XMNR: If you remember the animated collection of stories in Halo Legends, you'll remember one of the better ones was a short starring Master Chief, Frederic-104 and Kelly-087 called The Package. McFarlane Toys announced on Friday that a three-pack is coming in January featuring the three Spartan IIs.
Pixels or Death lays out the pros and cons of a Halo film on the news that Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks could be spearheading such an endeavor in 2012.
Hmmmm
I don't know...
Did anyone see the concept art of the canceled Halo movie...how big Master Chief or the Spartens in general were going to be, they were massive like 6 foot high robots. I'm glad it wasn't made, it probably would of sucked if they did that.
i know a lot of you guys will disagree with me but i think they should give it to Michael Bay. i mean if you look at the first transformers movie, it stayed closely to the source material. yes, he did screw up on the second one. but you cant tell me you never enjoy the third one.
i just think he has the vision to pull off epic battle scenes and that is something a halo movie needs plenty of.
i say that mainly coz between the story, there is only action.
buts thats just my 2 cents. dont butcher me. :)
A good sci fiction movie with intergalatic wars is always welcome.
Make it like Starship Troppers with tons of action.
