Film
In 2005, a script for a film adaptation of Halo was written by Alex Garland[100]—which D. B. Weiss and Josh Olson rewrote during 2006[101][102]—for a 2008 release. The movie was to be developed and released by 20th Century Fox, under the creative oversight of Microsoft.[103] Peter Jackson was slated to be the executive producer,[104] with Neill Blomkamp as director. Before Blomkamp signed on, Guillermo del Toro was in negotiations to direct.[105]

The crew stopped and resumed preproduction of the film several times.[106] Blomkamp declared the project dead in late 2007,[107] but Jackson replied that the film would still be made.[108] Blomkamp and Jackson collaborated on District 9, but the director told /Film that he was no longer considering working on a Halo film if the opportunity arose,[109] saying that after working on the film for five months before the project's collapse it would be difficult to return. The rights for the film have since reverted back to Microsoft.[110]

Blomkamp commented the Master Chief worked from a video gamer's perspective, but dramatically does not hold much weight because of his faceless nature. The character as depicted in the film would have been "the most important supporting cast member". Instead, "other characters around him [...] did most of the emotional heavy lifting", with their story exploring their perception of the Master Chief.[111] After Jackson's project stalled, Stuart Beattie wrote a film adaptation of The Fall of Reach, complete with concept art.[112] While there have been rumors that director Steven Spielberg was in talks to produce Halo,[113] Microsoft has responded that the film is still on hold.[114]

Was honestly completely different than what I thought it was. I was thinking that the aliens had brought some type of disease, and was slowly spreading it across the population, and were like trying to take over the planet.  :lol

Yea, I honestly thought it was good. In a very interesting sort of way.

Would a sequel be like "District 10 - They come back in Force!" or something? :lol

It was OK the South African Accents wears a bit thin after a while. Quite a few people walked out about 10 minutes in to it though.

I can't really see how you would change that. The long island accents (and popped collars, and blow-outs) wore thin on me after being surrounded by them in college for 4 years, but there isn't a whole lot you can do about how someone else speaks...

Cheap cast, poor imagination, annoying shaking camera effect  and ends without an end,i thought was a commercial break,looks  like they went bankrupt before finishing the movie.  I find any episode from Stargate series more entertaining.

After all the hype I saw it last night and honestly, except for some of the special effects i thought it was awful.

I saw it and thought it was pretty good.  Not the greatest movie ever, but a decent film to see in a theater.  If you don't have a good sound system for your TV, you might want to as well.  I didn't feel like I wasted my money...
