There’s something futuristic about Simon Fraser University’s campus on Burnaby Mountain. It’s been used as a location for The X-Files, for various Stargate television shows, and now as an alien world for Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.

Here’s my look at the web series that ran in the Georgia Straight

In early May, the Internet was abuzz with rumours that a live-action Halo production was filming at Simon Fraser University. The last time Microsoft’s popular video game franchise was talked about in this context was when a feature film, to be directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by Peter Jackson, was cancelled—sorry, “indefinitely postponed”—in 2006. When asked what was up by Kotaku on May 2, SFU officials simply issued a statement that something called “Sleeper” was shooting in the concrete jungle.
