In a recent press release from Microsoft, we have received solid confirmation that not only will Steven Spielberg’s Halo TV show be dropping sometime in the near future, but we have confirmation on the previously rumored Halo digital feature being created by 343 Industries and Scott Free Productions with Ridley Scott being the executive producer.

“Halo” television series

The “Halo” television series is a groundbreaking original series based on the award-winning “Halo” franchise. Award-winning filmmaker, director and producer Steven Spielberg will executive produce the live-action TV series, created in partnership with 343 Industries and Amblin Television.

“Halo” digital feature



343 Industries and Scott Free Productions are creating a “Halo” digital feature to be released later this year. The project will be executive produced by Ridley Scott and Scott Free TV President, David Zucker. Sergio Mimica-Gezzan (“Battlestar Galactica,” “Pillars of the Earth,” “Heroes”) will direct.

IGN has mentioned that the digital feature will start filming this week in Iceland & Ireland and will NOT feature Master Chief.

It should be worth noting that the Halo TV series still does not have a release date while the digital feature is promised to arrive later this year.

The Halo digital feature was one of many leaks that a user on NeoGAF posted about months ago, alongside Halo 5 being delayed until 2015 and Halo 2: Anniversary coming this year. Many leaks that this user posted have been proven to be true including story details on Sunset Overdrive, the release window for Titanfall’s DLC and a Titanfall-themed console.
