True, true. I knew from the get-go that Ridley Scott would have little involvement with the project.

That said, his name was a draw, wasn't it? Before we had the name Nightfall (and even afterwards) the miniseries was known as Ridley Scott's Halo project. It wasn't Micheal Colter's name on it, it wasn't "The Xbox One Halo Miniseries".

Not that much different from Steven Spielberg, come to think of it.

: Also IMDB says that the budget was 70 million, which cannot be right. Elysium
: was made for 70 million, and had much better production values and
: effects. If that's the real budget, none of that money made it to screen.

Um... wow.

Does IMDB have a source for that?
I guess not. And I can't see Microsoft sinking that much into a miniseries either.
