I'm not saying it's not possible for that film to still go ahead with the Garland script but it's not that likely. And I would much rather see a character story based on The Fall of Reach than just a movie adaptation of the first game.

It was already reported on IMDB that Alex Garland was paid $1 million by Microsoft to write an adaptation of Halo. Microsoft then sold the script to Universal for $10 million. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464037/ Um…this guy shouldn’t waste his time.

But it comes down too how close they follow the original material and how seriously the project is taken. A friend of mine was adamant about me reading the books and all the back history having to do with this main character and I have to say I was pretty impressed with the mythos and all the background built around The Master Chief and the whole Spartan Program. I really hope they go for broke with this project instead of giving us a cheapass MTV quick job. Halo has the makings of being a really “smart” and well-designed Sci-fi film or series.

I think simply by having it not be about the games, Microsoft might let it through. Once they see the money it'll make, they'd definitely greenlight a trilogy. This could be awesome.

That was always my biggest beef about the games, Nylund created this amazing universe behind the games that bungie basically ignored (until the very end of the last game).
