We got an in-depth look at Paramount’s upcoming Halo TV series, and fans are all over the place with Cortana’s look.
Long before Cortana was a disembodied voice on Windows, she was the sidekick to Master Chief in the Halo video games. Cortana is a fan-favorite character brought to life by actress Jen Taylor, who’s played Cortana since 2001’s Halo: Combat Evolved. In a very uncommon move for video game adaptations, be they good or bad, Taylor is resuming her role in Paramount’s series. Many were thrilled to hear this, but the reception to Cortana’s live-action look is less than glowing.
Watch the new trailer for Paramount’s Halo to see what I mean.
