I would be unhappy to see an actor chosen as Master Chief. I would much rather prefer a CGI. When I boot up Halo and start gunning down people, I don't want an image stuck in my head of his ugly face. Master Chief has that "can't touch this" feel to him.

CGI is the worst thing to ever happen to film.

well they never show his face in the game so hopefuly they wont feel the need to show it in the movie either.

would save some $$ by not puting anyone famous in there and just have a good stuntman.

@Downfall: Stuntmen usually make lousy actors. Look at Jackie Chan for example. He performs all the stunts in his movies. Hell he even directs them by the most part. Now look at his acting capabilities. Not very reassuring, to say the least.

True, but it's Master Chief. All he has to do is kick ass, not too much skill required given the fact that he never shows his face.

it isnt the cgi that ruins the movies, its how the cgi is USED... for ex. look at star wars IV, it looks great, but in phantom menace and whats its name part 2 the cg citys and stuff looked like, "hey its the looney tunes".

That's exactly what I meant....just didnt feel like typin it out.

It's way overused and never mimics the actual lighting properly, thus making it stand out and obviously fake. It looks great for effects but is HORRIBLE when used to create something organic.

0_o Master Chief is the character you play in Halo (although they bastardized the game by letting you play the covenant side in Halo 2).

Ray Park. He would be the only one that could pull it off. I think we've all seen him play a moody character that doesn't talk much and is generally a badass. Keep in mind that he did all of the fighting, the backflips and the stunts himself.

Screw live action, pay attention to the depth and detail in this trailer.. this is how a Halo movie should be done.

If they stick close to the games story, and use CGI + original master cheif voice actor, then, and only then would it kick ass.

he does backflips when someone uses a rocket launcher on yo' face. even the handgun is quite effective when it comes to that.

No their mouths barely open when they speak. It looks like they just had micheal jackson like surgery. I wasn't even talking about the sync.

Appleseed looks boring as hell, and the characters don't seem interesting at all and the plot seems to be non existent but the animation is kick arse. I don't think the cg anime characters are done right though, theres something odd about the way they look.

an anime that many consider to be a classic. has spawned 2 movies and a series, an old Ps1 game based off the 1st movie that was fun and a newer one based off the series that isnt that great.

one of the best animes made if ya ask me :)

but back ontopic. i still havent played halo 2.

but the movie better be damned good. A lot of poeples expectations will be very high for this and I think that will dissapoint many in the end

I would personally wait until halo 3 comes out
and then dissapoint them with a movie
