Xbox One Reveal Includes Announcement Of Live Action HALO TV Series From Steven Spielberg
There have been many exciting announcements made as a part of Microsoft's Xbox One (the follow-up to the Xbox 360) reveal, but perhaps none more so than the fact that director Steven Spielberg is bringing a live action Halo series to the small screen. Read on for details!
There has been a lot of talk of a Halo movie over the years, but for various reasons, it's a project which has never really been able to get off the ground. However, during the reveal of their new Xbox One console, Microsoft confirmed that the franchise will now be heading to the small screen. The live action television series will be shown exclusively on the system as their LA studio continues plans for "pioneering the future of TV." The project is being developed by 343 Industries and Steven Spielberg, although his exact role in the series is unknown at this point (he'll direct at least one instalment presumably). This is set to be the first of many original Xbox TV programmes.
