New Halo script in Hollywood based on Halo: Fall of Reach |
Ó
Ok, so Hollywood didn't bite with the first Halo movie deal, with production going on and off for months (years, actually...), and eventually grounding to a halt. But that doesn't mean it was a bad idea to begin with, which is why Hollywood screenwriter Stuart Beattie - the guy who wrote the original Pirates of the Caribbean movie - is giving it another go.
Beattie gave the story a fresh new start, basing the script on the best selling novel, Halo: Fall of Reach, a 2001 science fiction novel by Eric Nylund. It's based on the Halo series, and acts as the prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved. Of course, it also stars Master Chief.
The script caught the attention of some Hollywood people, and concept art has even been created by Kasra Farahani - who made the concept art for movies such as Spiderman 3 and Hancock - for a presentation to be made to Microsoft (that's one of them above). Will this script make the cut and actually go up on the silver screen? We can only hope.

rather not see the creators of Pirates of the Caribbean movie doing this.
It will be Walt Disney Halo but what the hell. they did great on pirates movie so this probably turn out awesome.
Ok, I am glad to see that a script has been written for a possible Halo film. I know that in 2006 and 2007 a script was written by some relatively unknown writers and I was hoping that it wouldn't be used for the movie. Thank God it didn't. Stuart Beetie is a great screenwriter, and I trust him with the project.
This movie needs to be carefully done. Peter Jackson is the only director I trust with directing. Or Spielberg haha!
And please, don't turn Halo in a disney-themed film!
