Steven Spielberg's Halo TV Series in Production

Steven Spielberg will begin producing a live-action television series based on the military-themed sci-fi video game ‘Halo’ in the fall of 2015, which coincides with the release of the sequel ‘Halo 5: Guardians’. The show, which will live on the Xbox Live network, will build on the success of the digital series ‘Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn’, which debuted alongside the game ‘Halo 4’. Microsoft previously announced that Alien director Ridley Scott was working on a multi-part ‘Halo’ film. No other details about the Spielberg-produced show have been released.The game ‘Halo 5’, on the other hand, will play out at 60 frames per second using a new engine (compared with the 24 frames per second of a standard television broadcast). It’s the latest development that ‘Halo’ has contributed to the Xbox One platform. The software company will announce more details about its plans at Microsoft’s presentation at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in June.

The first installment of the ‘Halo’ series, ‘Halo: Combat Evolved’, came out in 2001. Since then it has inspired several cross-platform sequels in video games, novels, comics and more. The last major edition, ‘Halo 4’, broke sales records when it brought in $300 million in its first week in 2012.

As Forbes reports, the Spielberg-produced series could position Xbox Live to be in greater competition with streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Instant.

I'll pass.

@dagmar_merrill: I would too, but it's being directed by Spielberg and I have yet to see a work of his I didn't like.

Not sure if I'll watch this or not.

@racob7: Did you see Forward Unto Dawn?

I'm excited, since I love Halo

@stormdriven: Too bad I already won Halo ;p

So have I, I've beaten the games multiple times. Heroic was challenging, but a lot of fun.

I'll see it

@darling_luna: Will you see it? @stormdriven: Nah, you don't understand. I've WON Halo, and there ain't nothing you can do to take it from me.

Now I have Chloe and Halo ;p

@The_Deathstroker: I like Halo, so if I'm my friends or something, I'll ask to watch ehehe

This is known, Khaleesi.

@jaken7: You dare compare me to the Dothraki savages!! Despicable. And there was no thread made about it so I win! *sticks tongue out* @darling_luna: Do you play the games? I can't picture you watching them.

@The_Deathstroker: Yep, well I haven't after ODST hehe : P

@The_Deathstroker: Still. It was announced a year or two ago, and then there was that update that you quoted from nearly a week ago.

In contrast, I posted the thread about Miles Morales joining the All New X-Men 10 minutes after the story broke on CBR.

BEAT DAT! ;p

@darling_luna: Huh, so no Halo 4 for you, eh? I recommend you play that if you plan on playing 5. Major plot points you don't wanna miss. And if they include stuff that happened in 4 in this series you're gonna be clueless o.O@jaken7: Yeah, well... F**k you too lol.

Jk, you got me.

@The_Deathstroker: *plays 2 twice and calls it four*

*replaces all the main characters with smart-assed kids*

@joygirl: @darling_luna: Lol to both comments.

@The_Deathstroker: I got you, babe.

This sounds pretty cool .

I own all the mainstream Halo games, so you can't really take those away from me, anyway. And you never had Chloe, I won the war. Besides, she doesn't like pansies such as yourself ;P

@stormdriven: Nah, you know I'm right. I'll let you keep you're dignity for now, I'll take it from you when you least expect it.

And that's sweet of you, but there is no possible way you can take my dignity.

@stormdriven: Nah, you know I'm right. I'll let you keep you're dignity for now, I'll take it from you when you least expect it.

@The_Deathstroker: Repeating yourself doesn't change the fact you're wrong

It's hilarious that I can keep repeating myself and it's still a valid response. @stormdriven: Nah, you know I'm right. I'll let you keep you're dignity for now, I'll take it from you when you least expect it.

@stormdriven: If you do somehow manage to kill me, you'll do it with no dignity. ;)

Can you prove that? It seems clear that I am a far superior man. Nothing you can do will bring me to my knees.

@stormdriven: The only way to prove it is to do it. You'll know when it's proven, believe me.

It seems clear? No no no no no, it is you whom is mistaken, about a great, many, things.

And what things would those be?

@stormdriven: Too many to list.

Wrong again, sir. It seems it is you that is mistaken.

@stormdriven: Why is it that whenever I say something you know is true, you're only response is "wrong"

You're failed attempts at disproving my posts disgust me, tell me, why is it wrong?

;p

I said that in response to your silly "I won Halo" (which still doesn't make any sense btw), and the fact that you gave up in the 4 man war we had for Chloe, evidenced by your lack of response to me.

Not only that, you claim to be able to take my dignity from me, an impossible task for even the most intelligent and clever people I know.

So tell me, how are you right?

I reiterate:

Well this could be absolutely wonderful, or it could be incredibly terrible....oh, so just like anything?! ;) The fact that Spielberg is involved is a major positive. I am excited and hopeful.

100th post bitches!!!!!
