Epic Crossover That Almost United Halo and Doom
Have you ever imagined a crossover between Master Chief and Doom Slayer? The creators of the animated series "Secret Level" certainly did. Tim Miller and Dave Wilson, the creative minds behind the show, pitched this exciting idea to Microsoft and id Software. Unfortunately, their proposal was turned down. But don't worry, there's still plenty to enjoy in the series as each episode explores different video games, bringing some unexpected choices to the screen.
Secret Level's Unique Approach
"Secret Level" is an anthology series on Amazon, with each episode inspired by a different video game. Some of the games chosen for adaptation might surprise you. Imagine seeing episodes based on Pac-Man, Unreal Tournament, and even Sifu. The creators have faced some criticism about their game choices, but they remain committed to their vision.
The Challenges of Game Crossovers
During a chat with Collider, Miller and Wilson discussed the hurdles they faced while trying to create crossover episodes. They revealed their desire to explore crossovers not available in games. However, getting permission to use game IPs isn't easy. Despite their best efforts, some ideas, like the Master Chief/Doom Slayer crossover, were rejected.
Wilson shared how he spent an entire weekend crafting a heartfelt pitch, only to be met with a firm "no." Miller and Wilson even attempted to include Half-Life in their series but faced similar challenges.
Looking Ahead
Despite the setbacks, the creators are optimistic about the future. With Season 2 confirmed, they have more opportunities to bring beloved games to life on screen. Miller hopes to release new episodes annually, though it requires a lot of effort and a massive team.
