Fans of Halo can now enter a contest that will allow them to become part of the franchise’s highly-anticipated television adaptation. Barring delays, the Halo TV show is expected to drop in 2021.
In an effort to encourage people to donate to a new charity, Microsoft has started a competition known as the All-In Challenge campaign. Halo fans can enter the sweepstakes, putting themselves into contention at winning an ell-expenses paid trip to Budapest and be in a scene of the Halo TV show in full costume. Interested fans can buy 10 entries at $10 and up to 200 entries for $100.
As well as a background role in the shoot, the winner will also get to attend a workout session with Master Chief himself, Pablo Schreiber, ride in a Warthog, and even handle a Needler replica made for the adaptation of the popular video game series. To top it all off, the winner will also get to enjoy dinner with the cast and crew of the production. Microsoft will donate all of the money from its charity campaign efforts to Feeding America, Meals on Wheels, World Central Kitchen and No Kid Hungry.
Developed by Showtime, the Halo TV show was in principle photography until the production company halted work due to the coronavirus pandemic. It stars Shreiber as Master Chief and also stars Californication’s Natascha McElhone who performs double duty as Dr. Catherine Halsey and Cortana.
The Halo TV adaptation was set to premiere in 2021 barring any delay due to COVID-19.
