Halo Movie?!? - Page 2

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-09-2005, 12:37 AM

There's no way in hell this will happen, but you never know.

I believe it could work if Bungie is directly involved, and the costumes are ture to the source, and it's based off the books. Otherwise, bleh.

Soul Caliber intrests me because Nintendo is on the production list.....and we all know what/who they contributed to Soul Caliber II. Hmmm........

There's also a Crazy Taki movie coming. Should be some crazy sh*t and that could actually work.

You don't think a Halo movie would work... but you think a crazy Taxi one would? I'm gonna have to disagree... Halo has way more of a background story and character depth then Crazy Taxi... Halo would be harder to do... but it would be worth it...

.... in my opinion anyways... Soul Caliber Movie would be cool though... but only if Spawn is in it... and Zelda...

Yeha, there's more development with Sarge in Halo, such as the dark story of his past involving a man who claimed to be his uncle and the use of a garden hose

No more movies based off video games they all sucked.

Mortal Kombat didn't, it had all the characters, a solid story, great fight scenes, and left it open for a better sequel. The animated Street Fighter film didn't, it was just like the game, but with more passion in the story and gave a little humanity to the characters. Also, alot of people liked Resident Evil. So, uh... care to elaborate on that opinion of yours?

Post something constructive, I'm BEGGING you.

Mortal Kombat, as Krow stated, is better written than most video game movies, I also am one of the few people who LIKED Super Mario Bros, given it actually gave a game about two plumbers in a mystical kingdom a Blade Runner setting and a darker storyline, it dealt with Bowser and the Goombas in radically different fashions, but come on, if they kept them in thier game forms, they'd have just looked stupid.

Amen to that. Although, I LOATHE Resident Evil.

A while ago I read about a very far-fetched rumor that a Metal Gear Solid movie concept was in the works. However, I can't find where I read it or any new news about it.

I think a MGS movie would rock, so much plot in the first game with huge room for character development.

I recall that the actor for Snake was hopefully going to be Hugh Jackman. Although, I would really miss the voice of David Hayter.

Also, I'm glad a DMC movie is in the works. I wonder how/if they will handle Daunte's transformation. Anyone know who the actor is?

Everytime I see a new video gaming movie be released by a Hollywood studio, all I see is some pathetic game publisher whoring out their properties in a vain attempt to be accepted by Hollywood, and in effect, by the American populace. Why can't they produce the movies themselves....oh wait, they can't. The MOvie studios own all the theatres.

It's a bad idea. Ever wonder why the only good game to movie conversions were animated in Japan? Because Hollywood's reach can't stretch over the Pacific. The game developers have tighter control over the scripts, and thus there is usually a better result with a few exceptions.

Because Hollywood owns all American theatres, all game anime from Japan has to be released direct to DVD with rare exception. Now, if Sony manages to control all Next-gen DVD production with these Blue Ray DVD's like they please, you can damn well bet they will quietly deny licenses to their rivals and in effect put them out of buisness, or at least split the market so that you have to have two players.

Anyways, VG movies suck in Live Action. I'm done.

Japanese movies can suck, too. Go watch Ringu. It's awful. And while I agree that almost all video game movies suck, American movie companies aren't always money-hungry.
