Fan made H3 machinima re-creates Blomkamp's 'Landfall'
Back in 2007, movie director Neill Blomkamp put together a three piece spectacle of Halo-sized proportions called Halo: Landfall. The all live action video was a glimpse of what the (now dead) Halo movie could have been if Blomkamp's movie magic were applied.
Well, two enthusiastic Halo fanboys took it upon themselves to re-create the entire Landfall film experience as a machinima using Halo 3's game engine. Admittedly, UNSC soldiers are swapped out for Spartans and Brutes are replaced with Elites, but other than that, the video is spot on. Oh how we miss the days when our Halo film dreams were still a possibility ... sigh.

so is the film officially not being made. cause i have a friend (yey) that seems to think otherwise. And IMDB says its due out in 2012, which is a bit late if you ask me.

Users can submit info to IMDB. So, take it with a grain of salt.

tahnk you very much mr xav, yeah i had heard it was canned. but with the imdb thing there i wasnt to sure, to be fair i think theyve missed the boat now any way. even if it did come out like next year or something. halo ness has kinda died down now. not the playing it online. just the ooo halo ness,
i hope that makes some kind of sense. to many beers, tis 4am. why arnt i sleeping,

Even though I'm not a Halo fan (games were alright, but couldn't play 2 or 3 through more than once and hated multiplayer on all of them), having a suit like that would just be awesome :D

I'd be okay with an entire movie done via machinima.
Especially if RVB are involved.

Hey, will this be a mission in ODST. That would be awesome.

I can't stand Halo soldier uniforms... Is the future of warfare like BMX and Motocross?

Yes.

Impressive stuff. I could suggest improvements but that would be nit picking.

Bravo zulu! Very well done!
I agree with Chad...an entire movie like that would, if done properly, be amazing.

I wish they hadn't canned the Halo movie. They could have done so much with it by starting it off from the first book where Master Chief was growing up then go on from there.

sorry to nitpick, but neill blomkamp is *not* a film director. the only things he has done are some shorts, and some commercials.
