QuoteLatino Review got themselves a copy of Alex Garland's multimillion-dollar script for the film adaptation of computer game hit "Halo" and their reviewer takes a very in-depth look at it. Amongst the scenes we'll see on film:
- There is a Beach attack sequence between the Marines and the Covenant. MC pilots the warthog - the multi terrain four-wheel vehicle and we get to see MC driving ability. We see the Grunts use the needlers in this sequence too.
- Inside Halo, the Marines are ambushed by the Stealth Elite who brandish their energy swords and literally cut their enemies in half. Cool sequence.
- Later we see the FLOOD INFECTION FORMS - each the size of a football, bloated, propelled by a seething carpet of small tentacles on the underside on the underside of its main form. We also see the horror and goriness of the Flood infection vessels upon the infected marines and Covenant.

Hmm, sounds interesting. I hope it won't suck as most video game movies do (did anyone even bother with Doom?).
Big budget, big names. Doom3 i suppose had the same, but i doubt the peeps behind Halo will to a lame ass FPS scene.
