Thanks to Dimitri for the heads up.
Today, at the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour, I asked Showtime president David Nevins if he could give any update on Halo and if it was even still something Showtime was involved in.
Nevins had a very quick answer, but one that did seem to indicate there continues to be a very good chance of seeing the series down the line, as he simply answered, "It's still in development. Still in very active development."
I asked Nevins if we could hear any more details soon, and he replied, with a laugh, "No time soon." While there was no elaboration beyond this, it seems that whatever specific hurdles Halo has attached to it -- which obviously has many huge components involved, from Spielberg to Xbox -- it will continue to be a slow build towards actually making it to TV screens.
