'Halo,' which streams on Paramount+, operates on its own unique timeline and offers its own spin on the blockbuster game’s characters.
The creators of the new live-action "Halo" streaming series braced themselves for fans who might not be ready to see new versions of characters they’d seen in games for 20 years, the show’s executive producer Kiki Wolfkill tells Axios.As video game adaptations into film and TV become more common, creators have to anticipate how divergence from a game’s established fiction will go over with players.
Also changed is Cortana, Chief’s blue AI companion who was given a more human look for the show that was“It's hard to put something out of context out there,” Wolfkill said of that initial Cortana tease, but viewers have warmed to it. Priorities with Cortana were to make her not look like a little “Tinkerbell” character to newcomers and present her in a way — an actor on stage, later digitized — that allowed other actors to interact with her.
Halo books and podcasts have already explored those uncomfortable aspects, but the show is making that perspective on Halo lore much more prominent. "Human connection," is what we might see, Wolfkill said, avoiding confirming any romance for the hero. That too, she noted, might feel different for players used to seeing Chief only in action moments.Wolfkill is optimistic that the new season will benefit from viewer feedback and a tighter production schedule.
