Two years later, Showtime’s corporate parent, ViacomCBS, announced the series would instead be one that belongs on its rebranded Paramount+ streaming service. As Showtime Networks co-president Gary Levine put it at the 2019 Television Critics Association summer press tour, “Our challenge on this series was to take a video game and make it into a character drama that belongs on Showtime.” (See our guide to “ 47 Video Game Movies Ranked Worst to Best.”)īut Paramount+ hopes to buck that tragic big-budget trend with a series based on Microsoft’s epic game franchise Halo. Even more recent, high-gloss, and faithful efforts seem to lose something in the translation. and FarCry have been the butt of jokes thanks to producers who take the title and little else from the source material. For years, feature film takes on beloved games like Super Mario Bros. Yeah, you heard me.Video game adaptations are tough.

It's supposed to be released in 2009, but was also supposed to be released how many other years also? So I am personally hoping they can get past whatever it holding them back, and hurry the hell up and make this damn movie because I don't know how much fricken longer I can wait before I get my panties in a bunch. Could you imagine if they made a Halo movie and just bombed it hard? How bad they'd look? They've got a huge name to represent and if they don't represent it well - I am sure that there will be a lot of unhappy people. Think about it - Bungie did an incredible job making these games, and finished it off with grade A work on the last game, Halo 3, that's a huge shadow that the people trying to create this movie are standing in. They've tried producing the movie - but did you see the graphics in just the pictures alone? How much that'd cost to use computer graphics and animation to make half of that look that good? They've been trying since early 2000s to produce this movie - and I wouldn't doubt if they've blown their budget each time to try and make this movie. I've noticed people commenting that no one wants to make it, and that it upsets them. Do you think this concept art is good inspiration for a Halo movie? I'm sure it'll happen, it may just take some time, maybe even a few years. Some have said that the Halo movie and even this script is dead in the water, but I just don't believe it. I'm expecting the buzz that these images will create might cause some Hollywood studios to take an interest again. I've been a supporter of the Halo movie all-along, even claiming that Neill Blomkamp's District 9 is being made as a way to prove to Microsoft that Blomkamp can make a big-budget sci-fi movie - or more specifically, the Halo movie. The reason why I'm featuring these is because they look great and are exciting for Halo fans to see. The story in the book follows the introduction of the Spartan soldiers and their fight on the planet Reach against the invading Covenant.

Latino Review say they put these out because they "figured the fans would get a kick out of it and appreciate the fact that there is a filmmaker out there refusing to give up and see a Halo film come to fruition." I'm on the supportive side and really hope this gets made - just look at these photos, wouldn't it be incredible to see them actually in a film? We've featured all five below, where they can be viewed in full by clicking each one.Ĭlockwise from top left: a scene that takes place halfway through the film (in space) a scene showing Spartan children in training (fences) the ending of the film where the first Halo game begins (purple planet) a scene showing Spartans fighting the Covenant (wide photo) the climax of the film where Master Chief is fighting on Reach to get Cortana (on the planet). The script by Beattie is based on the book of the same name, Halo: Fall of Reach. Definitely check these out - they look pretty damn good and should make you excited if you're a Halo fan. These have been hitting individually every week, but now we've got a comprehensive final look at all of them together in order to show you what Halo: Fall of Reach will hopefully look like, if it ever gets made. They were drawn by concept artist Kasra Farahani and are from various scenes in the script. As was explained originally, this isn't concept art for a movie that's actually in production, instead it's concept art that was attached to a spec script written by Stuart Beattie in order to try and sell it to studios. Over the last month, our friends at Latino Review have been debuting concept art for Halo: Fall of Reach.
