No More Halo for Peter Jackson

[LaBambaMan]

District 9 looks like an amazing film, and if it took the Halo movie never getting off the ground to get it to us then great!

Besides, why even do a live action Halo movie? Just do a CGI movie and use the original voice cast, that way you don't piss off the fanboys(although they'll still find something to ***** about, that's what fanboys do).

So in short: yay District 9, fuck you Halo, and if Peter Jackson tries to make District 9 into a trilogy that lasts 67 hours then I will stab him in the eye with a rusted spork.

You can't really connect to a masked character

Yeah, nobody latched onto that Darth Vader guy. /sarcasm

(V was pretty effective too. It can be done; you just need the right actor behind the mask and a good voice.)

OK, I admit V was a character you could connect with partly when he explains what he went through in the prison in which he was detained. But I think V is a more symbolic character who represents rebellion and the fight for what's right. I don't think we're supposed to think of him like we think of Evey.

As for Darth Vader we couldn't really connect to him until the last moments of "Return of the Jedi" when he reveals his face and reconciles his bond with Luke. The prequel trilogy helps us further connect with him as we explore his fall to the dark side.

When "A New Hope" was first shown in cinemas I think that people just saw him as just a bad guy. Made mysterious by his body suit.

Oh well. The Halo movie probably would have sucked anyway for having to have anyone else but Master Chief being the protagonist.

They weren't going to have him because they said that not being able to see his face made him difficult to "relate" to.
