Warcraft Movie, no. Halo Movie, Yes

Why is hollywood trying to take video games and making it into movies? The reason being is that there apparently is nothing else. yahoo posted a news article about Sam Raimi planning on making a movie off of the video game World Of Warcraft. 

It's no wonder, then, that gamers and cinephiles alike are excited at the news of Spider-Man director Sam Raimi praising the big-screen possibilities of beloved multiplayer game, World of Warcraft. In a spirited MTV article exploring the problems behind video game movies, Raimi weighed in by explaining why games tend to be tougher to turn into compelling flicks than comics.


Of Course it was reported earlier this year that Halo would have a movie made after it. my response to that was that of happiness. Halo has a story-line, characters and everything needed to make a movie. Warcraft does not. i see no future for a Warcraft movie and i do not plan to see anything past an idea.


Hollywood screenwriter, Stuart Beattie, who was responsible for Gears of War screenplay for New Line Cinema last year, has written the new Halo script. Word says that Microsoft like it and that they are discussing possible plans for it to be made.
Bettie beleives the old style Halo movie incaration is dead and is ready to release his vision, Halo: The Fall of Reach, a prequel to the first game.  John Gaudiosi finds out what this vision is, in his interview for game daily.
