentum behind Halo that existed in the 2000s is long dead man. It’s sad to think about what could have been but the truth is that the best we’ll ever get is the Niell Blomkamp live action short where ODST are in a firefight with Brutes and getting their shit rocked.
>>221395183Yeah sorry anon we can't do that, Karen in Marketing already promised her second cousin's former roommate's niece we'd let her direct it and gave her full creative control. She's done a couple of short films for college and she's never even heard of Halo before this, so I'm sure she'll do a great job.
>>221394882They're about to try and ruin Halo (again!) next month, a movie would be worse than the show.
>>221400456WTF IS THAT REAL?
2026...i am forgotten
>>221404323It's actually heartwarming that absolutely no one remembers the majority of 343 slop.
>>221404323I remember Forward Unto Dawn. It wasn't bad.
>>221403981>>221404018neil and pete probably wanted to make bungie halo but 343 wanted to push their stupid forerunner, cortana rampancy + master chief romance bullshit. Not rocket science to figure it out.
>>221394882No one cares about Halo anymore.The shitty Paramount series was mocked by everyone.
