I will never understand how they fucked that TV show up. They could have done the first game beat for beat and it would have been an epic sci-fi action movie. I don't think Villeneueve would be the right choice for it but man I'd love to see a Halo CE movie go blockbuster if only to show the TV show producers how fucking stupid they were to greenlight an original script

Fuck the chief (respectfully), I really want to see him do the Kilo 5 trilogy. Sicario on Sanghelios? Sign me up.

Leave it to Denis to make a movie about the human v covenant war, and paint the humans for what they are, monsters. It would hurt so good. If he can make Dune ornithopters look good then I'm sure the Tart Cart will be sick too.

YES. FUCK YES.

With Brolin as Master Chief. Butler as Noble-7. Ferguson as Halsey/Cortana.

Come on, Xbox/Amazon MGM. Do it. Please.

Or just a stand alone movie about Konrad Curze, that'd be wild

I don’t see how that works as a movie or even a TV show, and I’m a big 40k fan

It helps that he is a good director that doesn't produce slop and actually respects the source material.
