| A statement from El Mayimbe about the Halo Script | |

Howdy Folks! El Mayimbe here. With all the Halo madness going on around the planet because of our story I feel I have to make an announcement. First I want to offer my apologies to the filmmakers and people involved with Silent Hill and Hitman. There was a lot of confusion which I want to clear up. First of all, that Hack Uwe Boll is nowhere near Silent Hill nor Hitman. I didn't even mean to put those two films in the same sentence as that guy. My statement was taken out of context. What I meant to say is that talk of all those other video game movies like those I mentioned or coming or any of the other Uwe Boll adaptations like Postal and Bloodrayne. Silent Hill has an awesome shooter in Cristophe Gans and the script for Hitman is currently being written. I'm sure those two movies will turn out fine. All I am merely saying in my opinion because of the level of quality surrounded with Halo, that Halo will be the 800 pound gorilla to beat which will most likely set the standard for video game movies which all others will be measured against. That's all. No disrespect to Silent Hill or Agent 47 himself Hitman. My bad folks. Now to all you Halo non-believers and talkbackers out there. I can't believe people actually believe that my script is fake. The script isn't fake. Hell no man. I have been doing script reviews for the longest now and have the most reliable sources within the industry who have supplied me with my scripts for the longest. The Halo script is no different than the others I have gotten. I get screenplays on an almost daily basis. Some are bigger than others and eventually every hollywood movie that comes form a script, that script is put into a "system" where you have to work and make your living in the business side of the movie industry like myself to access these screenplays. I just didn't get the Halo script from some Mom and Pop shop in Hollywood, I got the script from my always credible sources. Nobody has that kind of time to write a "fake" screenplay. I don't personally believe in fake scripts being put out there within the industry. Any other Hollywood insider with the access like mine that gets the Halo script will more than likely get the one I had because that is the one within the "system" Do scripts change? It's called the development process which for the most part in my opinion have made great scripts mediocre. I think as a majority, the development process is counterproductive. Will the Halo script change? Absolutely and the Halo script will change here and there but we at Latinoreview believe that the story we presented in the draft dated Feburary 6th, 2005, 128 pages, writeen by Alex Garland, will be the bulk of what the story is about. In Staten's last great Hollywood journey entry, he said revisions where coming. Part of my dismay as a script reviewer is that some great scripts that we review end up becoming lousy like the 50 cent movie for example. Read my review of the film tomorrow and check out my script review of Get Rich or Die Tryin' as an example. But my scripts are the real deal. I am not some fraud. All the major film sites around the planet link to my script reviews because they know I'm legit. So for all you Halo fans that are in denial, snap out of it. I stand by my story. The Halo script I got is real and I publicly dare Bungie to challenge me otherwise. Hasta El Proximo Capitulo.... YO SOY EL MAYIMBE! I also posted this update also at the bottom of the Halo script review. | |
