WILD Speculation - Halo is Now
Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 1:44 pm
This is crazy. I don't even believe it, but I feel I should write it.
I'm sure most of you know about the new JJ Abrams movie coming out. The one with the trailer during Transformers, with no name. It's been codenamed Cloverfield (also heard it called Slusho, but I don't like that), and only listed the date - 1.18.08.
Now there are a ton of theories out there as to what this is. Apparently the production company said it involves creature being called "The Parasite". People have suggested it's a movie dealing with Cthulhuand the return of ancients to kill us.
When my brother saw the film he said "I feel like that's Halo." To which I said "pffffft." But he just started training at an XBOX call center and was talking with his instructor about the movie and mentioned he thought it was Halo, and she just winked at him and ended the conversation. I still didn't buy it.
But with this Jonas thing, randomly disappearing, could it be that he saw evidence of a covenant scouting party, or something clicked about something he had scene being forerunner leftovers or something? Imagine, you're making yourself a PB&J sandwich, and look at the window and see a Grunt slinking around, or see the SOTA pictures in the newspaper (think in game, not viral marketing) and sprint out the door. Could Iris actually be leading up to not only Halo 3 but also to Halo: Theatre Evolved (working title).
I still don't buy it... but I think there's an outside chance. Now, like Johnny Storm, flame on.
I think Jonas' involvement in the ARG story arc indicates that there is more going on in OUR time in the Halo Universe than perhaps we first thought. If this crazy, wild, speculation turns out to be true in any way, I think Iris will be paving the way for that announcement.
Perhaps worth a lock, but maybe also a read before it gets buried
Edit after the two points combined by Av: I meant to write this originally but forgot. With the creature being called "The Parasite" images of the flood are certainly evoked in me, and if you look to artists interpretations of what Cthulhu might look like, it's similar to what the flood have looked like since Halo CE - I always thought the mutated bipeds looked like angry squid men. Also, thanks for the faith in my lunacy. Lets see where this goes!
