Well, it only took 17 years of development hell, but popular video game franchise Halo is actually hitting the screen later this month. And it looks about right for an almost two-decade journey for a video game about the faceless, near-nameless man in generic green armor would look like. Take a peek with the final trailer for the Halo series.
Pablo Schreiber stars as Master Chief, a character about as interesting as his title. He sure is a guy! He fights aliens or something! And to pad that conflict out with more than shooting guns, there’s also a terrible actor who says, “What else are you willing to sacrifice!?” And another terrible actor who responds, “Everything!” The whole thing reeks of Syfy with a reasonable budget and a recognizable video game character. Helluva combo, right?
Halo arrives at the barren hellscape of Star Trek derivations that is Paramount+ March 24.
