In Response To: Re: Got popcorn? (Someone)


: Halo: Faith really bugged me. More than anything else about the film, they
: could only talk about how awesome the film was going to be, how it's never
: been done before and other sensationalist bullcrap. The whole while they
: were making promises they couldn't keep. I'm convinced this entire
: production was a hoax to furthur the director's career. Did it work for
: him? Apprently it did. But it was at the cost of people's trust.

: He can blame it on whatever he wants, but in the end he got what he was
: looking for out of the project. He was purposely leading people on with
: the project. The fact that he is just now telling people that the film got
: the kabosh because of IP reasons just after he is getting these offers
: from big companies now? He didn't tell people because he didn't want the
: hype to die down.

: As for Helljumper and Operation Chastity, those are a couple of projects that
: have earned my respect and interest and I cannot wait to see the end
: result from them both.

While there's no evidence for these accusations, I feel the same way. There was nothing but personal gain for the director and his studio. This project didn't have a "community" feel to it at all, and the way they pushed merchandise for the film was ridiculous. Even before the damn trailer came out, they were making promises of DVDs, t-shirts, soundtracks, art books, etc. People- no, the Halo community- were supposed to take them on blind faith. That's not cool.
