“It’s with great disappointment that changes to the production schedule of Halo prevent me from continuing in my role as a director on the series,” he told Deadline.
“My time on Halo has been a creatively rich and rewarding experience with a phenomenal team of people. I now join the legion of fans out there, excited to see the finished series and wishing everyone involved the very best.”
The series has had a trouble inception, with finally 10 episodes ordered by Showtime and likely coming around 2020.
It’s reportedly big and one that will help Showtime increase its scope in the likes of HBO’s Game of Thrones, something we as gamers couldn’t be happier about.
“Showtime’s adaptation of Halo is evolving beautifully with rich characters, compelling stories and powerful scripts,” said Gary Levine, president of programming at Showtime Networks.
“Obviously, the production demands of this series are enormous, and we have had to add time to the schedule in order to do it right.”
