'No plans' for a Halo movie, says Microsoft

4.6
Spartans never die, readers; they're just Missing In Action. Likewise, it seems that rumors of a movie based on the Halo series also will not die. This newest wave of rumors traces back to a since-deleted tweet from Production Weekly which, according to GamesIndustry International, stated, "The Halo project is a live-action feature-length digital produced by Ridley Scott."

It wasn't long before Microsoft put an end to the speculation, however. In a statement to Eurogamer, Microsoft said there were "no plans for a Halo motion picture at this time." This makes sense: getting a Halo movie off the ground has a long and troubled history, and Microsoft has already announced plans to create a Halo-branded television show with the assistance of Steven Spielberg.

Pitching audiences on a television show, a movie and an upcoming game would be a lot of plasma grenades to juggle.

It's hard to say the same for people who have never played the game or know what it's about.

Bloomy There were Halo movies?.. I didn't know that. It seems like everyone likes it, I'll have to check them out.


I dont think so i though they were animated movies, i think they are talking about a real one here.


It was an Anime min-series featuring 7 episodes. There was also a short film that was live action, it went for around 10-15 minutes.

If they play their card right with it, I think it could be really successful. Just look at how many people are fans of the Halo series, I don't see why most of them wouldn't watch one.

I liked the series I seen on Netflix (Forward onto down). I wish they would make a movie about a video game that was actually good.

Batable That kind of bums me out I have always wished there would be a movie it would be sick :'(


Me as well I think it would make for a great movie.


If they use the graphics and story that they've used before, they'd make millions.
