What the Halo TV Show Could Look Like
Halo has a long history in live-action. Here are the many excellent commercials the TV show could pull from.
With the news of the Halo TV show still alive, and better yet, entering production in early 2019, we're all wondering the big questions. What will the show focus on? Where will it be set? Who will be our main characters?
While we wait for those answers, we can dig into Halo's live-action trailer history to get an idea of what the new Halo TV show could look like. We've compiled a list of every one of those live-action trailers and commercials for you to relive and remember the saga of the Chief and humanity, and potentially draw some inspiration for what a premium cable Halo should could be.
[Special note: We didn't consider the Halo: Landfall, Halo: Nightfall, Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn collections, since they're less advertisements and more short films or series.]
Halo 3
Halo 3: ODST
Halo: Reach
Halo: Anniversary
Halo 4
Halo 5: Guardians
So which live-action slice of the Halo-verse is your favorite? The thumping drums of the Halo 3: ODST trailer? The ominous new tone of Halo 5: Guardians' live-action sequences? For my money, it's got to be the devastating impact of Halo 3's "Believe" trailers. Oof.
