So in case you weren’t excited enough about it, Microsoft have just gone and announced that they’ve gotten some big names on board to help blow the roof off of Halo 4! Who might you ask? Well it’s these guys, David Fincher and Tim Miller:
“Today Microsoft and 343 Industries announced renowned Hollywood director David Fincher (“Fight Club,” “The Social Network,” “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”) as executive producer and acclaimed visual effects lead Tim Miller (“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”) as the director of the launch trailer for the most anticipated blockbuster game of the year, “Halo 4.” In partnership with 343 Industries and agency twofifteenmccann, Fincher and Miller will help deliver an emotionally-charged look at the backstory of “Halo’s” iconic hero, the Master Chief…
…Titled “Scanned,” the trailer is an action-packed cinematic production that offers a captivating look at the backstory of Master Chief, and provides a glimpse of the new threat he will encounter in “Halo 4.” Filmed in Prague, “Scanned” continues the franchise’s tradition of expanding the universe through award-winning live-action stories, adding to the lore and anticipation for the next chapter in the landmark franchise that has sold more than 43 million game copies worldwide and generated more than $3 billion in franchise sales.“
The trailer will be launched ahead of Halo 4’s release on November 6th (obviously) and fans who want to set their calendars for the trailer reveal on the 18th of October on the Jimmy Fallon show! In the meantime you can however reminisce over these fantastic live action trailers from past Halo games… we think ‘Reach’ is our favourite, it always brings a tear to the eye and an itch to our trigger finger!
And it seems a fan was kind enough to pool the trailers together for us, so enjoy!
