This is quite a surprise for many as Microsoft is currently in “deep” negotiations to bring the Halo live-action TV series to premium cable channel Showtime according to reports.
Microsoft said that they were planning to join forces with Steven Spielberg for the show last year. Spielberg will act as executive producer, and he’ll be working with developer 343 Industries and Amblin Television.
According to some reports, the plan is to have each episode air on Showtime first and then on Xbox which will have added interactive material. Apparently, these interactive elements (and Microsoft wanting to be careful with its prized property) caused delays. Variety says the companies are now close to a deal.
