Nicolai Fuglsig’s ‘Halo 4’ E3 2012 Trailer Imagines ‘Halo’ As A Live-Action Movie
I’m not sure we’ll ever get a live-action movie adaptation of Halo, but the advertising world has been doing a good job of showing us what it could look like.Neill Blomkamp(District 9) was the first to realize the game in live action ina short filmwhich also served as a test for a Halo movie that never got made.Rupert Sanders(Snow White and The Huntsman)directed a spotforHalo 3andmore recentlyHalo 3: ODST. Israeli commercial directorNoam Murro(Smart People)did some spotsforHalo: Reach.
At E3 2012, Microsoft revealed a new must-see live-action Halo trailer for Halo 4 directed by Danish commercial director and former photo journalistNicolai Fuglsig.
Fuglsig directed one of my favorite commercials of all time, the original Sony Bravia spot with the colored bouncy balls being dropped over the streets of San Francisco (if you’ve never seen it, watch it here). Fuglsig has a few feature films in development, inclusing a futuristic sci-fi take on Robin Hood at Atlas Entertainment, A CIA Action Drama namedHorse SoldiersforJerry Bruckheimer, anArnold Schwarzeneggeraction film titledCaptive, and a project calledBrass Monkey.
The new Halo 4 trailer introduces the marines of the UNSC Infinity to the popular game series. The two-and-a-half-minute trailer is titled “The Commissioning” and was created out of McCann Erickson agency twofifteenmccann and 343 Industries. The music was scored byNeil Davidge, of the band Massive Attack, who also created the music for theHalo 4game.Mark Rolston, the actor who provides the voice of Captain Del Rio in the game,even appearsin the trailer as his live-action counterpart.
