2006-08-09 19:28:21 Halo Director Announced! First time motion picture director Neill Blomkamp will head the Halo movie. You've probably already seen some of his work, the most likely one being the Citroen transforming car advert but these are pretty popular shorts that a lot of people have seen around the internet... |

2006-08-09 20:01:16 These videos are great. Hopefully MC won't put off his helmet in the movie anyway. |

2006-08-09 20:15:09 Is the date being firmly set in 2008 now? I also heard the budget was around $75M which isn't super high. --- |

2006-08-09 20:20:45 2008 gives them time to finish the prequel game using the Halo 3 engine! ;) |

2006-08-09 20:21:43 Lets hope $175M ;) --- |

2006-08-09 21:07:18 $75M is a bit tight, but I remember Starship Troopers costed around $50M... and it's still better than Silent Hill's $40M budget. --- |

2006-08-09 21:17:17 That third world robocop wasn't comedy? :) --- |

2006-08-09 23:41:41 In reply to Acert93 (2006-08-09 23:35:44) Posted by Acert93 If he sticks to the script it should be killer. The script was great IMO. I love Halo's lore, but I'm skeptical..everyone hyped Silent Hill to holy hell and back--and ya know what? It's a pretty mediocre movie--then again as a measurement of a videogame film, mediocre is probably a complement. |

2006-08-09 23:51:48 My thought, he is better choice than Ridley Scott. This movie must be different, unusual, nonHollywood. He can also do some damage with small money (as seen from youtube). |

2006-08-09 23:59:24 Ridley Scott's directed a couple of the greatest sci-fi pictures ever though; and I really don't think it's fair to call Blade Runner and Alien your standard Hollywood fair..really, really unfair to even compare someone who has never done a feature film to someone who has one of the greatest track records ever. |

2006-08-10 00:20:09 In reply to GriftGFX (2006-08-09 23:41:41) Posted by GriftGFX Plus, the director (and cast) of a movie can easily take a good script and make a bad movie--it happens :P I love Halo's lore, but I'm skeptical..everyone hyped Silent Hill to holy hell and back--and ya know what? It's a pretty mediocre movie--then again as a measurement of a videogame film, mediocre is probably a complement. The other thing going for it is MS was very, very picky about who picked it up, who wrote it, etc. They have Peter Jackson on board (who was not super well known before LotR either) so there is always a chance. THIN chance... but we can hope. I hate it when movies of games are bad... --- |

2006-08-10 12:35:29 Great films, this boosts my confidence that Halo won't suck too much! |

2006-08-10 12:36:48 Yeah, i saw a link to it on HBO yesterday. --- |

2006-08-10 14:53:38 I just wish ILM was doing the VFX. Pirates of the Carribean 2 had amazing VFX. The squids tentacles and Davey Jones looked real. I read that they didn't even use prosthetics but had the actor doing his scenes normally in mocap suit. I liked the VFX in King Kong, but compared to ILM's best (when they're paid by other filmmakers, not George Lucas, who's cheap) they trounce WETA. Ironically, its possible that Peter Jackson and George Lucas are both cheap, and WETA is talented but underpaid by their owner to do work. I've only seen their work when working on PJ films, so we'll have to see. --- |

2006-08-10 19:25:17 The thing that I really think he might do trouble in is combat. The combat in his videos look really iffy. |
| SimonM7 The other mod's bitch Since 1676 Days |
2006-08-10 19:59:51 ILM better than WETA? I find that hard to agree with after comparing Gollum to.. pretty much anything ILM can throw at it. In fact, the LoTR films on a whole look more believable than any over exposed CG blob ILM has going for it. Sure their stuff looks cool, but not even half realistic. --- |
