I remember seeing Jackson at Comic-Con discussing his path to a Halo movie and that it was difficult to get the go-ahead (i think because the budget was immense)
But this may in fact already be beyond that point. I anticipate a flop, to be perfectly honest

ohhh, i hope this goes through cause it would be amazing to see.

And Hasbro has its finger in the pie now too so more than just the film studio is behind this

ohhh yea. i hope they follow one of the planeswalkers like elspeth or alara. which one would you want them to follow and why?

I just know it's gonna be bad. I hope it's good, but I know...

Same. That's the stigma of adapting an entity to the big screen that doesn't have a central character(s). Look at the Final Fantasy (Spirit Within?) movie. No recognizable characters and it was garbage.

Special effects outlet (like magic and monsters) + fanbase = easy excuse to pump out cgi garbage and make a quick buck (or million bucks)

They should be forced to watch the Dungeons and Dragons movie a few hundred times and then reassess whether they still want to do this or not.

Seriously though I want this! Even if they mess up the history of the planes that BotGs trailer was epic!!!

Reading the article, I love how it says 'on the scale of Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings.

You know how they should do this. Follow the life of one planeswalker per movie, eventually meeting up to fight those eldrazi.

I dunno, I feel like it is going to suck, but if Fox follows lore and everything. I will be happy. Just don't botch it up Fox, please.
