Halo coming to Paramount+

We’ll find out if the Walking Dead spin-offs wither and die like this Halo movie!

Hey, if you name the next game Halo: Infinite, haven’t you painted yourself into a corner in terms of what you can name the one after that? Halo: Infinite 2? Halo: Infinite Plus? Halo: Infinite 360? Halo: Infinite Zune?

Clearly the next game will be HALO ONE.

I mean, tell that to Final Fantasy XV.

Dude, I told that to Final Fantasy II. It didn’t listen. It never listens.

-Tom

Showtime just announced that Pablo Schreiber (Pornstasche in Orange is the New Black, Mad Sweeney in American Gods) will be Master Chief in the new series.

Huh. Well it’s probably hard to find actors who are seven feet tall.

Pablo, noooooooo!

-Tom

More casting news.

Oh. I’m surprised they didn’t cast Ninja yet.

Played Halo on original Xbox, pretty fun killing aliens with the sword.

Huh, guess he’s taller than I thought.

Tallest leprechaun ever.

This was supposed to start shooting in late 2019. If it actually did, they might have made it under the wire before the Coronavirus stuff hit in March.

Anyone see anything about that?

EDIT: Answered my own question. Production was shut down.

To answer the question I posed in the thread title, apparently not! Do I smell a Star Trek crossover?

Reading through the article, I had forgotten who had been cast as Master Chief and when I saw mention of ‘Schreiber’ I got lost in a daydream where they got Liev Schreiber for the role.

Hmm …

20th anniversary of Xbox tomorrow. Makes sense.

And they gave us our tiny little teaser in the Xbox 20th anniversary video:

On the upside, yep that’s Master Chief! … and that’s about it.

We can answer the thread title now - no. Paramount+.

In addition to all the other video game related stuff we’ll be seeing on the Video Game Awards on Thursday, looks like we’ll be getting a look at the new Halo show too.
