“#Halo: Paramount+ Drops Thrilling First Trailer Ahead of 2022 Premiere<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

The Halo series<\/a>, based on the ground-breaking first-person shooter Xbox video game<\/a>, will stream on Paramount+ in 2022.<\/p>\n

Although it was ordered to series by Showtime in 2018, Paramount+ acquired its exclusive distribution rights earlier this year.<\/p>\n

At the eighth annual Game Awards live stream on Dec 9, the first-look trailer was debuted, showcasing the faces of many major characters but, not surprisingly, not the face of its central protagonist, the soldier known as Master Chief.<\/p>\n

According to Paramount+, “HALO will take place in the universe that first came to be in 2001 with the launch of Xbox\u00ae’s first ‘Halo’ game.<\/p>\n

“Dramatizing an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant, HALO the series will weave deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future.”<\/p>\n

The trailer provides a glimpse of a visually epic landscape filled with military forces fighting an as-yet-unseen enemy.<\/p>\n

Pablo Schreiber was cast as Master Chief Spartan-117 in April 2019. It’s understandable why we don’t see him without his helmet and armor in the trailer since that’s how Master Chief usually app<\/a>ears.<\/p>\n

Master Chief and his AI, Cortana, are central to the human resistance to the Covenant aliens who wage a holy war on humanity.<\/p>\n

Natascha McElhone initially had double-duty, cast as both Cortana and Dr. Halsey, the scientist responsible for creating the Spartan super-soldiers.<\/p>\n

In November 2020, it was announced that Jen Taylor, the voice of Cortana in every major game in the Halo franchise, would be assuming the role in the series as well.<\/p>\n

This seems in keeping with the trailer where McElhone appears in a lab coat. Taylor’s casting pays fan service to the gamers who have become attached to her voice as Master Chief’s constant companion.<\/p>\n

Halo has been a phenomenon since its launch twenty years ago. Since then, the franchise has sold over 82 million copies of its games and has branched out successfully into other media<\/a> — novels, graphic novels, animation — as well as spawning the popular web series, Red Vs. Blue.<\/p>\n

The production has had its share of challenges. Filming began just as the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2019. There have been several showrunner and director changes since the show was initially ordered due to various reasons.<\/p>\n

All that being said, the trailer has a stunning look and tone, effectively translating the game’s conflict to a live-action military situation.<\/p>\n
