Nowadays, there are more and more well-known games being adapted into live-action movies, and it has to be said that this is an effective means to expand the influence of IP and let IP reach more users! Although not every adaptation will be successful, if it is successful, the benefits will be very considerable, for example: after the doctor shared with you that the "Demon Hunter" live-action album set off a global boom, the highest number of players in "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" at the same time exceeded the number of online users when the game was just launched, setting a new record!
Like the Polish donkey, Microsoft obviously feels that the above idea is feasible, and the live-action album adapted from Xbox's signature shooter "Halo" series will officially launch on Paramount Plus, a streaming platform owned by Paramount Pictures, on March 24, and the majority of fans must be eager. For this "Halo" live-action album, the doctor deliberately went to check the relevant information, summarized and sorted out, and shared it with you today.
How important the Halo series is in the game circle, there is no need for a doctor to repeat it, a series of works have not disappointed players, and the new series "Halo: Infinity" also won the The Game Awards Player's Voice Award! Such a popular game series adapted into a series of albums naturally has to be produced with the highest budget, according to the report of foreign media "Variety", each episode of the "Halo" live-action series has a budget of up to 10 million US dollars, which means that the first season spent up to 90 million US dollars in total budget, which is a heavy work!
Although "Variety" did not disclose the above digital sources, according to the statements made by paramount Plus executives, we can also be sure that the description of "heavy money" should be no problem, after all, Microsoft (XBOX) is not bad money. So what's the concept of $10 million per episode? The Doctor told everyone that the budget for each episode of HBO's classic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones is this number (and even increased to $15 million later), which means that the production scale of the two is similar!
With the support of the budget, the production of the album is naturally refined, and it is reported that the "Halo" live-action album has undergone many script rewrites, and even directly cut the remake! Steven Kane, the show's coordinator, said that he had written 265 different versions of the script before the first season of the "Halo" live-action series officially began filming, which was incredible! The Doctor is now very curious about the album, where is all this money spent?
In addition, Steven Kane added: He and his team did not directly refer to the content of the original game when writing the plot related to the album, so the plot in the album will not be limited by the content of the game. The doctor felt that this was a clever and effective way to deal with it, using the world view of Halo without referring to specific game content, so that the script team had more creative space and more freedom.
Kiki Wolfkill, a senior executive of 343 Interactive Entertainment, the production team of the "Halo" game, said: "The crew had a major decision when making the album, that is, to create a "silver timeline" story background exclusive to the album, which means that the story of the album will be completely independent of the game. This also confirms Steven Kane's description, although we can't see the game plot in the album, but we can see the true face of the series protagonist "Sergeant Major" under the classic helmet, which is still very attractive!
The above is some details and information about the "Halo" live-action album, after watching it, the doctor is very much looking forward to it. Do you think this kind of heavily funded album will look good? Welcome to leave a message to share.
