On a whim I decided to check and see if there was any news on the Halo movie that is supposed to be made here real soon. I read on a couple sites that it is slated for a release this summer? Is that correct? I haven't heard diddley squat about the movie in ages. I wasn't even sure if they were still making it.
Which brings me to my next question. Given the fact that Mr. Lord of the Rings himself is producing it and "heading" the visuals, what are the chances that this movie is not going to go the way of many video game movies before it: Silent Hill, Tomb Raider, and ....Mortal Kombat?
If this has already been covered, because I did do a search, please feel free to degrade and humiliate me with slurs of "n00b", "OLD!", and "STFU".

I believe it got cancelled a while back. Production was halted at least.
They already did that with Mortal Kombat 2
I'M A TWITTER SHITTER
Yeah, Street Fighter was the biggest slap in the junk movie ever made….EVER.
in my world, there is no sequel
Last I knew, they were *hoping* it'd get picked up, but nothing has happened yet. I'm pretty sure it's still completely dead for the time being.
Production was ceased, but it's not entirely dead. As for the funding, it wasn't so much as a "lack" of funds as it was Fox and Universal Studios (both studios who co-opted to make the film, jointly) started to get things in motion when they realized "holy fuck, we can't swing these price tags".
Basically, when Microsoft optioned the script, they put in a clause that basically demanded the agreeing studio(s) empty its coffers and not to skimp on anything that might dilute the finished product. They wanted to blank checks and instead they got blank stares.
I'm there.
I got that on DVD for 5 bucks a few years ago at Best Buy. Totally worth it. I put that in the DVD player whenever I need cheering up.
The Wizard is still the best Video game related movie, though.

I really don't accept much debate on this matter.
And also: fuck Silent Hill so hard. You have everything going for you. You looked beautiful, you sounded beautiful, and you could have become a classic horror film.
I fucking loathe that movie for starting with so much potential and falling on its face so unbelievably hard.
Without a doubt. Didn't they use that movie to unveil the existence of SMB 3?
Then again, I like Street Fighter, so my opinions're nothing if not unusual.
My favorite game movie is Resident Evil, by far. Original story = win. (Which is why Apocalypse was so much worse. "Let's copy the game's story this time!")
Ya it was amazing to see in theatres as a kid. I was like omg no way super mario 3!!! Of course I remembered all the secrets they did and put them to good use a month or two later when super mario 3 actually came out. That movie blew me away as a kid.
P.S. Theres no way someone would just randomly decide to crouch only on a white box, that makes absolutely no sense!
The first Mortal Kombat movie is pretty good as far as near-plotless kung fu flicks go. Raul Julia must be the laughing stock of the Actor Afterlife, that Street Fighter atrocity was his last movie before he died, poor bastard.
You really think that's why Resident Evil Apocalypse was so much worse?
Did you leave before the sword fight?
Still stuck on Street Fighter though.... I mean come on, Guile was not even American...he was French.
"These colors don't run!"
The fact that it was Raul Julia's last movie ever was a heartbreaker (pardon the pun).
I endured the whole film.
When the only good part of the movie is someone like Mike Epps' lines, you know there's issues.
And yeah, Raul Julia deserved a better final film. But he was awesome as Bison, like the film or not.
I like that world.
Also, I liked the RE movies.
Edit - haha... just remembered the Wizard. That was the best commercial *ever*.
I am a freaking nerd.
I've always been of the opinion that a Resident Evil that stuck much closer to the original game could have been classic.
No, not more macho Aliens ripoff shit. A slowly paced horror mystery taking place between a small group of frequently isolated individuals in a horribly oppressive environment. Plus, fucking monsters and zombies.
Hahah.. yeah the guy's expression right before slice and dice was priceless.
I am a freaking nerd.
This fact is even worse than the movie itself - he was such a great actor and it's a shame his life (and career) ended on such a shitty film.
Then again, past experiences show that Umbrella's military do, in fact, suck.
And in spirit of Raul Julia, I broke out two old friends.
She BOXED. With NEMESIS.
Why is she boxing with Nemesis? If Pyramid Head was all up in your face, would you box with him?
It depends. Is Pyramid Head packing the sword or is he gloved up and ready to go?
Pyramid Head was perfect.
It's too bad Gans did not follow SH ever more closely. I wished he'd do Silent Hill 2 and NOT CHANGE ANYTHING so we can see Pyramid Head in all his horrifying glory.
last i heard, he is doing SH2. My suggestion for the plot, Sean Bean goes to Silent Hill in search of Rose, and we learn about his dark and brooding past. I think it would work, and possibly pull back some fans (i enjoyed the first, to be honest, although i can recognise its flaws).
Also, the Halo film has to be made, as far as i'm concerned. After seeing Blomkamp's work, i was giddy with anticipation to see how it'd look under his direction, with some WETA goodness.
And this time, they need to let Yamaoka do the music. The only reason #1's music was so good was because half of it was his.
Motherfucker, NO BEAN, NO ROSE, NO CULTS (the cults suck in the games too anyway), NO SILENT HILL 1. Don't make me cut you.
Far worse version from an old codec PS contest:
The guy who played Sagat was in The New World, though. I recognized the name.
The rest of the cast? Who knows.
