New Halo Movie Writer Talks Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
The Halo movie has a new scribe and is in re-writes. The original draft was inked by Alex Garland (The Beach), which led to the uber deal between Universal Studios, 20th Century Fox, Microsoft and Peter Jackson to create the picture.
The current draft is being penned by game-obsessed novelist DB Weiss (Lucky Wander Boy). Weiss talked to game site GameSetWatch about the adaptation, saying:
There will be the 5% on the fringe of any hardcore fanbase that get angry about any change you make to the source material. The truth is that novels, games, comics, and what-have-you are not usually ready to be slapped up on screen as-is. If you did do a 100% faithful version, 999 times out of 1000 it would be a mess, and even the 5%-ers would recognise as much.
Weiss is a sharp writer, a gamer and doesn't shave, so it's good to see that Peter Jackson and co. are trying damn hard to make this Halo movie work. Because if it doesn't, there's going to be more than 5 percent of people pissed off.
