News Showtime making a ‘Halo’ TV Show, Filming starts in 2019
- Thread starter Mach5
- Start date
During IGN's Fan Fest today, Kiki Wolfkill, one of the show's executive producers, and 343 Industries' head of transmedia, revealed we will see Master Chief's face. It sounds like this is going to be a very character driven show, and that kind of thing is going to be to without ever showing the main character's face.
Hell, even The Mandalorian has shown us it's title character's face twice.

Well, Halo held out pretty long, 20 years. Judge Dredd was only around for 18 years when they revealed his face in the movie.
Another thing to keep in mind, is that with first person shooter games, it's not that uncommon for them to never show the player character's face, since the idea is supposed to that the player is that character.
But with TV shows it's all about connecting to the characters, and that can be a challenge when you don't see their faces. It's not a coincidence that the two scenes where we see Din Djarin's face in The Mandalorian, are two of the series most emotional scenes.

That face is still going to be hidden most of the time I assume so they're going to be facing the challenge of making us connect to the guy either way. If they can pull off something with as much emotion as the scenes when we saw Din then maybe it'll be worth taking the helmet off, but the more they break the rules of the games the less chance that existing fans will consider the series to be legit.
Just a reminder this starts Thursday.
Setting aside the announcement for a moment, how badass of a name is Kiki Wolfkill? She sounds like an anime werewolf hunter.
The only force in the multiverse that can stop her is the werewolf assassin team of Dick Wolf from Law & Order, Lazar Wolf (pronounced laserwolf), the butcher from Fiddler on the Roof, and Sniper Wolf from Metal Gear Solid.
She's shadowed by the omnipresent Finn Wolfhard from Stranger Things, who's allegedly a hybrid shark-ta-wolf.
Yes! Another awesome name.
Moon bloodgood will join the cast to complete the trifecta
Um, no.
Haven't you seen the Japanese animated Hayao Miyazaki film: "Kiki's Delivery Service"? Obviously the same character. She started out as a Witch and obviously cast and immortality spell on herself and now she hunts Wolves...
That would be probably of less weird anime show synopsis I've read.Haven't you seen the Japanese animated Hayao Miyazaki film: "Kiki's Delivery Service"? Obviously the same character. She started out as a Witch and obviously cast and immortality spell on herself and now she hunts Wolves...
