'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.

I can really see a halo movie being popular, since there's a lot of fans already plus if they do decide to make one, it would bring a lot of popularity into the next halo game when they release it.

There is already a halo movie out. I saw it while I was scrolling through Netflix. I haven't watched it yet though because I'm afraid I'll just be wasting away an hour and a half of my precious life.

Int
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.


There is a Halo movie on Netflix, if you ask me though it wasn't that good. It was very dull without a lot of action.

Crowns I wonder how this would have turned out..


It would of been a huge hit or miss if you ask me. The concept is good, what would make or break it is the execution
