Perhaps it was the success of Stuart Beattie's latest project, the "G.I. Joe" film, or maybe it is simply the sort of project that Stephen Spielberg had been looking for because rumors have once again, begun to circulate. According to IESB news, famed director/producer Stephen Spielberg is a huge fan of Beattie's script and apparently he has been searching for a new project now that Dreamworks lost "Transformers" to Paramount.
I am a bit skeptical over the prospect of a "Halo" movie written by the same guy that brought us " G.I. Joe;" after all, one of my biggest complaints with the "G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra" movie was, in fact, the script. Additionally, not everything with Spielberg's name means quality. What are your thoughts? Are you a fan of the game? Have you read the comic book?

So long as Master Chief doesn't get into a lead lined fridge to avoid being blown up...I'm down.
Well, for a first film in a possible trilogy "Fall of Reach" wouldn't be a bad start. It deals with John's selection to the Spartan 2 program and becoming Spartan-117. It also introduces the Covenant and the ring pretty well. The thing is though, how much would the writer take into consideration of the book into his script? But I guess if Spielberg loved it, it must good. I don't know, just make it come out well and serious.
The comic was not great and the issues never came out on time. The games are great shooters with a decent story, but the real value is in the online gameplay
The games were great so hopefully, the movies wouldn't ruin a great franchise...

love the game and actually i think the movie could be really good if done right, even though most video game movies are lame. but the same guy who wrote gi joe? i hope not eeeek :/
I was hoping that Peter Jackson and Wingnut would carry on producing Halo, not Spielberg.

What?! Spielberg?! What happened to Neill Blomkamp? The whole reason the Halo movie has not already come out is because the bord of directors of Peter Jacksons production company didn't agree with Jacksons choice of Neill Blomkamp to direct the Halo movie. They didn't think he had enough directing experiance for them to risk putting so much money on the line, and so they put the movie on hold. Thats kind of the reason that Jackson and Blomkamp have made Blomkamp's short District 9 video into a full length movie; as a test of Blomkamp's directing ability and to show the rest of Jacksons company that he is capable of directing Halo.
I love the video game, never read the comic probably never will, a movie IMO is not necessary but hey if the trailer looks good i might see it in theatres other wise i'll be waiting for dvd
Never played the games, but Spielberg can make some amazing war movies. The combination of scifi and war movie could make for a pretty amazing film.
just gotta hand speilberg a baseball bat to keep lucas on his side of the room and this should be good
all they have to do is get a big guy like the dude that plays jason and get the guy who does cheifs voice in the movies and i'll be happy with cheif bein on the big screen
Um, the cut scenes from Halo pretty much were a movie. The voice acting and story was great. Must Hollywood wipe their ass on everything that can get their hands on? Those suits in GI JOE (which I'm not seeing for many years, I'd have to be really bored.) are pretty much Halo-esque suits. I don't see the point in making this movie other than raking in some money and ruining a game franchise
One word...
PHAIL.
Give it all to Lucas! Remember Star Wars? ¬¬
If he can do all that with 3 movies stretching from the 70's into the 80's and 3 more movies in the near future, just think what he could do with 1 movie. In this present. Think of how great the effects will be >.<
