The latest film adaptation of Microsoft’s Halo series of games arrives for digital delivery in March.
Set between the events of Microsoft’s hit game Halo 4 and the upcoming Halo 5: Guardians, Halo: Nightfall is the second full-length live-action feature for the Halo franchise after Halo: Forward Unto Dawn. The new film was executive produced by Ridley Scott (Prometheus, Blade Runner) and directed by Sergio Mimica-Gezzan (Battlestar Galactica, The Pillars Of The Earth). Halo: Nightfall stars Mike Colter (The Good Wife), Christina Chong (24: Live Another Day), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow) and Luke Neal (Final Prayer).
The film is set between Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians and will introduce characters that are important to the new game.
Halo: Nightfall tells the personal story of Jameson Locke, a legendary manhunter and agent with the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), Earth’s most powerful and secretive military branch. The film provides the background to this pivotal new character in the Halo universe, who will play a key role in the next gaming instalment. So the film will be the ideal way of keeping fans entertained until Halo 5: Guardians finally arrives.
Whilst investigating terrorist “chatter” on the distant colony world of Sedra, Locke and his crew are caught in a horrific biological attack. Led by Locke, ONI agents are forced to coordinate with the local command who have a deep-rooted mistrust of ONI. As they unravel a plot that draws them to an ancient, hellish artefact, they are forced to fight for their survival and to make the ultimate choice between their loyalty and their lives.
Content Media is set to release Halo: Nightfall on VOD on 17 March 2015 but until then, you can watch the trailer below:
