It's not as big a cash cow as it was a couple of years ago. Super Mario Brothers was bigger, and look how that turned out. Plus, Uwe Boll isn't dead yet.
But soft! What rock through yonder window breaks? It is a brick! And Juliet is out cold.The Silent Hill movie was, if not great at least passable and entertaining.
IJBM lives on here! Sign up!The failure of the Halo movie to be produced led to District 9. If it means more movies like that one, I support the Development Hell of the Halo movie.
the future we had hoped forWhhhyyyy?! Granted I'd much rather it be a shadow over innsmouth movie, but still...

"Every opinion that isn't mine is subjected to Your Mileage May Vary."It'll be made eventually, there's no doubt about that. Here's hoping it's directed by Neil Blomkamp and based off Halo: Reach *
I've got two guns pointed west and a broken compass.Not saying that. Just saying that a movie with Master Chief as the star would be boring because MC can just do anything. There's no drama. If there is ever to be a Halo movie, have it be following the regular troops around in a new story set in the Halo universe. The Chief can still be involved, just not as the main star, or a walking Deus Ex. He's fine as a video game character but for a film character he's too two-dimensional.
I'd disagree. I'd say the worst Video Game Movies are so not because their medium wasn't fit for the big screen, but because whoever made the movie added terrible/cliche/ridiculous elements or otherwise created a poor movie.
That is to say, that most video games aren't bad because video games inherently don't make good movies, but merely because those movies simply aren't good movies in the first place.
I often get annoyed when you have a video game with a storyline very easily adapted into at least a decent movie ruined because whoever's in charge of making the thing thought they had to make it something incredibly cliche instead of letting it stand on its own.

Common friken hollywood. Can't you see how big a cash cow Halo is? This is a fucking lump of gold staring you in the face and you won't sort through all that creative rights bs and just make the damn movie?
Fuckin hell.
