About the Halo movie I recommend you check out this comment I found on District 9 on imdb.com
"After the feature film based on the Halo (2001) (VG) video game series which was to be directed by Neill Blomkamp fell through, producer Peter Jackson went to Blomkamp and offered him $30 million to make whatever he wanted. The result was this film."

I'm split on the cause of a MGS movie, seing as all (most) VideoGame Movies have turned out to be pure SHIT, (Don't Try And Deny It People) then I personally don't want them to Rape the reputation and honor of MGS...
Saying that I have another point on the subject..
Isn't the MGS games already made up like a movie??
Isn't that Hideo Kojimas style of making games?
Still... It would be kinda cool to see "Snake" go on in a real character, but what would be the story?
Will he still be fighting Liquid/Ocelot?
Who will be most fitting to shoulder the huge mantle of being Snake?
Sure I would like to see David Hayter do it, but he doesn't really look like Snake now does he..
That is some of the Major concernes with making VideoGame based movies...
Atleast that's what I think..
Because let's face it ,Hitman Fans and Max Payne Fans, (And other Game Fans) They REEEEEEEEEALLY Massacered the solid names and characters of Mr 47 and Max Payne.
That's my view on it...
