My OperaHalo -- The Movie
Saturday, October 20, 2007 6:46:49 AM
Halo was a proposed film based on the video game series, developed by Bungie Studios. The film was to be directed by Neill Blomkamp with Peter Jackson as executive producer. The film had a target release date of 2008 but production had been postponed until 2009 due to production financing. Fox picked up the project in October 2006. On October 4, 2007, Neill Blomkamp declared the movie "dead". In an interview with Creativity Online, he stated "The film is entirely dead. In the configuration it was in. Whatever happens with that movie, assuming that movie gets made, will be a totally different configuration." What this means precisely is unknown as representatives of Bungie Studios have asserted that the movie is not necessarily dead.

Halo Declares Death

Director says movie is not happening.

US, October 5, 2007 - Filmmaker Neill Blomkamp had been slated to direct Fox-Universal’s feature film version of the videogame sensation Halo, but the project infamously fell apart last year. Still, there had been rumblings that Halo could still fight its way onto the big screen. It seems, however, that even Blomkamp has given up hope for the Halo movie.

“The film is entirely dead. In the configuration it was in. Whatever happens with that movie, assuming that movie gets made, will be a totally different configuration,” Blomkamp informed Creativity-Online.com. “It’s not so much me as the entire vessel sank. Basically, it was a combination of; there were two studios involved that weren’t getting along in the process of making it, Universal and Fox. That kind of stuff happens, it’s a fragile industry. So the film collapsed at the end of last year, and it’s been dead, ever since then. I’ll be curious to see what happens.”
.
Blomkamp made a trilogy of live-action Halo short films to help promote the release of the Halo 3 game, but they were not — contrary to fans’ hopes — meant to rekindle interest in the movie. “There was not even one percent of my mind in doing those short pieces to try and resurrect the film. And I think maybe that’s because I’m closer to the film, I know how hard it fell, and I know that doing things like that was not how you’re going to get it back on its feet,” Blomkamp explained.
.
But Blomkamp didn’t shut the door on Halo entirely, saying, “As I’m getting older one of the things I’ve realized most about this industry is never say never. That’s the first thing. Right now, I can’t see myself doing that film. But I’m not going to say that I’m not going to do it. So in the present moment, right now, I could take it or leave it. It doesn’t matter to me anymore. There’s too much interesting shit out there. The film has the capacity, if things line up correctly, to be, I think, really cool. But it ended up collapsing, and things happen for a reason.”[/I][/ALIGN]

if u'll directly play halo 3.... u'll miss out all the story, the fun. u'll miss out the background of the character u'll be playing, Master Cheif, the last Spartan...
believe it or not.... the one who plays halo at a first time, literally becomes a fan of halo...
abt the story -- it's awesome. music -- too good. in the game (any game of halo) u'll notice that each cutscene is uniquely directed nd scripted... as if u're watching a film.... nd gets u more indulge in the game...... so now u know how this game's became hit.....
once again abt the story -- it's a kinda sci-fi, action, thriller, political type of genre. even the great star wars' story is not up that level....
i m currently playing halo 2 (it's only for Vista).... nd then i'll get my hands on the 3. i havent played halo 1, just played the demo of it...
u can even start with halo 2 once u know the basic thing of the story...
