I know, it's cheap of me to use an old man's balls to get your attention, but now that you're busy scanning this text for the reason that Hasselhoff's package is gracing the front page of Destructoid I'll task you with this question: If the
Halo movie does resurrect itself from bowels of Hollywood and ultimately does happen ... who would be the lead? Think about it -- if they figure out a way to make the perma-helmet Chief actually have a face half the time, who would be the face, the voice, the inspiration to sit there for two hours and take in a Hollywood
Halo? [Update 1: Mykie's suggestion was so shocking that I had to snuff Ford ]
Let's knock out some of the obvious ones:
Harrison Ford, Ahhhrnold, and Sylvester are over the hill.
Val Kilmer weighs 300 pounds, McConnehey is insane.
Tom Cruise is too little, too Scientologist.
Denzel is too righteous, too New York grunge realism.
Tommy Lee? LOL
The British are out. Imagine Hugh in a suit. Yeah, exactly.
Segal and Jean Claude Van Damme will bankrupt the movie on principle.
The Rock did as good a job on Doom as can be, but as the Chief? I don't know.
Perhaps the answer is somebody in a recent Michael Bay movie. An X-Men star of sorts ... but I'm not sure Jack can cut it. The Chief's role commands both authority and an aura of epic badassness. He makes or breaks the movie. So what of it, who would you put in the green helmet?

But for my money the man behind the mask shouldn't be revealed. I like the chief mysterious. Plus, as a huge nerd, I have read the books and understand that the Spartans have skin the color of elmer's glue due to excessive amounts of time NOT in any form of sun and often hidden behind layers of armor. So. Maybe an albino?
Also, why is this suddenly in the top 5?
Seriously, though? I'd have to say Bruce Campbell. Can't go wrong with that guy.
What, you didn't think James Earl Jones was that tall, did you?
chief isn't supposed to have a face...
I don't want character development
I want some fucking covenant killing.
Come on, it is plausible..
Sorry for the dub.
Samuel L Jackson for Sergeant Johnson (just to hear him say motherfucker)
Milla Jovovich for Cortana.
If there's a romantic entanglement that isn't hot AI on Cyborg action then that too will suck.
And to Mutant Pope, I like Milla Jovovich but let's be honest, her breast size is too small to play Cortana. How about Rosario Dawson, Eva Mendes, or...wait for it...Lindsay Lohan?
Of course, the latter two need to be out (or in between stays) of rehab!
MMMM, Cortana.
and milla's chest isn't big enough.
or Fred Willard.
or Adam Baldwin.
or Hooch.
...wait for it...
...awww yeah
Zach Braff
I'd like to see Ron Perlman, just to figure out how the hell they stuffed that jaw into master chief's helmet.
