Halo 3 doc coming
Bungie.net confirms short film focusing on the E3 2006 trailer of its anticipated shooter; doc will feature new "angles" on trailer.
When a company has a property as hot as the Halo franchise at its disposal, it would do well to keep major details under wraps until just the right time. It's also important that little nuggets of info get planted into the minds of its fans to keep them happy and keep the message boards lit up with "Master Chief r00lz" posts.
After denying for quite some time that it was heading back into the Halo-verse, Bungie revealed--through a trailer shown at Microsoft's pre-E3 press conference--that it is working on Halo 3. Though the trailer was enough to send Halo fans into orbit, the news that it was made entirely from the in-game engine blasted them to another dimension.
Those eager to learn anything and everything about the trailer will get the chance soon. On Bungie.net, "content monkey" Frankie O'Conner reveals that a short documentary about the trailer's making is in the works. The film will concentrate on what went into making the teaser, as well as those involved in creating it. It's unlikely that new footage will be included, but Frankie promises that fans will get a look at the trailer from new "angles." It is currently unclear how or when the documentary will be released.
GameSpot got a look at some those angles behind closed doors with Bungie reps at E3, documented in a close-up look at the trailer. Halo 3 is currently scheduled to be released on the Xbox 360 sometime in 2007.
