Rumour: Steven Spielberg’s Halo TV Series May Begin Filming In Fall 2018
- Thread starter Cranster
- Start date
Woah, is it 2007 again? Is Neil Blomkamp going to start making his Halo movie again?
I wish, that ODST ad was a masterpiece
Hopefully this will be better in terms of narrative (though FUD was quite good). I mean, they suposedly have the producers of "Extant", "Falling Skies" and "The Americans" working on this project, as well as Spielberg himself. With those names at least it sounds like we'll get some good sci-fi action to enjoy.
Given what happened to the last scifi shows Steven Spielberg was associated with (seaQuest DSV and Falling Skies), I'm going to guess that he'll ruin the whole thing by focusing on some story element that is completely noninteresting to most of the audience and not dropping it until he's effectively kicked off the project.
You can almost say "a decade too late" and its not hyperbole.
I was quite hyped when there was talk of a Halo movie in like... 2009? I think Blomkamp was involved. I'll still check it out but this is not really very timely.
Where's the real people part from?
We will get there. Slowly - but we will get there.
Both scenes are from the Ready Player One trailer. Which is directed by Steven Spielberg.
On topic: Seems like they would have this show release (if it really is still going ahead) to coincide with the Halo 6 marketing campaign.
If 343i write it, Im sure it will be god awful. MS already the perfect chance of a great Halo movie in their hands and Im still confused how they fucked it up.

Isn't this related to that Spielberg-Halo project we heard about like 10 years ago? I wonder what caused this project to take so long. It's a bit concerning that this has taken so long since video game to TV/Movie adaptations are usually not particularly good or successful. But Halo is one of the most well known video game IPs and this project is being made in collaboration with one of the most critically acclaimed directors/producers in Hollywood so I'd love to see this series buck the trend. This will definitely be an interesting one to watch.
Really need to replay Halo 1-3. To bad I don't have a 360 to play Halo 3 anymore.
Still got my old Xbox though for Halo 1-2!

Irrelevant if the product is genuinely good, it can stand on its own as a quality piece of entertainment.
A Halo TV series would need GoT level budget to properly show the amazing world,lore and some large scale battles the first 3 games did so well. Unless they are going with some ONI spy story.
Hope the CGI will be good.

If it's the stuff they were teasing Halo 5 with before the game came out and the game had nothing to do with it, I'd be interested in it.
I Think I recall someone at MS or 343 specifically saying it would have a GoT budget.
Please, don't. We've seen enough budget-constrained adaptations about dudes LARPing around empty spaces because a TV budget can only support so many CG puppets, and Halo already enough boot camp stories to last three lifetimes.
Unless, of course, they keep introducing new humanoid species that just so happened to be hiding somewhere in High Charity's basement.
Because that worked so well last time they tried it.
I'm tired of seeing such a vibrant and fun universe adapted into all these dour, self-serious things. Halo is big enough to support those stories, but it shouldn't be the only way it's portrayed in "real" media.

That short is neat for what it is, but it would make a terrible Halo movie. Even at his best, Blomkamp's style is the polar opposite of Halo's.
