If you’re like me and think everything looks better on a movie screen, I’ve got some cool news to share. BeforeHaloairs its first episode on March 24th on Paramount+, Collider is partnering up with the streamer and Alamo Drafthouse to show the first two episodes of the anticipated series on movie screens for FREE in Denver, Austin, New York City, and Los Angeles on the night of March 23rd.
In addition, following the screenings in Denver, Austin, and New York City, we’ll be showing an exclusive Q&A with the cast and producers. The reason L.A. won’t be watching the Q&A is because our screening is actually in conjunction with the big premiere in Hollywood, so you’ll actually be in the theater with the cast and enjoying some surprises.
If for some reason you haven’tseen the kick-ass trailer, the series — just like the games — follows a 26th century showdown between humanity and an intergalactic threat known as the Covenant. In an effort to win the war, Dr. Halsey (Natascha McElhone) creates genetically enhanced super-soldiers named the Spartans to combat the alien force. The series follows Master Chief Spartan John-117 (Pablo Schreiber), the commander of a Spartan unit. Although drawing heavily from the video game’s stories, the showtakes place in its own timeline.Halois produced by Showtime in partnership with 343 Industries, along with Amblin Television, and will premiere exclusively on Paramount+.Jen Taylor,Bokeem Woodbine,Shabana Azmi,Natasha Culzac,Olive Gray,Yerin Ha,Bentley Kalu,Kate Kennedy,Charlie Murphy,Danny Sapani,Ryan McParland,Burn Gorman, andFiona O’Shaughnessyalso round out the show’s cast.Steven Kane(The Last Ship) andKyle Killenserve as showrunners.
