Make room, Master Chief. Microsoft's Xbox sci-fi saga Halo is getting another leading man.
The upcoming live-action series Halo: Nightfall will chronicle the story of Jameson Locke, an agent with the Office of Naval Intelligence who eventually becomes an armored Spartan like the Master Chief.
At Comic-Con today in San Diego, the creative team behind the series, due later this year, offered the first public discussion of the project. On hand were franchise director Frank O'Connor and executive producer Kiki Wolfkill of 343 Industries, the studio that oversees all things Halo at Microsoft.
They were joined by David Zucker of Scott Free Productions, the Ridley Scott-owned TV and film studio co-producing the series, and actor Mike Colter (The Good Wife), who will play Locke.
"It seemed like a really exciting and palpable partnership to bring the visionary that is Ridley is, in collaboration with a historic franchise like Halo," said Zucker, who is president of Scott Free and has executive produced The Good Wife and Numb3rs. He, Wolfkill and lead writer Paul Scheuring (A Man Apart, Prison Break) talked to USA TODAY before the fan fest.
