'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.

UMF I may be wrong, but isn't Forward Into Dawn a Halo movie?


Yes that's what I was thinking.


But I would love to see a show of some sort.

It'd be weird seeing a Halo movie especially if Chief wasn't voiced by the original actor.

I would prefer if they made a movie but a TV show about Halo also sounds sweet, hopefully the TV show comes out soon (:

I don't think a move would be good anyway.

WAW_ISO_HOSTER Please dont make one halo is bad


The game is good, but the idea of a movie is bad

I hope they don't make a Halo movie.
It could potentially ruin the franchise.

It makes more sense to wait until everyone is hyped over the tv show then they should start teasing a film when the tv show decides to take a break. I think a Halo movie would do well, but they'd have to be careful not to annoy fans.

Mck I'm hoping the Tv series is good and then possibly make a movie to to tell the story of how Master chief got to where he is ie before halo 1 :)


Yeah it does look pretty cool, hopefully it bridges the gap for future projects perhaps?

Wow I remember all those old rumors, they even made that live-action short movie which was really cool
