Re: Let's hope this doesn't turn into anything lik

: Sorry, I haven't enjoyed a Spielburg project since the 80's (though I haven't

: thanks.

: Even if you do like the guy, I don't understand why should you be excited
: he's involved with a Halo TV series... Wouldn't we have been much happier
: if we found out somebody who was passionate about Halo and had a
: brilliant idea for a show was involved?

Since the '80s he's directed Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, and Minority Report. You HAVE to have liked one of those, and even if you didn't, one of them almost certainly influenced something you did like. He was also instrumental in getting Band of Brothers going with Tom Hanks. He's doesn't have a 1.000 batting average, but the guy's still got it (I loved Lincoln, which granted is about as anti-Halo as a movie can be).

I wish 343i had more folks like yourself working for them; I've vouched for you in the past and I'd do it again. It's interesting seeing who from the community gets hired by these companies, sometimes. Sometimes they just want big names attached to the project. I think Blomkamp would've done an incredible Halo movie based off District 9 and his short he did.
