quote: Halo Goes Hollywood Microsoft hires writer for game adaptation. February 03, 2005 - In an unorthodox move that's sure to raise some industry eyebrows, Microsoft (developer Bungie's corporate overlord) has hired screenwriter Alex Garland (28 Days Later, The Beach) to adapt its hit videogame series Halo for the big screen. Variety reports that Garland signed a million-dollar deal with the tech giant. Garland's finished screenplay will reportedly be offered to studios as a complete "turnkey" script and rights package. The trade adds that Microsoft isn't expected to be involved beyond the script development stage Hollywood took notice of the property when the recently released Halo 2 smashed sales records. As IGN readers will know, the game centers around Master Chief, a genetically enhanced super-soldier who is the only thing standing between the relentless Covenant and the destruction of all humankind.

oooo...

Wasn't there a Doom movie in the works? Where they weren't going to be set on Mars?

It was a fun movie to watch, but that's because I actually knew who the hell the characters were and what they represented. If I hadn't played the video game then I would have been in the dark.

I had to look that word up. Still not sure what it means exactly. Isn't bisexual the same thing. Or pansuxual could mean to include beastiality and necrophilia. I'm not into those things. In any case, I cannot deny my attraction to women. Esp. Hilary S**** after watching her recent movie (see my avatar). She gained 20 pounds for the film.

whoops. sorry for the threadjack. back to video game movies that suck.

androgynous means people can't tell if you're a guy or girl.

Mortal Kombat - that's a good kung fu movie right there, no thinking necessary and it's fun to watch.
