    Gabe Newell is very vocal apparently that he wouldn't want a Tarintino HL. Can't blame him - the guy is good, but not that good. Massively overhyped.

    Statham o_O while once he seemed half decent most of his recent movie have been horrible cash in jobs.

    Clive Owen or Christopher Eccelston would make decent 47s maybe Kevin Spacey as well but then again hitman is probably going to be a crappy cash in movie :(

    I think the 1up show recently interviewed someone from Postal about the film. cant remeber what they said.

    That is one Hell of a list. alot I have seen, others I have heard about, and then more I didnt have a clue about, or thought they were looking to get a movie deal.

    Wasnt Spyhunter confirmed that its not coming out ever and got cancelled??

    alone in the dark is also out - and another Uwe film.
    MK3 has been on the back burner for a while.

    Add dead or alive to that list, though thats already been done. Theres also:
    Postal
    Alone in the dark II
    House of the dead (already done and is the worst film i've ever seen!!)

    Im not looking forward to any of them since the majority are being directed by that dickhead uwe boll. Check out his other... "work" and what other people think of him here http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0093051/ and even if he wasnt directing them or whatever, I dont think they'll ever make a decent game/movie conversion they're just too cheesy. Resident evil came close though, though I expect thats only because it started milla jovovich

    I really don't see how the halo story line has enough substance to make a movie (like most games). But if Peter Jackson is on board, I'm sure he'll pull something out of his ass to make it great.

    I know this is my first post and all, so I can't really lay down the law, but can I suggest that anything that has ever been touched by Uwe Boll, (even in passing) be outlawed from ever being reffered to as a 'film' and instead simply be knows as 'crap'.

    To label anything he has made as a 'film' means it has something loosely in common with say 'The Third Man', and the idea we live in a world where that profiteering, artistically retarded ass hat is able to spew out privately funded, tax refundable catastrophes, and have them reffered to as 'films' makes me want to roll over in my duvet and cry... just a little, but there my tears, not his
