This isn't the first attempt to adapt Halo: Combat Evolved (2001). Fox and Universal once cooperated on a movie version in 2005 that was set to be directed by Neill Blomkamp from a screenplay by Alex Garland and with Peter Jackson as supervising producer. However, Microsoft, the owner of the Halo series, had a long list of creative and financial demands. Of these creative demands, Microsoft wanted to stay rigidly faithful to the game's backstory without major compromises. When costs started to mount and Fox threatened to pull out, Universal wanted Jackson and Blomkamp to give up their share of the box office, which they refused. The project was eventually shelved after $10 million had already been spent on development. Paramount then greenlit this TV series in 2018, without involvement of Jackson, Blomkamp, and Garland.
