Following April's news that American Gods actor Pablo Schrieber would be stepping into the great clonking boots of Master Chief for the long-in-development Halo TV series, Showtime has announced casting details for MC's blue AI chum Cortana, and a host of other characters.
Cortana - "the most advanced AI in human history, and potentially the key to the survival of the human race", according to Showtime's announcement - will be played by Natascha McElhone (Californication, The Truman Show), who, in a dual role, will also star as Dr. Catherine Halsey, "the brilliant, conflicted and inscrutable creator of the Spartan supersoldiers".
Elsewhere, Fargo's Bokeem Woodbine will take on the role of Soren-066, "a morally complex privateer at the fringes of human civilization whose fate will bring him into conflict with his former military masters and his old friend, the Master Chief", and Shabana Azmi will feature as Office of Naval Intelligence head, Admiral Margaret Parangosky.
