: The action scenes in FUD were short enough that my hands weren't itching to
: grab the controller and do it myself but a two hour movie of the chief
: kicking ass would be torture. :-) And I wouldn't want a two hour movie of
: marines talking to each other about: duty, sacrifice, and honor. No
: thanks.

: But maybe Joss Wedon could make a Halo TV series where outer colony rebels
: could eke out a living on the wrong side of the law. I suspect you know
: who the cast would be...

: But, seriously, something set on venezia showing humans and ex-covies
: performing heists on inner colony worlds, occasional run-ins with UEG
: police, shady ONI entanglements, hard-core insurrectionists, nutty
: religious fringes. There might be some millage there. But that's not
: actually a movie.

: Maybe Venezia was a Forerunner world. We don't see Forerunner artifacts
: because that's too yawn. But perhaps we get flashbacks to the Forerunner
: colony in the later stages of the Flood assault on the galaxy and see what
: life was like for ordinary Forerunners in those dark days.

: I'm sure there are more stories in the Haloverse than have been told to date.

While not perfect, I think the Halo movie script by Garland did a good job of balancing action, world building, and some of the random spice of Halo (ancient worlds! humor!) for a film adaptation. I also think Vocif's fan script, while not as good an overall script, did a good job of laying out how you could adapt the trilogy well.

I do think the chance for a Halo movie has passed, and in some ways that's for the best. Plenty of other stories and mediums. Still interested in what that Spielberg-produced show ends up being, I feel like at this point it's got to have changed drastically.
