Support NeoGAF

[Nakazato]

Xbox Cinematic Universe (Master Chief shows up after the credits)

Lol

 

[Betty]

Sure they are.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Michael Fassbender as Anya.

 

[dab0ne]

Star ship troopers with locust and I'm in.

 

[Strike]

I remember someone else trying to do this a few years ago and nothing came out of it. It could be a decent popcorn flick if done right

Spoiler

(if it doesn't get stuck in development hell and they actually get a decent screenwriter/director).

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Could be great if they make it a full on 80's action movie style. 18 rated of course.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Xbox Cinematic Universe (Master Chief shows up after the credits)

I'll support anything that leads to a new Blinx game.

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

Terry crews as ....da cole train baby

No....

Lester Speight

He's Cole Train anyway. Look it up.

 

[Xater]

Xbox Cinematic Universe (Master Chief shows up after the credits)

Then at the end of the Halo movie Master Chief crash lands on a mysterious planet where everything has googly eyes and meets Conker.

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

Another dumb war movie.

 

[brandonh83]

del Toro would be perfect for this, he can direct action and his grasp of art direction and creature creation would be highly beneficial.

Then again, if del Toro signed on, it would definitely be cancelled.

 

[jett]

The way Rod's explaining how it can't just be a movie for gamers is exactly why Warcraft and others weren't very good. I'll stay cautiously optimistic.

???

The Warcraft POS was like something explicitly made for the fans and nobody else.

 

[Bsigg12]

You know what, thus could be good as long as they nail the casting for Marcus and Dom, assuming it's based on the first game(s).

 

[Brandon F]

"Eat shit and die!" to be on every poster...

 

[LycanXIII]

It'll come out the same time the Spielberg Halo series comes out.

 

[SFenton]

Also, props to Universal for trying big budget game adaptations twice. Are they the only one so far?

(Yes, I know Warcraft was mainly a Legendary/Alibaba gig but w/e)

 

[wesleyshark]

wooooooooooooooooo baby

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nice...

Yep, that's what I said Rod was saying that he didn't think it should be done that way and I agree with him.

Wasn't this already in the works before? I feel like I heard this news years ago.

Heh okay.

Paul Walker is probably not faking any more roles...

 

[AlStrong]

Idris Elba as the locust

 

[brandonh83]

Heh okay.

Probably could've worded my post better tbh

Also, Steve Jablonsky scored GOW2 and maybe 3, don't remember, but he's a fantastic composer and Hollywood composer as well. That seems like more than an obvious pick to me.

 

[SilentRob]

World, Story and Characters were always the biggest weaknesses of this series in my opinion...so, eh?

 

[Bishop89]

Gears is the only Xbox franchise I like. I love that series so I'm very happy about this. They better not screw this up.



It's time Travolta, your time has come

 

[Blam]

I wouldn't mind seeing it.

 

[Vinc]

The Rock as everybody. Oh man, I'd love to watch that movie.

 

[Cranster]

I look forward to the cancellation thread.

I LOL'd.

 

[brandonh83]

Dude that voiced Cole was in Transformers 3... and Jablonsky scores those movies too.

Michael Bay will direct won't he

 

[BakedTanooki]

What i want in this movie: big ass muscles and necks, meat, gore, a hilarious "emotional moment" and stupid / funny one liners

 

[JayEH]

Add it to the list of game movies in "development".

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

No, they're not.

There have been scores of these. Reams. Tables full. Remember that Halo movie(s)? Mass Effect? Sims?

Unless Fassbender pulls a miracle with AC, these will continue to be "in development" for time immemorial.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Sure they are. They were developing a God of War movie about 9 or 10 years ago as well. I expect this will go roughly the same.

 

[blakep267]

Rampage Jackson would have to be coletrain

 

[Smokey_Run]

Hopefully it doesn't end up in development hell like it did years ago when the Underworld director was attached to it.

 

[Jawmuncher]

It's been at Universal for years. Nice to see it moving again.

 

[xam3l]

I expect a fun cheesy movie.

I actually hope that at least its fun and cheesy.

 

[jelly]

Game IP could be the next big thing if studios are struggling for ideas and the comic overload. There just needs to be that 'Iron Man' 'Spiderman' success with game IP.

 

[Plesiades]

I still remember when Len Wiseman was attached...

*ship appears out of the sky and lands*
Marcus: you mind telling me what your doing on that ship
Master chief : finishing this fight

Credits roll

 

[Acorn]

I'll make sure to see the double feature with Halo in 2072.

 

[Oersted]

Could someone explain to me what the source material has what would make a good movie?

 

[Acorn]

Recognised IP

Eh that's it.

 

[soul creator]

Xbox Cinematic Universe (Master Chief shows up after the credits)

Well, there's a reason for the Voodoo Vince Remaster

 

[Polk]

I can't believe a Gears movie could happen before a Halo one.

It's way easier to make movie where you see actor face, not just helmet.

 

[Meier]

Wasn't this already in the works before? I feel like I heard this news years ago.

First announced as a project in 2007. Popped back up with news in 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013.

It's an almost certainty that it doesn't actually get made.
