Halo TV Show Coming to Showtime, Starts Filming in 2019

Showtime has just announced that they’re adapting the mega-popular Xbox video game series Halo into a TV show, and it will begin shooting early next year. That sound you’re hearing? That’s the sound of fans’ heads exploding all over the damn world. Read on for more info about the Halo TV show below.

According to a press release, Kyle Killen (Awake) will executive produce and serve as the series’ showrunner. Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) will direct multiple episodes of the show and executive produce.

Wonder what their budget is gonna be. Can't wait for casting. They really need to nail Master Chief and I have no idea who could play him.

Always with a helmet have Steve Dowes voice him. :)

Cortana is CGI, so have Jen Taylor voice her.

Halo has had a few movies/webthings.

I've got most of them except for Halo: Legends.

Halo: Forward Unto Dawn (live action)
Halo: The Fall of Reach (strange comic style animation)
Halo: Nightfall (live action)

and the brief Halo 3: Landfall short which is too short to be considered anything with plot, but not a bad attempt at fleshing out a live action universe.

And we have our Cortana. After Californication, I love her so much. This casting has me rock hard. She'll also play Dr. Halsey.
