Oscar-winning veteran movie director Steven Spielberg was more involved with the Halo TV series than some might have imagined or expected. Spielberg's Amblin TV company produced the Halo series, and we now know that the E.T. and Indiana Jones director "godfathered" the project and contributed to "every aspect" of it, in some capacity at least.

"We treated it as though it was a legacy project of Steven's," producer Darryl Frank told Total Film (via GamesRadar). "He godfathered it in terms of reading every script, helping choose showrunners, writers, director, cast, production design, and visual effects; every aspect of it, he looked at."

Fans may recall that Spielberg appeared in the initial Halo TV series announcement video all the way back in 2013, so his connection to the series dates back quite a while.
