    Hrm... Keanu Reaves as Master Chief!

    Upon first flight of a banshee: "Whoa."
    First time firing Scarab Gun: "Whoa."
    Any other scene in the movie: "Whoa."

    But with a sorta robotic sound to the voice. Muwahahaa...
  • cyberscape2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It'd be interesting, like shake said, if anyone actually touches this. Those are some tight demands. But imagine the payoff if it came out as an actually great movie.
  • holmesxt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Master Chief as Keanu Reaves

    "Tank: What do you need...beside a miracle?"
    "I need a gun."
  • launchcode, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Having seen the steam turd that was the Mario Bros. movie - ANYTHING is possible in Hollywood.
  • rmf_mental, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wonder why Microsoft is going about getting the movie made this way. I know that the process is complex, but they have more than enough money to pay for it to get done.
  • jmccorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If Microsoft is involved, you can bet that version 1.0 of the movie will be crap. But if they refine it all the way to a 3.0, it'll be a stunning religious experience.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Assuming anyone picks this up (doubtful IMO), I would avoid it like the plague . As I do all movies based on video games, especially games that have paper thin plots like the FPS genre.
  • adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thats some steep list of demands, I can understand them, but still I'll be surprised if anyone picks this up.
  • jmccorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wing Commander, The Movie called.
    They're going to want their crappy reviews back.
  • FunkyGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0eh is prob spyware
  • adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1lol, maybe we'll see the first movie patch...
    "Last week you saw HALO the movie Version 1.1.0324"
    "This week see HALO the Movie Version 1.1.03531"
    Microsoft recomends that to get the full performance, features and security from Halo that all movie goers turn on there "Automatic ticket update" and go see this movie again.
