'HALO' SF TV SERIES
While the premiere of Henry Cavill's Witcher has been pushed for next year, another epic TV series based on a massively popular video game has just found its lead star! Pablo Schreiber will lead the cast in HALO adaptation at Showtime! He will topline the new fantasy series as Master Chief, Earth’s most advanced warrior in the 26th century and the only hope of salvation for a civilization pushed to the brink of destruction by the Covenant, an unstoppable alliance of alien worlds committed to the destruction of humanity.
Newcomer Yerin Ha will also star in the new series |
The production on the show based on the game sold in over 77
million copies around the world will begin this Autumn in Hungary. Pablo
Schreiber has an Emmy nomination for his role in Orange is the new
Black. He will also star in Chris Evans series Defending Jacob at
Apple's new streaming service. Otto Bathurst, whose recent Robin Hood movie was visually stunning albeit a bit bad as a film itself, is directing and producing
the series.
Never played Halo but I do like a little sci-fi!
ReplyDeleteHope it will be massively epic!
DeleteIs Halo still a thing? I remember it being all the rage 10-15 years ago, but I haven't really heard anything about it since.
ReplyDeleteIt obviously is, not that I'd know - I haven't played a game in my life... maybe Age of Empires when I did not have the Internet decades ago :)
DeleteWell, these video games do have stories, so it makes sense the fans would like to see them done. Done well would be even better.
ReplyDeleteFingers and gauntlets crossed!
DeleteUm...
