Let's not bring the Mario movie into this.

I recently read that the Halo script got rejected (months after it's much reported delivery; did it take months to read?). The new guy they got writing another take on Halo speaks about being fateful to the game vs cinematic presentaion:

I agree with him abit. But the question comes to mind; "When did Hollywood ever stay true to the source material?" Mortal Kombat and Silent Hill remained very fateful to their respective sources and I must say, I have no complaints. Then again, Resident Evil flipped alot of material and it turned out well; but it's sequel, which stayed close to the game, was less quality. I guess it comes down to how you handle it.
