Who else thinks a movie based on Halo might be something to see?

I've been seeing the advertisements for the Xbox Halo games and keep thinking that it would possibly make a killer movie, if done right. Deep enough plot to make you care about following the movie, fight scenes, future technology and weaponry... ya I'd either see it in a theater or rent it from Netflix, even though I am not a Microsoft fan.

To be honest, I've never played Halo, I don't own an Xbox, own a PS3 and Wii but just can't get over a the overheat/failure issues or the fact I'd have to pay for connection, unlike PSN and Nintendo's Network, which are free.
I saw the TV advertisements for the Halo 3 game and thought "is this a new movie coming out?". I liked Transformers, haven't seen Rise of Cobra yet (something just seems... not there, dunno), Starship Troupers had a *little* less plot and story to make it a keeper (but if it's the only thing on TV, other than garbage then fine).

Not really a gamer, don't have that much time to invest. I'm into technology in a different way, working with servers, hardware, OS, permissions and the ever-present 3AM call that something broke. ;)

I totally agree. The Halo series has the potential to be an instant success! As long as we don't get Uwe Boll to direct it, (Uwe Boll is the genius responsible for the Postal movie and the total lack of respect for video game movies in Hollywood) then it would be great! Futuristic battles, one man stands alone to fight an unstoppable horde, sounds like Greek mythology. Sign me up for a tour of duty with this movie Chief!

I totally agree, I saw the commercial for halo 3 and at first I thought they were making a movie and with all the technology and special effects that we have today they could make it a kick *** movie. I would go see it

District 9 was originally supposed to be the Halo movie but the deal fell through.
