We expect audiences who have been anticipating it for years to be thoroughly rewarded. Kyle Killen’s scripts are thrilling, expansive and provocative, Rupert Wyatt is a wonderful, world-building director, and their vision of Halo will enthrall fans of the game while also drawing the uninitiated into a world of complex characters that populate this unique universe.

Well, we’ll be looking forward to this one and see what develops.
