Xbox Entertainment Studios is deep in negotiations with Showtime to develop a live-action “Halo” drama series that is a high priority for the Microsoft production unit headed by Nancy Tellem.
Xbox Studios has been developing a drama series spin on the vidgame franchise with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin TV banner for more than a year. It’s understood that the company is close to a deal with a pair of showrunners to steer the series adaptation of the expansive bible developed by screenwriter Stuart Beattie, but the deal is not envisioned as a straight-to-series pickup.

Huh, they've been talking about a Halo movie for years, now we might get a TV Show? I hope its good.
ReplyDeleteHow popular is Halo nowadays? I only ask because I knew a LOT of people who used to play it and they all have stopped playing and I was asking a few of them if they'd heard about this and they just shrugged and didn't seem to give a crap. And I never hear about Halo either it used to be all anyone talked about.
ReplyDeleteLOL does this mean Cortana is going to be naked the whole time?
ReplyDeleteIt's quite popular still. There's always quiet periods between games. People in lots of game shops here still talk about it loads. With the introduction of Cortana on Windows phones and this Spielberg-directed Halo series.. it'll definitely only get bigger :-) I for one am excited!
ReplyDeleteHaha that's possible if it's partnering with Showtime!
