So, recently came two news items that excited me.
The first was the official confirmation of the existence of Cortana yesterday, Microsoft's answer to Siri. I have to saw, I was impressed by the teaser trailer. Not because I have the capacity to support a Third-Generation Smart AI in MJOLNIR or an Android, but because it perfectly captures how I think the robot uprising will look like in its opening stages. Trust me, the Terminator isn't going to turn up at your door asking about John Connor. It'll already know where he is.
But I digress.
The other thing was apparent confirmation at last that Ridley Scott and David Zucker are actually producing a "digital feature project". Just as exciting to me is the claim that Battlestar Galactica director Sergio Mimica-Gezzan, who has also collaborated with Steven Spielberg, is in talks to direct it. I was a huge fan of the rebooted BSG back in the day, though I will be hard pressed to find an ending as infuriating as "It actually was God all along lol Jimmy Hendrix". Moreover, he's also worked on Heroes, another show that I initially loved until the second season got weird, and The Pillars of the Earth, an adaptation of a book I loved which I still haven't seen yet but dearly want to. Scott, the producer, director and cowriter of the original Alien movie, Blade Runner, and Prometheus, just to name a few influences on Halo (I count Prometheus. Did you see the Didact?) was rumoured to be working on a Halo Movie a while ago, which was denied pretty solidly at the time. Does the fact that it will apparently get only a digital distribution mean that we're getting something akin to another Forward Unto Dawn? I liked FUD, but splitting it up into episodes made it feel weirdly paced, at least to me. More importantly, what does "a surgically-enhanced super soldier who is not Master Chief" mean? Is this going to be Spartan Ops 2, or, as I'm hoping, is this going to focus on older, more experienced Spartan-II or III characters, like Blue Team? And, of course, does the fact that this story was broken by a news website that specialises in Hollywood news make it any less credible?
