![]() ![]() ![]() Head of Halo Transmedia and Entertainment, Kiki Wolfkill (LOL, what a cool name) has spoken about the challenges of adapting the TV series and how it might differ from the pew pew of the game series.įor Wolfkill, one of the major challenges was the transition between seeing the world through the Master Chief’s eyes and seeing his story unfold on screen. Filming began in October 2019 and spent $40 million on production costs, with the first five episodes being re-edited under the Covid-19 shutdown and the sixth episode production and reshoots being planned in Ontario, Canada. With Steven Spielberg at the helm the show was set to release back in 2015, which changed to 2019 with Rupert Wyatt as producer, then a 2020 release and now the show is set for an early 2022 release with Otto Bathurst as producer on Paramount+. Don’t ask me why.Įvidently the show went through development hell and has had three producers. I played a bit the earlier games, and wasn’t really taken with them. Want scoop on Halo, or for any other show? Email and your question may be answered via Matt’s Inside Line.The series evidently stars Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, the “Spartan” super soldier most Xbox players have been loving long time. And even though she has honorable intent, there’s this constant interplay where it’s her ego versus something that’s for the universal social good.” “She has this hubris, and she creates her ‘monsters,’ if you like, or her creations. “There’s a Frankenstein element to Halsey, isn’t there?” mused her portrayer. And I think Parangosky knows that she’s being manipulated most of the time, but she just finds Halsey impossible to deal with, because at the same time she’s a genius and she’s delivering great resources that they need. Halsey then observed with great interest (and a slight smile) as Master Chief proved steadfast in his own defiance, then as the other Spartans prepared to counter the UNSC’s assault on his Condor, and most of all when the mysterious artifact (with which John-117 has an unusual connection) proved to abet his escape from Reach.Īssessing Halsey’s bold move, McElhone told TVLine, “I think she’s always been manipulating the UNSC people who work around her, including Parangosky. Catherine Halsey (played by Natascha McElhone) - creator of the supersoldier program - privately pulled aside Spartans Vannak-134, Riz-028 and Kai-125 and tasked them with protecting their colleague against any and all threats, even from “friendlies.” For as the UNSC aimed to have Kwan murdered, and then readied an all-out offensive against one of their own after he disobeyed the kill order, Dr. Master Chief wasn’t the only rogue actor in the series premiere. And through that process, we as an audience will learn things about him that we never knew before.” You’re now being asked to put the controller down, sit down on the couch, and join Chief on a journey where he’s going to learn about his humanity in a way he hasn’t before. “You’re no longer a co-creator of this experience. That’s how you play the game through his eyes and in his shoes.”īut in adapting the character for an ongoing TV series, “It was necessary to basically ask the viewer to get rid of that dynamic,” says Schreiber. “In the games, you’ve obviously never seen Chief with his helmet off, and the reason for that dynamic is because it’s a first-person shooter and you don’t want to blow the effect of the player feeling like they’re Chief,” the actor explains. The significance of Master Chief, the face of the Halo franchise, doffing his helmet for the first time ever is no less than “huge,” says Pablo Schreiber, front man for the Paramount+ series. (Though as it turned out, Master Chief’s activation of the artifact found on Madrigal let loose an energy pulse that neutered the UNSC, allowing their Condor to escape into Slipspace.) Moved by the gesture, Kwan ceded the weapon, only to have John-117 slide it back to her as they readied for the fight ahead. Master Chief first scoffed at the thought that Kwan could make a dent in his Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor, but then drove home his declaration to protect her by removing his helmet, and inviting her to get off a kill shot at his exposed head.
