After Four Years Development Reassured...Again For Halo TV Series.

Halo TV series. Those three words have been doing the rounds for at least four and a half years now with Steven Spielberg's involvement a certainty. Well the series is definitely still on, allegedly. TV Guide at the Television Critics Association winter press tour, asked Showtime bosses whether we're still getting a live-action television series based on one of the biggest video game franchises.

"[It's] still in very active development," Showtime President and CEO David Nevins said. Nevins wouldn't comment further, but he did say he's seen scripts.

His answer was bugging me. It sounded familiar somehow so I decided to look back through The Bearded Trio archives and found the following stories relating to the Halo TV series.

21st May 2013 - Spielberg announced at the launch of the XBox One he is involved in a Halo TV project.

18th Aug 2015 - The TV series is still in development. "It's still in development," David Nevins told IGN about the Halo TV show. "Still in very active development." (Sound familiar?)

25th Jul 2017 - Xbox Entertainment studios close but we're reassured by Microsoft that “Progress on the Halo Television Series continues...We have no further details to share at this time.”

I realise these projects sometimes hit problems and are not always plain sailing but the same stock answer year after year makes me think this project is going absolutely no where. I hope I'm proved wrong and more information gets released but for now I wonder if we have more chance of seeing Half Life 3 before a Halo TV series.

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Explaining That "Weird" Cut In Poltergeist. Read The Missing Scene

Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie. It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen. First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne. Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened. It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut. One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door. Why the sudden cut? It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions. Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist? Watch the clip below to see the cut: Well, the ans
