Without warning, the nightmare faded, leaving dark stains on my soul that would never come off. I felt like I was flatlining. I was all shook up; my head felt two sizes too small for my brain. I woke up in a cold sweat, sick and tired to the bone.
In a nightmare, every decision you make is the wrong one. In the dream I had exploded from, that decision was to take up an offer I couldn't refuse; tickets for Halo: The Movie.
Penned by the talented hand behind 28 Days Later, Alex Garland. Produced by the king of epic, nerdcore films, Peter Jackson. Guided by the full creative control of my lord and masters at Bungie themselves. Backed by the bottomless pockets of Microsoft. There is no possible way for the film adaptation of the greatest shooter of all time to, as the kids like to say, suck.
So why, in this night terror, was I watching Jeff Bridges assume the role of Master Chief?
And I could see his face. .
I could see his FACE. .
(This announcement pleases me. Hellboy may have sucked, but it was well directed)

But he also wrote the Hellboy script. Blade 2, which he didn't write was kick ass, so hopefully Halo will be too since he did'nt write that either.
Still prefer a James Cameron type though.

This seems like a good fit... I've always gotten the impression Halo was sorta the Spike TV of FPS games, so the director of Blade II and Hellboy and Mimic seems like a good match. That said, I'd probably despise the movie, but it does sound like a good match that'll produce something that the Halo fans and mindless action fans will adore. And just so we're clear, there's nothing wrong with mindless action, it's just not something I really enjoy all that much (though it's great for sitting in front of the TV and hammering out some homework or something).

Interesting director and his films are great for mindless action and loudness but it's a weird mix with him and Peter Jackson producing!
Oh really? I'm so there. But Blade 2 probably wouldn't be as cool as it was if Donnie Yen did do the fight scenes.

As long as it's not Uwe with his exploitive ways, child hands, and Midas touch, then it's all good.

I like DorkmanScott's response.
"Now we're going to get Harry comparing Halo to a massive cock-ring and other unnecessary sexual comparisons when he reviews the film. Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the flick, and if Del Toro directs with Jackson producing the odds of suckage are exponentially decreased from whatever they may have been. I just hope Harry can review with some professionalism. At least we'll be sure to get plenty of updates."
