Neill Blomkamp to Direct Halo TV Series Rumors Suggest

Have you been itching for some news regarding the previously announced Halo TV series just as we have? Well it appears that you're in luck as The Latino Review is reporting that "trusted sources" have confirmed Blomkamp as the director of the upcoming live-action Halo TV series pilot.

Blomkamp made a few comments regarding the series last April;

"I still really love the world and the universe and the mythology of Halo. If I was given control, I would really like to do that film," Blomkamp told IGN.

"But that's the problem. When something pre-exists, there's this idea of my own interpretation versus 150 other people involved with the film's interpretation of the same intellectual property. Then the entire filmgoing audience has their interpretation. You can really live up to or fail in their eyes. That part isn't appealing to me, but the original pieces are appealing.'

Although Microsoft is playing dumb with their recent statement;

"We do not comment on speculation and rumors. We'll have much more to share regarding the overall creative team behind the 'Halo' Television Series in the near future."

The Halo TV Series is to be produced by Stephen Spielberg and will be overseen by 343 Industries, the developer behind Halo 4, and will be available only on Xbox One.
