Title: Halo Movie Post by: Lord Nepenthean on June 20, 2005, 06:34:33 PM The full article can be found here: http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=5165
Quote Microsoft would be paid $5 million for the rights to Halo. Microsoft would also get 10%, not 15%, of the first-dollar box-office receipts (which is still a good deal for Microsoft). Universal would then oversee production and get the domestic distribution rights, while Fox would get the foreign rights and have a say in the production. All said and done, Microsoft is getting a pretty good deal in a market where they are untested. They have high hopes for the movie (they paid Alex Garland of 28 Days Later fame to pen a script faithful to the Halo universe). While we're on the topic of video games made to movies, has anyone heard anything about the Doom movie? Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: CatchFiveBats on June 20, 2005, 06:39:52 PM What...? A Halo movie...? I never really liked the story of Halo anyway, so I guess I won't be watching this one. (Not that I watch many movies anyway.)
Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: Zimbacca on June 21, 2005, 12:38:53 AM This should have been expected. Halo is a very popular video game. As far as the doom movie all I know is, there are no demons from hell, it's not on mars, the rock stars and its suppose to come out in July or August (I think).
Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: Izret101 on June 21, 2005, 07:16:00 AM I only heard rumors about it.
My friend was telling me there was one coming out but i didin't believe him because he is a sarcastic liar sometimes. Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: Francis_The_Mute on June 22, 2005, 11:18:24 AM I don't know about the Halo movie, but to answer your earlier question, the doom movie has been moved to an october release date because of some logistics bull. i dont know, i found the article on 1up http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3139658&did=1
Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: Francis_The_Mute on June 22, 2005, 11:25:57 AM sorry for the second post but i can barely contain myself at this moment. I realize that this is absurdly old news but i didnt see this on the board so i'm putting it up anyways. Who might star in the Doom movie...the one...the only...THE ROCK....(that was feigned adulation in case anyone was wondering) here's the link if any of you guys dont believe me http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3133310&did=6
Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: Izret101 on June 22, 2005, 11:31:17 AM LOL
Don't worry about the double There is a Doom movie thread buried here somewhere... Ahh here it is for your reading pleasure http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=classic;action=display;num=1096498109;start=0#0 Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: tholly on June 22, 2005, 04:47:17 PM hmmm....a video game movie......these are generally terrible, but this is halo....looks like i might actually have to go see this one
Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: Izret101 on June 22, 2005, 08:23:57 PM I think it will be a pretty large movie no matter what type o reviews it gets.
Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: Lord Nepenthean on June 23, 2005, 04:00:44 AM Oh I'll see it, but for the same reason I see other video game-based movies - just because they are based on video games. Speaking of that reminds me that I still need to see Alone in the Dark.....
Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: Vladimir on June 24, 2005, 12:00:17 PM God dammit...
This was bound to happen, but I'm still ungodly pissed off. I plan to make picket signs and go the theatres on opening night to heckle the morons that are going to see it. :yuck: Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: CatchFiveBats on June 24, 2005, 04:09:10 PM Quote God dammit...

Boy oh boy, are you going to get it bad! Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: Francis_The_Mute on July 07, 2005, 01:57:17 PM While we are on the topic of worthless video game movies, one of the worst games out there is being made into a movie
read it and weep: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3141458&did=1 i believe that it was one of the few games to every get a one star review from computer gaming world peace Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: Izret101 on July 07, 2005, 02:33:56 PM I heard that was a good one if ou liked senseless violence and random illing.
Which IMO can be fun every now and then. Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: nupoile on July 07, 2005, 04:07:12 PM Quote Hell, I'll heckle you the most!  Boy oh boy, are you going to get it bad! You won't heckle someone dressed like master chief would you? Oh well, the wife will protect me. :laugh: Title: Re: Halo Movie Post by: danvx6 on July 07, 2005, 05:22:02 PM I just watched National Treasure last night and when I saw Ian (played by Sean Bean) all I could think was "That is Liquid Snake!" He would definitely fit that role in a MGS movie, too bad the idea of a movie has been shot down by Hideo Kojima multiple times already.

Oh well, the wife will protect me. :laugh: He would totally heckle someone dressed up as master chief. As a matter of fact, he would probably heckle them more!
