A teaser trailer has emerged for the upcoming Halo mini series, Nightfall. We reported last month about the series and gave an insight into what you can expect and when you will get to see it. Look back at the article here.

Mike Colter (The Good Wife, The Following, Ringer) has been cast as Agent Locke and had this to say to Variety:

“It was a new medium for me. Who would the audience be? How would they access the series? Fortunately, ensuring accessibility to a broad audience is one of the things that Scott Free TV and 343 values first and foremost.

Not only does Halo: Nightfall cater to the hardcore Halo fans, but it’s also designed so newcomers to the franchise, like me, can easily enter the Halo universe, identify with the characters and be entertained by the story being told on screen.

When I first heard of the project it was presented as a film that would then later be edited into chapters. So in almost every way it is a film. The only difference is that it will be released in segments.”

Asked about his favorite bit of filming on the project, he says:

“My favorite experience thus far would be shooting a scene in Belfast where I’m chasing an enemy who poses a serious threat to the people Agent Locke has sworn to protect through the city. The scene is an action-packed sequence that involves some cool special effects and a lot of coordination with the stunt team to fulfill the director’s vision. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.”

The supporting cast have also been announced and there is a big UK influence in it with actors from England and Northern Ireland.
