Movie News: Halo"/"Grand
Theft" Movie Adaptations:
Every other week it seems we hear about another video game being turned into a big screen action
vehicle or epic. Yet the valid question has been raised, why is that Microsoft's "Halo 2" and Rockstar Games' "Grand Theft
Auto: San Andreas", easily two of the most successful titles in any entertainment field this year, not headed the same way?
According to Variety it seems the answer is that the properties are so valuable that Hollywood doesn't have much to offer.
Even if the company was offered huge amounts like $20 million for the rights, the harm of a film adaptation (games to movies
so far have had a poor track record) may hurt more than do good - especially with both franchises still in their prime and
the ability to make far more money in the games arena than in cinema.
Sources indicate that Microsoft is developing
its own script for a "Halo" movie inhouse and has contacted agencies to bring an A-list screenwriter onboard to help work
on it. If the games developer is happy with said script, it's expected to then be shopped around to producers or studios.
Rockstar has reportedly snubbed interest from major players including Tony Scott and Eminem, and there are hints it may be
working on its own script as well.
Stars of the Future: Part 1:
Erika Christensen
BORN: Seattle,
Washington, USA
AGE: 20
She's often confused with Julia Stiles
for her looks, and Hayden Christensen for her name, but despite such identity problems Erika is one young actress who has
managed to stand out from the crowd: thanks largely to her breakout performance in Steven Soderbergh's Traffic,
as Michael Douglas' crack-addict daughter. Neither as quirky as Christina Ricci nor as bland as Sarah Michelle Geller, Christensen
seems comfortable in both mainstream and independent fare. Blessed with a butter-wouldn't-melt smile, cherubic face and crystal
green eyes, you might have expected Christensen to become just another brat-packer, destined for gross-out comedies and love
scenes with Freddie Prinze Jr. Fortunately, this is one actress with good advisors - her mother and father gave up their jobs
to manage her career. Far from restricting her to saccharine roles, Christensen has been allowed to play the rebel: a teen-stalker
in Swimfan, a student who cheats on her SATs in The Perfect Score and
rock'n'roll wild-child in The Banger Sisters. Never fear, though. "I've
always kept it separate between me and whoever this other girl is," she says.
