Not sure if this was posted or not, if so, just ignore this. Just saw this: http://videogames.yahoo.com/newsarticle?eid=509460&page=0
Considering the game has virtually no plot, this film could be good. I say that because no plot means the producers are given a freer hand to do what they want. Unlike Resident Evil. Which had a plot... which the producers decided to ignore, making it, well, kinda poop. And another thing, as long as Uwe Boll doesn't direct, the films chances of being good go up astronomically.
That is not saying much considering, if expressed numerically, it would be starting in the negatives w/ Boll directing.
A movie of this nature is doomed to fail. If you can't get a guaranteed hit (if done well) with Halo off the ground, I can't imagine this getting serious finacial backing from New Line.
