   “Hollywood rarely makes its game adaptations into actual movies”

   What? There have been dozens of games, what’s happening recently is it’s being harder for games to be made into movie lately due to budget reasons and/or other reasons.

   its more likely that they’re buying up rights so other studio’s wont make something half good and get money out of it, look at the halo movie of what 3-4 years ago which never happened (that i know of)

      That was because MS wouldn’t give up creative control, not because some studio bought the rights with no intention of making the movie just to prevent others from doing it.

         I wouldn’t be surprised if it was also because Hollywood types feel that a laconic, faceless, unkillable cyborg death god isn’t relatable to mainstream movie audiences. That, and trying to get an actor to play a role without showing their face is like convincing a cat to take a bath.

            “That, and trying to get an actor to play a role without showing their face is like convincing a cat to take a bath.”

            Tell that to David Prowse, who curiously enough, fills the “laconic, faceless cyborg death god” pastiche pretty well.

            Otherwise… Halo, as a character-driven story, is terribly overrated. It would need to be told from an ODST/GI abngle to be worth watching, let alone making.
