Halo Movie Still Dead: Ignore the Misguiding Headlines

Due to a few misguiding headlines and twisted words, it turns out as though 20th Century Fox has only bought the licensing rights to the Halo franchise merchandise. There has yet to be an official announcement on the rights to the film and as of now FOX only holds the rights to distribute items such as clothes, accessories, toys and print publications.

Mr_Kuwabara6153d ago

It's bound to happen. And I didn't even know those peeps make toys and stuff like that.

NoUseMerc6153d ago

I have been reading reports all over the internet though and its kind of mixed. Xbox 360 sites and a few others are reporting that FOX only got the merchandise however some sites suggest that FOX got the merchandise and the movie right but havent announced the movie part yet.

I guess Fox was the first studio looking at doing the Halo movie before Universal but dropped the deal.

Obviously if FOX is making merchandise, then there is most likely going to be a Halo Movie. Why else would they create merchandise for nothing?

Dr Pepper6153d ago

We'll just have to wait and see. Nothing will happen for a while so we might as well move on for now.

Odion6153d ago

but its still MS's IP so they still have last say on the project

sonarus6153d ago

another possibility could be that msoft could sweeting the deal by persuading fox to release on hd-dvd as well (however unlikely its still a possibility) Regardless of this the movie is still gonna end up on market place. This would also mean msoft would most likely adopt the blu ray add on if this did happen. Don't really think Msoft cares that much about hd-dvd. asides from the free animatrix frm xbox and addopting the hddvd format in the 1st place msoft hasnt shown much support for hddvd at all

DrPirate6153d ago

I agree 100% with what you said.

Microsoft doesn't even care all that much about the format war.

Charlie26886153d ago

It would be interesting to see how MS convinces Fox a member of the BRA to release on the rival format…It will kind of ruin the whole point of being part of the BRA right?

Again MS is after the profit regardless of the side and obviously Blu ray might be the right choice to secure higher profits on the HD front

Anyway its rather interesting turn of events but I wouldn't be surprised of Fox later wanted the whole license

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii105d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies105d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer142d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog142d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned142d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c142d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb142d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72142d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman142d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows141d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72153d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai153d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ153d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil153d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
