Talk:Halo (2007 cancelled film)

The Movie is back on track.
Denzel Washington is hinted to be starring in the movie. An actor friend of mine got a copy of part of the script for tryouts, and it blatantly says "HALO. Starring: Denzel Washington." That's it. Ph10 17:12, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * There has been nothing to confirm that Denzel Washington will be in this film. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 18:39, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Really, I mean, it's not like you have any solid evidence that he's paying in the movie.Halo3master5000 09:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * A friend of a friend told me he was. So there! :)-

I dunno... I mean, I can see Denzel Washington playing Sgt Major Johnson, but the Master Chief? I mean, it's been established (in Halo:The Flood) that the Chief is most likely Caucasian, and his voice is pretty recognizable, so I figure that we never see the Chief's face and the voice is done by Steve Downes, with credit also going to whoever's in the suit. That's just my opinion, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.50.151.8 (talk) 08:56, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Have we ever actualy seen the Master Chiefs skin colour? His accent does not determine what race he is. Besides, I dont think it should matter anyway, because he is not supposed to be seen with his amour off. Also, I think Denzel Washington would be great as Sgt Major Johnson

 * In one of the Halo books (dunno which exactly) it mentions his skin is unnaturally white; before he started training he had brown hair and freckles. I'd love to see Denzel Washington as Johnson, but I guess that's going to be a long, long time away -- the project has been stated dead by Blomkamp. --firefoot77 19:39, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

link to movie trailer
THere is a section of the article describing each scene of the trailer (which seems irrelevant to this page for one thing) but no external link is shown. Provide one please. 24.196.115.179 00:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Ummm... How can there be a link to a movie trailer when they haven't even really begun production?Ljwman2 01:25, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

2009 ?
Is 2009 the real date or something ? By then no one would care because the halo series is over.

I need a sorce to prove that this movie is comeing out in 2009 or not ?

The movie is NOT back on track
Just so you know, 20th century fox bought the merchendising rights for halo and is not funding the film.

Phrasing
There was some awkward phrasing on the page I tried to correct, I think it makes the article a little clearer.Mad031683 16:49, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Dead
The ship has sunk. How sad.

''The film is entirely dead. In the configuration it was in. Whatever happens with that movie, assuming that movie gets made, will be a totally different configuration. It's not so much me as the entire vessel sank. Basically, it was a combination of; there were two studios involved that weren't getting along in the process of making it, Universal and Fox. That kind of stuff happens, it's a fragile industry. So the film collapsed at the end of last year, and it's been dead, ever since then. I'll be curious to see what happens.''

So, is it totally dead or we have a chance to see it sometime?--KaragouniS 19:00, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I remember reading somewhere that this movie had multi-million deals attached to it. Rights, and permission to actually make the movie. a total that came close to $75,000,000. is this true?

Screenplay?!?!?!
"He hinted at future offspring and possibly a sequel to the movie where Chief's son, Zarlon, would take his father place in fighting the covenant even though he finished them off about 3,000 neptunes ago." 3,000 Neptunes what? Besides, in Halo 3, Master Chief is shown to be drifting towards a sentinel planet at the end of the game, so how does the sentence make sense? Which kind of idiot wrote the script for the Master Chief and Cortana to have a LOVE AFFAIR?!?! First of all, Cortana is an AI, so she isn't physical, so it would be sick and wrong for the Chief and Cortana to have a son (even if they did, why would his name be Zarlon?). Prottos007 22:38, 8 November 2007 (UTC) Who hinted this??? How can "Zarlon" fight the covenant when they were eliminated??? Master Chief is a cyborg, how can he have a sun, he as a suit on that basically stays on!!! And 3,000 Neptunes isn't a real unit of time, is it??? Even if Chief could get the suit off, his body, considering how it would be now, would probably be sterile!!! So this guy is right: WHERE DID THIS COME FROM!?!Ljwman2 01:33, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Merge
I think we should merge this film article into the Halo (series) article, and leave it there until the film actually gets into production, as per WP:NOTFILM.When the film enters production, the article may be recreated because this project has been in development hell for some time. Someone else should do the merge, as I might not have time to do it.--EclipseSSD (talk) 18:58, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Support - I've been meaning to bring this up for a while. It doesn't even really need this discussion; we should just go ahead and do it. I made a start scribbling something together a couple of weeks ago for inclusion in the series article, but I'm just too damn lazy and fickle of attention. Best regards, Liquidfinale (Ţ) (Ç) (Ŵ) 11:27, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Support - agree, plus, it might even chop down the amount of vandalism it receives if more users are watching the parent article. Scar ian  Talk  12:09, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Support - Yeah, nice idea :) --The Dark Lord of Wiki (talk) 17:54, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Support per the nominator's argument. Halo (film) can redirect to the specific section at Halo (series), so no important information will be lost, and the page history for this article will still be here.  Like the notability guidelines for films says, the article about this project can be set up again if the project enters production.  There's too many factors before actual production that stops a project -- scripting issues, casting issues, budget issues (like what happened here), strikes, et cetera.  I put together a list of resources at User:Erik/Halo (film), so perhaps they can be implemented into the film article then copied to the series article. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 17:58, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
