Seriously, when I first heard that Steven Spielberg was looking to handle the Halo movie I was just all sorts of perplexed.
One, I thought that role had already been offered to District 9’s Neil Blomkap.
Two, seriously…what’s Spielberg doing handling video game translations?
Three, aren’t video game translations supposed to suck out loud? What if this one turns out to be, you know, GOOD? Granted, this isn’t so much a video game adaptation as it is an adapation of a book based on a video game (the movie’s script is slated to center around The Fall of Reach), but that’s really just semantics. At its roots, this will be a Halo movie.
I’m not sure this will work out, but one thing’s clear, the whole thing will probably prove to be pretty interesting before it’s all said and done. Whether or not Spielberg can make a video game movie is up for grabs, but considering his array of successes, I’d figure he’s got a chance. Might be interesting to have a GOOD game movie to talk about for a change.
