Halo Teen Movie

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

Ok, I just came up with this so I realy heed to wright this down.

Im sure most of you have read Halo:Contact Harvest, right? Well, I live in a farmland area with only about 1.5 houses per Km, perfact for Halo: Contact Harvest.

Now, knowing that most of us are ages 14-20, We cant make a good movie that is almost exactly like Contact Harvest right? WRONG!!!

I have an idea on how we can make a movie.

1) Ok, let me lay out a basic story line for you all.

3 kids, ages 14-16 all have dads stationed with the UNSC on Harvest. Them, being very involved with snooping around the radio waves of the UNSC, they descover that the Covenant is invading Harvest. So, only being so young, they decide to go to the military base that there dads are stationed at. On there way there, they see smoke in the distance. When they come in sight of the base, they see brutes rumaging through the wreckage. They wait until nightfall, and after the brutes leave, they go to base in hope to find there dads. The descover that there all dead, and they become angry, so they rumage around for gear and weapons to protect themselfs with.

After wondering the wasted area of there homes for 2 days, they find brutes again, but this time, in a forest fighting a small band of marines. The boys run into action with the marines, not sure how to fire the weapons. They kill one of the brutes, while the marines take the rest. After the battle, they meet up with the last 9 or so marines. The boys are told about a place were people are gathering to be taken off the planet back to Reach.

On the way there, the marines train them to use the assault rifles. The boys lurn that the marines were from the base there dads were at. The marines tell the boys why there dads were dead. 2 were dead because they were hit when they were sleeping. The other was killed trying to lay fire down so the others could get away.

Lurning this, the boys become even more angry.

Only 13 klicks away, they meet another pack of brutes, and using there assault rifles, they kill, unleashing there anger. After mowing down the first 6 or so brutes, they walk through the bodys of the dead brutes. One of the unexpecting boys are attacked by a brute playing dead. the boy later dies because of the large cuts, and many broken bones inflicted during the attack.

The other boys, shaken by the death of there friend go blood drunk and hammer everything moving in there sight.

After the bloodshead, they burry there friend, and move on to the extraction point.

At the extraction point, they see there are very few civilians, and about 50 marines. The marines are being attacked by wave after wave of brutes, ghosts, and wrath fire. The boys and marines manage to hold off the brutes until the civilians are on the ship. The boys, and whats left of the marines get on the ship, and make it to Reach.

THE END.

There can be a sequel to this (Halo:Fall of Reach), but im to lazey to come up with another idea for it.

Tell me what you all think,

CHEERS!

pretty good story line, sounds like you memorized the book word for word

 

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

Thanks, but i've only skimmed through the book once LOL!

 

[Radioactiv]

You should really write this in script form, or if you don't know how, you can ask me how to do it, or if I'm bored, I'll do it for you (giving you full credit)

 

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

Thanks alot for the comment. I am currently working on this as a script, but instead of putting 43 pages af script on here, I just gave the basic outline. A few details are missing out of the storyline, but its good enuff. Im just working out the bugs on the usual "this doesn't make sence" or "its not possible to have a seen that big".

If I decide to put this into production, im going to need extras (as civilians) Marines, weapons, make-up artests, special effect teams (for the brutes, ghosts, explosions ect.) and mabey a few investers so the film is possible.

If I do go into produstion, im gomming here for help first.

Thanks again for the comments!

CHEERS!

me likey ! keep going with it! im interested to watch this as it develops.

 

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

Thanks. Ive been working on it for 2 hours today(in total, ive been on the script for about a month), and im almost done the script. I have some screenplay ideas for camra movements and such. I think im going to make it a handheald picture, like Saving Prevate Ryan.

I'll keep you all posted, and leave as many comments as you want, just so I keep this project going and not stop it than start up again a year later!

CHEERS!

 

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

Sorry for the double post, but I don't want this idea to slip my mind.

Its the sequel, just an idea though. Here it goes.

Halo:Fall of Reach about 26 years after Harvest.

The two boys, now about 35 or so years old, still saddened by there famialy and friends deaths, along with them seeing the horrors of war at souch a young age join the UNSCMC, and are stationed at Reach.

When they are called to defend the planet, little do they know that there going to face not just brutes, but jackels, grunts. Them, and 20 000 other marines of the 405'th are called in, and despite there best efforts, are slautered by the Covenent, leaving only a few to live.

Two of the 34 marines are the boys, one shot in the sholder by a spiker, and the other limping with a spike from a grenade in his right knee. As the two marines strugal to keep up with the others, they soon realize that there fighting for there lives against thousands of brutes, grunts and jackels.

As there ammo counters decline to 0 over and over again, they are running short on ammo. As they limp along, they pick up ammo, grenands, and anything they need from fallen marines, some there friends, others there famialy. As the Covenent close in on them, they get a fall back call from ONI base section 3 to attempt to make it to the mountans, were the humans are setting up a resistance there.

The marines move swiftly, hopping that all of there comrads have not fallen. They make it to the mountans just as the sun sets, and the planet plunges into darkness.

At around 22 hundred hours, the last of the marines recive a call stating that everyone should head to the nerest ship for evac. For them it was The Pillar of Autumn.

They move out 20 minutes later, and as they retreat, they run into countless ambushes from the Covenent. Eventualy, they make it on the ship. The 2 marines, wounded so many times collaps on the ships loading bay, sholder to sholder. They are dragged aboard by a bulkey figure which they soon realize is the Master Chief. They take off only seconds later, and as they glided through space before they jumped to slipspace, they saw the destruction of the largest military instalment in the history of mankind. Reach

THE END

Now, I bet you all know were this it going right? Thought so!

Hope you all enjoyed it! CHEERS!

I'm currently on a project myself, filming in the Private Ryan style as well. Perhaps e should collaborate. Possibly have our films intertwine? My film has a root part from Harvest. An artifact of sorts.

I like that idea. The only problem is im out in Canada, and chances are il have trouble getting out to the US because my parents dont like driveing there. (its just a little diffrent, but i don't know why...) Any how, I'll take you up on it. We'll talk more I hope about this subject. Just give me a basic outline of you're screenplay, and we'll see what happens.

CHEERS!

Lol. I was thinking perhaps they are in the same... world? No driving. Lol. I'll make my movie and you make yours. We just will have them connected in a very subtle way. Perhaps a dead character that is in mine is in yours, but is alive.

 

[Tengil]

pretty good story line, sounds like you memorized the book word for word

really? I keep reading it and can't stop thinking how it is very wrong if you compare to the book

it is a rather good storyline in itself, but dosent really match up

 

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

Actualy jericho, thats a good idea! I don't have any character names quite yet, well except the main character, Andy(based on the name my friends sometimes call me because Andy the bomb from Red VS Blue swears and spazes alot, and I spaze like crazey too). I am using some names from Contact Harvest the book though.

And Tengil, I guess I do agree about that. The only things that match are the extraction point at the end, some of the marines names, and the brutes.

Anyhow, thanks for the comments everyone! I've started on Halo:Fall of Reach's script and its comming along great. Im editing the first script right now, and I should have the final draft for the first one by Christmas.

CHEERS!

I am turning 12, and I'm reading contact harvest (already read ghosts of onyx) so as long as you have the armor (i have camo cloths from my uncle who is in the marine core) and the guns ill be happy to be jenkins

The idea is good, but i still dont find it great because you dont have a director and you are not professionals.
Of course you wouldnt need that, but you would have to do alot of reasearching on camera angles video effects charecter posture, charecter postioning, charecter lines, charecter movement, charecter emotions etc.

figured how all of that works out, it's still not easy to act it.
The quality of the movie might be 'bad' as in an amateur film.

the research is already the hard part. Then comes the "impossible part"
Of course you might make a good movie, but it might not seem right and or belieavable.

I will use a rough example; Machinima made by recording the tv screen with a laptop webcam...
-------------------------------

Before jumping into conclusions, I know, after you read it might sound like an insult (and the modzz will want to ban me).
But let me fix something up before anyone does anything stupid.

From what i read, you have done an excellent job doing some of the reasearch and plotting the storyline, i think you guys are fully capable of doing this, and make the film as great as it could be.

I wish you all good luck!

Actualy, I do have some connections with a film maker. My uncle went to film school and he said he may help me out as soon as I have a final draft for the 1st script. He said he likes the idea and it has good potencial and if done properly who knows what could happen! Thats the best news i have on it so far.

CHEERS!

My only problem is transportation, I'm 12 so i don't have money for a plane ticket to southern Ontario.

 

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

Ok, well I don't really plan on starting production until next fall so don't worry about it until then. Your not quite old enuff, so i'de need you as an extra. We'll see how things go later on.

CHEERS!

I like that idea. Kind of like Halo: The Flood. How there are 2 different stories that are told, but still intertwine. BTW, love the script and storyline

 

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

Thanks Widman2013 for the compliment.

I think I can come up with about 3-6 movies on the same 2 characters, but I can't decide weather or not they die, or they live through the battle for earth. They would only be about 37 years old, but due to cryo-sleep, they would look, feel and act like there 25-30.

I was wondering if anyone had any good names for the main characters, I only have 1, Andy. Any ideas?

Thanks!
