14 DAY TRIAL // An unnamed source familiar with the development process for the much-teased Halo television series for the Xbox One suggests that the pilot episode will be directed by Neill Blomkamp, who is best known for his work on District 9 and the more recent Elysium.
Gamespot is quoting an individual from inside the company, but there are no details on the content of the show or on when it might be launched.
The Halo TV series was officially announced as the Xbox One was first revealed and Steven Spielberg is the producer working on it.
Neill Blomkamp is a good choice because his breakthrough movie, District 9, was created after a full Halo movie failed to get approval.
Microsoft will probably make an official announcement about the Master Chief powered television series around E3 2014 and the official launch might take place at some point during the fall.
