Last May Microsoft made the big announcement that Steven Spielberg was going to be working on a Halo tv series. Almost a year later we find out that another famed director, Ridely Scott, is being brought on to produce a… well a something…
What’s being called a “digital feature project” is coming this year. Knowing what we know, I’d guess this is some kind of film/wed series similar to Forward Unto Dawn from Machinima. Which wasn’t terrible but it never felt like Halo until the end. The whole series took on a typical teens in a sci-fi/dystopian scenario feel. On the plus side, not only do we get Ridely Scott, we also get Sergio Mimica-Gezzan, who worked on Battlestar Galactica. We’ll just have to wait and see how this all works out. In the mean time check out the first episode of Forward Unto Dawn:
