Wasn't Spielberg in charge of Falling Skies on TNT? I didn't like that show even though the special effects were pretty decent.

Spielberg had/has some involvement with Falling Skies, can't remember exactly what.
I'm wondering just what a live action Halo can be like. Going to be a lot of special effects.

Falling Skies looks interesting, but the star of it is Noah Wylie, who is just awful. He looks so pathetic in every frame of film he's ever been on.
As for Halo...eh. I don't know that I find it interesting enough for a tv show. And it's really going to be an internet or video-on-demand show for Microsoft, isn't it? I'm just picturing something like Stargate. I hope I'm wrong. I'd much rather see them just make a CGI film. My favorite parts of the game where the cut scene movies, I don't know why they don't just make a film like that. They missed their best shot when Neil Blomkamp was set to direct the live action film. His work on "District 9" and "Elysium" show he would have been perfect for the movie. |

Not saying it can't be done, but it's going to be REALLY hard to pull off a truly good, "true to the series" Halo show under any sort of reasonable budget. Put it this way: Game of Thrones is currently one of the most popular yet also most expensive shows on television, and even with their big budget, they often have to gloss over battle sequences. I can't imagine an ongoing TV show having the budget to pull of Star Wars movie levels of CGI nearly every episode. In fact, I'll say there's a good chance this goes the way of the Star Wars live action series: Fails to happen because it's just too damn expensive. |
