Emblazon Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 At least it was only because of a scheduling conflict. No drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 They've found a new director: Otto Bathurst, the filmmaker behind the recent Robin Hood reboot. Production is still scheduled to begin this year. So it could still happen, and there's still time for it to fall apart, again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched Peaky Blinders, but his episode of Black Mirror was one of the better ones imo. Overall he doesn't have a lot behind him though.

Otto Bathurst's TV work is almost uniformly excellent, so this could be good, but without knowing Otto's personal Halo fandom, or his interest in researching the property, I can't actually give reassurance. He's good within the TV realm, so that's a good sign at least. I'd say the fact they got Kyle Killen (great showrunner of the short lived series Awake, also wrote the interesting though not great films The Beaver and Scenic Route) to showrun the show is a much bigger "get" and helps make me think Halo could actually be good between him and Otto Bathurst. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a brilliant move on their part to get subscribers. Beside Viacom owns both CBS, Paramount and Showtime. Might be like Disney+ having everything under one banner.

That's exactly the calculation here... also shows on Paramount Plus will definitely have bigger budgets than anything on Showtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 As someone on ResetERA posted: Quote Halo's story makes zero sense. It just goes right over your head. I said it in the TV show thread, but all the good story stuff happens in the supplemental material but then the games come and go, "YOLO! MASTER CHIEF! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" And they proceed to forget about anything interesting that was brought up in the novels but will still bringing in novel characters and mention their events as if regular players know any of that shit. This is why MC rarely speaks, he's completely lost and has no idea what's going on. But he has to pretend he does or everyone will think he's an idiot for not reading any of the books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_m_b_m_b_m Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 yeah I mostly meant the novels, the ones I read (I see 4 of them on my bookshelf at least, dunno what else there is) were exceptional! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamusha Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Paramount + needs this to be a hit but video game adaptations are never a sure thing. Video game fans are vicious and if anything about this show doesn't ring true to them they simply won't watch and move on with their lives.

PaladinSolo Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 So uhhhh this is probably going to be stupid, like "we got all these books and games we could use or.... just fuck it." The Halo TV Series Won't Be Canon - IGN WWW.IGN.COM The Halo universe has an ever-expanding canon, but we're now learning the upcoming Halo TV series coming to Paramount Plus won't be a part of the current canon.
