Master Chief
Character » appears in 14 games
Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 a.k.a. "the Master Chief" is a SPARTAN-II Commando and is the cybernetically and surgically enhanced super-soldier protagonist of the Halo series.
Who would play the cheif in a movie?
How about Arnie? The chief doesnt have to say much anyway, and they can just put the voice in later. But when you think about it that way it could be just about anyone (except a midget, not sure a midget could pull off a 7ft super soldier.....)
I think they should go the Darth Vader route and have someone who fits the build be in the suit and then have a voice actor do the actual, erm, voice. Because I'm sure it would be easier to get one guy who's very tall do acting and one guy who's not so tall do the voice work. But I'm just assuming there.
Steve Downes, because he was the voice in the Halo series and its not like you'll see them anyway they'll be in a suit the whole time.
"gordan ramsey"lol
if you wanted chief to be a more "vocal" character this would be the way to go.
No one. Keep the voice of Steve Downes and don't show his face.
Which I guess is half the problem with that movie, it's hard to relate to character when you cant see their face.
"marbig said:that would be the only thing to make Master Chief an actual good character. Honestly though..anyone could if you go by what you get in the games...hes just in a suit the whole time, and says like 3 words. I feel like this though, so many movies based on video games either go off the entire wrong track and suck hard, try to be the same and still suck hard, or they reveal something you don't want to know. I would just wait for something dumb to happen...I think Jeff summed it up on the "good old days" of the hotspot when he said "Watch , they'll have him remove his helmet..and halo fans everywhere will cry. And under the helmet will be..Paul Walker.""I'm not really for an Halo movie, but what about Samuel L Jackson playing the chief? As long as he got to swear often.I've had it with these motherfucking Flood on this motherfucking Ring!"

How about Christian Bale?
"I'm Halo"
Today is second post five year new user day and I can guarantee I am not mentally deficient in anyway. Why not talk about this? You all know HALO is going to come back around in the production loop and somebody is going to do it. You can bet that 334 looks at blogs like this to ascertain what YOU want in a HALO film. Quit being so snide and actually put some info out there that they have to go on. Snide remarks go nowhere.

We don't like necromancers around these parts.
I had no opinion on this five years ago but after seeing Dredd I could totally handle Karl Urban up in this business.
Nobody. There won't be a movie folks. Halo was hot inside of gaming only...and that as five years ago. The games are decent, but Halo is not in the wider public consciousness anymore. Microsoft will do its low budget little made for TV/XBO stuff, but even that will lose money. Halo is over as something to leverage outside of gaming.
