These game plots have such potential to be great films, but the producers always fuck them up by putting the shittiest actors/characters and dialogue in the films. Halo is a really cool concept, and could be a thrilling movie if done right, but I see so many ways they can fuck it up, and I'm thoroughly expecting them to do so...

executive producer, so he's investing money and business experience in it.

they'll probably still end up with some talentless euro with a funny name as director.

sort of related - but did anyone here actually think LOTR was a good set of films?

To me they just seemed like super expensive high quality production stuff - expensive music, expensive actors, expensive scenery, expensive effects, etc.

Just seemed kinda vacuous... I didn't really enjoy them at all. Was more like taking an expensive theme park ride.

Anyone else feel that way?

I liked the first, the second bored me, the third just lost me.

The Halo book was a spectacularly badly written ripoof of "Ender's Game".

"He'd won. He always won" :puke:

so is this the bigass news they were going to announce ?

its pretty cool, albeit he's indeed "just" the exec producer

anyways i think itll be really hard to actually make halo into a movie. just like marathon is; theres so much background information that doesnt get covered in the games (but do make the story so much more complex) that i cant see this being covered in a 2 hr movie

Cool, so not only has/will Welly become some sort of sad holiday destination for LotR nerds, Kong freaks, and The Lovely Bones diehards (pun intended), it will also see way more Halo players than any of us really want it to. I think Jackson's next film after Halo should be an original screenplay that doesn't come with a ready-made rabid fanbase. Just for the sake of the neighbours of course.

i thought they were a good set of films (though the last one was kind of eh...i've never seen a writer write himself more into a corner than tolkien).

also youre right that it was high quality production but they werent really that expensive given the scale of the project. for example, the actors werent expensive. in fact a lot of people praised the fact that most of them were "unknown" or relatively unknown. they didnt just stick the biggest actors in town in the movies.

i thought the movies were fun, the characters were interesting, the world was engaging and detailed, the scenary was nice, the music was well done, the acting was superb, the direction was good, and the story for the most part was nice.

but above all else the movies were just fun and enjoyable to watch. they are great adventure movies.

i thought the first was very good. the second, was a bit boring. not because of boring action, but mostly because of the scenery. while the first had things like a forest , the second had more along the lines of a forest

the visuals felt unfinished for some reason

erm, not really. the lynch dune was a travesty, the TV dune had pisspoor production values, bad design and terrible acting. only children of dune was any good imho

a dune trilogy of all 6 novels would be brilliant, but i wouldn't pick jackson to do it. not sure who i *would* pick but jackson's not the right choice

everything except the war scenes sucked hard. No one wants to watch hobbits bond, elves cry because they're boyfreinds aren't immortal, and that faggot with the red hair play the same role he's played his whole life.

nope. sounds almost like we watched two different trilogies tbh. LOTR was low budget for the scale of it, and was probably the least vacuous sfx-heavy i've ever seen.

I wouldnt make Dune again, The lynch Dune was good enough. Its a cult classic.


It would be like making the Original Star Treks\wars over again



But then it'll probably happen since Hollywood is running out of ideas.................
