Steven Spielberg to Produce Halo?

spielberg will be a good move -
Vis,seems as if yu think with your ass as seen from your lame-ass comment.

Probably gonna be rated R (I'll have to sneak in)... They're gonna break there necks trynna get it to be rated PG-13 though.

And theres blood all over the walls with Flood, and they look fucking scary. Imagine one on screen, jumping at a swearing marine, and chomping at him while screaming, and then little things coming along and changing him into a flood. That's just freaky man, especially if you read the Halo . Trust us, its R worthy. Plus in the books, John punches through Captain Keyes head (with his big ass hand) when he becomes infected by flood. ;D

Yeah, there's lots of blood...it's not gory, but when you shoot the Covenant aliens, there's blood. Plus, when Cheif dies, you never actually see blood while playing, but when you go to the theater lobby and watch the vid, you see blood when he dies. Plus, there's the flood, which is scary for children and they can ooze blood-like stuff. And the marines cuss at times...not as much as I'd like them to, though lol

oh wow they are mature lmao. My bad. I don't know how they gave it that rating (the guns I guess?)

When you write them keep in mind, show not tell. I'm writing one as well, I'm halfway through the first one. I like to get advice from other people, it sort of helps when they see the project before it's submitted. That way, you know what to look for in mistakes or grammar.
I'm pulling my hair out since I do the same thing with my books.

I plan on writing movies for a living, I'm going to highschool when school starts which is about 3 weeks. I have a few movies in mind already.

The games are rated Mature, Chad...otherwise I wouldn't give a shit about the rating ;)

The only game in the series that was Teen was Halo Wars, and that was a real time strategy game so it doesn't count lol

I would love it to be R guys, I would, but it's not gonna happen lol. The games have too much "family friendly" surrounding them. They are rated Teen, not Mature, which is probably going to be what they'll be thinking when making the film. Ya know the whole "we gotta make sure this is PG-13 so everyone can see it" type of movie. This movie if made will be huge, a lot of hype will be built up. I think now is a great time because people are kinda out of the Halo phase and it's not nearly as popular as it was at each sequels releases. Now that the dust has settled and people get shit worked out with Microsoft and Bungie etc, they need to unveil Halo secretly one day, like at a E3 game convention or something. Or Comic Con. A teaser would drive everyone bonkers lol. It would have SO much hype. It'd be everywhere. As long as they don't rush it and try to spit out an adaptation just because ol' Steven likes it lol. And I don't understand how he thinks he can get this thing going when Peter Jackson told everyone at Comic Con that it's dead in the water basically so they made District 9. I hope District 9 does really well and is as good as it looks, cause then maybe execs will pull their heads out of their asses and be like "these guys are good, lets get this Halo project going".

I agree with this, I read the first two. If they stick to the books it would be a lot better, besides the books are just as good. I just need the next four books to catch up.

I forgot the language and the fact that Hunters and brutes can kick the living hell out of any marine and pull em apart. So yeah, an R rating would be highly preferred. I just hope they show Linda, Kelly, Fred, Sam Kirk, AND Will in the Spartan Training Program.

Chad, Halo needs a PG-13 rating like we all need a hole in the head. For me, the main reason is the Flood. Growing eating and devouing marines and covenant alike. And like Vis said, for those who read the novel, the kidnapping/training of the future Spartans is petty cool and graphic if need be. Like the old Greek Spartans the kids had to steel, hide, kill, and break almost every rule by the age of 8 not to mention carry and use nearly every known weapon.

mikehd... did you actually see GI Joe? The graphics were really good so I don't know what the fuck your deal is. I do graphic art as my 2nd job and trust me I know the difference between what looks good and doesn't. The movie had good effects. I don't know how you can even argue about that lol. That's like saying Transformers had bad graphics. Most of the CGI of people were only what a couple shots of Snake Eyes chasing the Hummer, Scarlet on the bike, and some of Rip and Duke chasing after the hummer in the suits. Everything else was backgrounds etc. And they looked good. If you didn't like the movie because of whatever else then that's fine, but I'm not going to argue about shit that shouldn't even be argued about like the graphics. I'm tired of people not knowing what they're are talking about.

You won't be able to find them, I've been trying for years to locate the three series. It makes me up set to know that these shows got axed and erased. I was there when the pilots were destroyed.

I know about that newkill, it depends on what you like to do. I've been writing since I was 12, and had a lousy career as an actor but I got over it in time. I have done local theater as a builder and have tried to get back into the entertainment world as an actor but no one knows of me.
I bet you're wondering what I did, I did three TV pilots that were scrapped since they were really bad and there were rip off's of TV shows.
One was live action and the other two were cartoon. The studio got in heaps of trouble since they were copying other shows. then I was asked to do a film which was not made. I forget the title.
I was bitter for years until 1995. In 93 I found out that my agent died, but I rather not go back into it.
As of lately I do wish I was an actor, but fate changes people. As you can see I've have become an author and writer, my second book is done I'm trying to weed out all the mistakes.
One day I'll be back on top but not as an actor.
I would rather be behind the scenes now.

If Steven Spielberg needs to relax. Why does he have to do so much? He's like Donald Trump of Cinema. I will see it anyway, although I believe Halo is over rated.

Todd, just entering into the entertainment field and getting a career as a writer is easier said than done.

What ever you decide to do don't work for a movie theater nor Home Depot. Depot screws with your head, a movie theater has no concept of how to manage people.
Enter the entertainment field or become a writer, it's a lot more fill fulling. Unless you like retail which I don't.

...Wish I was old enough to have a job.

alright as long as they get the story on track with the first game and the beginning and end arent too screwy.. esp with the flood bs

Sorry for that I've been on edge since last week, lost a job recently.

thats the thing i'm 40 and to grown for it but alot of people liked i didn't just 1 opinion

What are you smoking? It looks fine to me and it's only a film for crying out loud. G.I Joe may suck in places but so what and grow up and enjoy it.

chad not to get on you to bad but just look at the casting of iron man 2 gi joe is going to lose alot of money just because of bad casting it should have made 70 million this weekend could you imagine taking a date to see gi joe what we seen at the theatre this weekend was alot of kids and familys not alot of dates and groups of women this movie didn't have this kind of draw because of horrible cast marlon and chad come on

chad those special effects in gi joe was horrible and the casting was gorbage it's not even on transfomers 2 level j just to think they spent 150 million dollars on it it's going to fall off after this weekend

I think it should be rated R because I want John to kick the shit out of people in Spartan training programs and I want to see gory Flood infections...and the Marines to actually swear like marines would swear when getting attacked by aliens.

I doubt I'm the only one ;)

wow I wrote a lot, my bad lol

lol hey Vis, apparantly you're a homosexual and you didn't even know it. God I'm so glad I don't talk like that. Makes me feel better about being me lol.

And to defend G.I. Joe from mikehd. Everyone in my theater was laughing at the jokes and seemed okay (I like to eavesdrop). Most of the things I heard were about Storm Shadow and his ending in the film (trying not to give out spoilers). Yes some cliche things here and there and some cheesy dialogue but I mean, the cartoons were much worse lol. NO ONE EVER DIED IN THE CARTOONS. EVER! But you didn't care when you were a kid neither did I. Just cause you've grown up and things don't fool you as easy doesn't mean that movie sucked. I was actually impressed with it for how much negative hype it had before I actually watched it. I had a few minor gripes about the film but overall I give it a B- . I actually liked it MORE than Transformers 2 mainly because I wasn't asking a million questions after like I did with T2.

You have to play Gears of War to appreciate it. It's multiplayer experience (the first one not the 2nd game) pretty much ruined any other multiplayer game for me. Call of Duty titles are the only other game I can play online that don't bore me. If you play and get into Gears 1 multiplayer, you will most likely dislike Halo. Halo is the kiddy version of Gears. After you have curbstomped alien creatures and chainsawed them, what cool stuff can you do in Halo? Sticky grenade? That's it? Sniping was the coolest in Halo, when you shot them they'd spin around and fall. In Gears, you shoot their head and it pops like a zit and sounds like a somebody smashing a melon of some sort lol. It's very satisfying. Halo is an everyone game and you can kill people easily. Gears is a little more of a skill game (mainly because there is no crosshair) so you have to aim wisely and play as a team. The only downsides to Gears is random minor glitches and lag (since they don't have servers like CoD or Halo). Gears 2 is the one of the top 4 best looking games next to Mass Effect, the new Fight Night, and Elder Scrolls Oblivion. I'd say #1 with Gears 2 and Mass Effect at #2 or vice versa but a very close call regardless. Gears 2 is overhyped so I understand why you were weirded out by the fanboys lol. I'm a huge fan of Gears but the 2nd game's muliplayer was altered way too much. The 2nd game's campaign was much better and one of the funnest campaigns I've played. BioShock is better than both story wise, and has great graphics at times, and I've never heard anyone actually disliking that game.

The funny thing about Halo for me is that, everyone seems to want this to be R. But I don't get it, the games aren't even violent so why would this be rated R? You see what maybe some blue blood patterns from the covenant next to their bodies? And it's the same with the marines. It's almost faded blood stains. It's lame. You snipe people but no heads come off. You throw a grenade at somebody and they just fly into the air? lol. R... lmao what the hell are you guys smoking? Gears of War IS R. BioShock is R. Dead Space is R. Call of Duty and Halo have almost the same amount of violence which is hardly none since nothing is graphic. Yeah you shoot people, but there is no gore nada. That's a PG-13 movie only.

mkay.. waiting for something good. as long as the movie will come out already. its about fuckin time this movie finda a director. and, not gonna lie. spielberg can do a good job.

Well... There about to tease us with this.
