    I hope he does something amazing with it.

    Pretty beloved franchise, and his work has been incredibly inconsistent and spotty lately.

    People who claim to be creative, should start creating, something new.

    Hollywood latches onto an idea and goes at it like a otter after a dead baby seal. You had your fun, it's done, let it go.

    If it's what people want to see and there's money to be made it will be made. I'd rather him do it than the guy who does all those resident evil movies.

    We will just have to wait and see if it turns out good or not. Here's for hoping!

    Crossin my fingers on this one.
    I like how the principle game developers are in on this. That should help keep things together.

    Ridleys had a few misteps latley, prometheus, robin hood, the counsellor (it was ok...). But i think hes still got a few more great movies in him. Im happy hes embracing scifi again. One of the better directors around even if not recently.

    Huh, I don't know how they've managed to convinced him to do it for them but kudos anyways, that's great news for me(a fan of the both entities), I just hope he's still going to do the Prometheus sequels, I think part of the problem with Prometheus was people expecting it to be another Alian, when I finally managed to come to terms with the fact that it's not, I started to really enjoy it.

    I oddly enjoyed that recent halo series. Loved his Prometheus. So here's hoping for something enjoyable!

    that article says scott is not directing but producing. through his company he seems to be involved in loads of movies.

    'digital feature' meaning all computer animated? and it doesn't say anything about this being a series, does it?

    I'd guess it means digital in the sense that it'll be distributed for download only.

    Well, that's officially the strangest analogy I've heard today. Kudos.

    Most of the studios want to transition to digital distribution "to theaters" and put and end to shipping physical film reels to hundreds of thousands locations around the world.

    Physical film is a bit of a logistical nightmare, if they don't get it just right and gauge demand perfectly they can easily lose money producing too many reels or lose out on sales if they don't produce enough. But with digital they can push it out quickly at a fraction of the cost.

    Physical film is one of the main reasons for staggered release dates.

    Also...
    Sea Otters, not as cute and cuddly as you might think:

    Sorry for digressing this conversation.... but
    This comment was so WTF, I had to google it.

    Apparently this is fact:

    Wow I just read that article.
    Indeed, trauma related to mating was responsible for 11 percent of deaths in fresh southern sea otter carcasses examined between 2000 and 2003.

    Rape is the cause of 11% of sea otter deaths? lol

    Funfact #27: They also have a flap of skin that forms a pocket so that they can keep their favorite rock with them.

    I assume this is also part of the rape scenario- i have no credible witnesses to back this up

    Ridley Scott should make a movie about sea otters.

    my opinion:

    movies that come from games never turn out to be great and vice versa
    You do get that odd special exception that blows everyone away, but with halo I don't think it will be.

    I don't believe I've seen any of those "special exceptions". Did you have an example?

    Hmm, that's a good point, i'm still trying to think about that one. I could say countless bad ones. but good ones, that is a hard question by far.

    If ridley Scott had made doom it would have been AMAZING. Just be glad they didn't hand halo to JJ Abrams. We don't need the lens flares...
    I wanna see Scott and blomkamp work on something together, and I vote halo. Halo needs moar grunge.
