I know you guys had heard news about them making a halo movie. apparently it is in pre-production, with Peter Jackson as the Executive Producer and Denzel Washington rumored to play the role of Master Chief. Alex Garland is writing the script, who also wrote the script for 28 Days Later.

It could be a good film. Peter Jackson is a good producer. It still seems odd to have Halo become a film.



On other side news, The classic novel "Ender's Game," written by Orson Scott Card. This so happens to be my favorite book of all time. This is also in Pre-production

EDIT: sorry about that Ender's Game thing. I meant to also say it was in Pre-production. I was in a rush last night!

Denzel as Master Chief...erhmm?

Morgan Freeman would own hard core, only if he wasn't so old, Perhaps as that crazy sarge.

..Denzel Washington :rolleyes:

Good actor but not a Master Chief... And I crack up everytime I think of Morgan Freeman.. Hes white! I swear to god, he just fell into a tub of ink.

Give us, us free!

I think Alex Garland's script got turned down.

Im sorry, I am NOT being the arrogant bigot that I normally am, but Master Chief is NOT black. Personaly, I dont think he should remove his helmet at all! It will leave the alure. Back to my first comment though, I just dont feel that master chief would be a black guy, I would picture him as a almost cliche'ish white muscle bound guy. He might jump like a black man but... it just doesnt fit the roll. Hes too rigidly badass to be black. When I think of black man in an action movie I think of impossibly cool looking compaired to MC's hfs thats sweet action sequences and way of thinking.

Denzel would be a decent choice in my opinion. He can play a great bad ass- see Man on Fire. To be honest though, I'd like to see Clive Owen play the part though. His performances in Inside Man and Sin City set him apart as a bad ass not to be trifled with, which is what I think you're looking for for this part.

They're just gonna "Hollywood" this movie up to appeal to the masses, and not the good number of people who actually CARE about the Halo storyline.

They're just gonna make it to sell tickets, who cares if it's accurate? They're gonna make millions!

And a way to do that? Hey, put a popular black man into the role of an obvious white bad-ass!

This movie will most likely suck, and be only good to those who don't really know the Halo storyline.

Acording to that site the plot is the same as the first game, which would suck because I want to learn something new about the universe. I have to hope that is wrong, they wouldn't go over the same stuff again.

Ah yes, I god interested and read up on the Halo book facts. And in the books it mentions that, quote

"MC is really uncomfortable w/ the armor off, and he is also albino white when he takes it off (as you can imagine)."

If they make a black actor play this character, he better at least look albino.

Giovanni,
I got it from www.imdb.com . Jaged just posted a link to that in his post.

This place is pretty good about being up to date, but sometimes they can lack here and there. Like I said, that is what I saw. Whether everything be true or not, I don't know.


As far as someone to play the Master Chief, I would have to go with Mickey Rourke. I feel he could fit the role perfectly.

Xmo is right, the guy should LOOK like a geneticaly engineered super soldier. Albino, weird colored eyes, gigantic.

Yes because... after all... Albino doesn't mean that they are utlra sensible to light.... right?

Thats the condition of albino, a geneticaly engineered super soldier who looks like an albino doesnt necessarily HAVE to be albino, just look like it.

running around in a suit like that for a few years is going to make you as pasty white as a person can come

Need I say Mickey Rourke, again? That guy isn't the most amazing looking person, and I still think he would be perfect for the part of Master Chief.

Ok, the only thing they need is someone with a cool voice. Because they SHOULD'NT TAKE OFF HIS HELMET. If they do they'll kill it all. From then on we'd remember MC as some guy in a movie. Who most likely will be the exact opposite of what we all imagine him looking like. So our views of MC will be tainted by some random directer's opinion of what he looks like.

I'd have to agree with Kyonye, Mickey Rourke fits the role physically, and his voice would work perfectly.

I dont know the actors name, but that guy who played the mutilated guy obsessed with goldy would be perfect.

If you're going to be a stickler for details master cheif shouldn't look 'genetically engineered' because he wasn't in any sense of the term. He was a boy, and he and the rest of the Spartan project were put through radical physical enhancement.

But if you ask me, Master Cheif shouldn't be given a face... not because it will 'ruin the mystique' but because its unimportant to the rest of the story. Master Cheif wears Mjolnir, and since he always seems to be inside his shell what he looks like under it doesn't matter in the least. A few key things matter: 1) relations between the humans and the elite-sided covenant, 2) The Flood, Gravemind and the Rings, and most importantly 3) the Forerunners. A movie should be focused on that, just as the game and all of the novels are, not what master cheif looks like when he goes to hang out in the mess.
