Not directly Halo-related, but somewhat important for the viewing of files on this site - Apple has released a Public Preview of QuickTime 7 for Windows. Go grab a copy today! Thanks, Sorahn. (Louis Wu 20:46:11 UTC) (permalink)
That Movie Script
More details on the Halo movie script, shopped to Hollywood studios yesterday - Frankie says it's pretty darn good. (The rumors, though, at places like Coming Soon (thanks, Saint [lpn]) and Gamespot (thanks, Savage Yoshi) are that the demands made by Microsoft - $10 million advance against 15 percent of the film's gross - are enough to have scared off New Line and Dreamworks already.) More when we know it! (Louis Wu 20:30:38 UTC) (permalink)
Eskimo
My goodness, I can be forgetful. Another vid passed through the Movie Peer Review Rating System last night; it's called 'Eskimo', and it was created by Jamie98s, recently in our news for his 28 Days Later re-enactment. Eskimo is a 4:25 long vid telling the story of a man's journey to find his eskimo friend. Warning: it does NOT have a happy ending. (Funny, maybe... but not happy.) You can grab it in WMP9 format (14.6 mb) or QuickTime format (14.5 mb). Enjoy! (Louis Wu 20:03:39 UTC) (permalink)
Keyes added to Cutscene Library
The Halo Cutscene Library now has the five cutscenes from Keyes available - a couple are quite short, but that's how it goes. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 17:39:22 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Tricking Tribute
anti noob created a really nice Halo 1 tricking tribute vid, grabbing some of the best moments from dozens of vids showing some of the best Halo tricks released, nicely put together. 13:16 long, 58 mb, DivX encoding. In addition to the thread on our forum, there's a thread at High Impact Halo - toss in your own 2 cents! (Louis Wu 10:55:10 UTC) (permalink)
Buckwheats
Johnny Suede pointed us to a link to his montage vid, Buckwheats. Lots of snipes, nicely timed to Drowning Pool's Bodies. 54 mb, MPEG1 format. (Louis Wu 10:34:46 UTC) (permalink)

ODST.net has put up a promo vid for their upcoming Summer League - you can find a link in this forum post. (Hehe - clever way to release a montage vid.) 11.2 mb, WMP9 format. (Louis Wu 10:05:50 UTC) (permalink)
Speed Runs and Dead Marines
Rockslider continues his long-term investigation into Halo, with a couple of suggestions for fun on Truth and Reconciliation. Good stuff! (Louis Wu 09:56:59 UTC) (permalink)
A Day at the Races - coming soon
Bloodmoon Studios is working on a new machinima project called 'A Day at the Races' - you can find the trailer for it on their website, or at That Weasel Television. The full movie (about 4 racers who have to deal with each other, as well as an evil villain) is coming soon. Check it out! (Louis Wu 09:50:06 UTC) (permalink)
Tea Bag.
Many, many people emailed us about yesterday's VG Cats comic - a new look at an old taunt. looks like Target4Hire was first. (Louis Wu 09:41:47 UTC) (permalink)
The Studio Stunt
Wow. So a couple of months ago, the rumor making the rounds was that a Halo script was being written for the big screen by Alex Garland, who wrote The Beach and 28 Days Later. And then we heard nothing. Until today. Defamer has a piece that says that couriers dressed up in Master Chief armor have been bringing the script around to all the major studios to be read (and bid on) today. If we get word on how this turns out, we'll be sure to let you know. Update: Looks like it didn't go over so well... an updated blog entry at Defamer suggests that the script... well, is not so good. Thanks, Anton P. Nym. (Louis Wu 01:30:19 UTC) (permalink)
