The full trailer called “Scanned”, showing a little bit more of the story of Master Chief, will make its debut during Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on October 18.

David Fincher of Fight Club fame is executive producing it, while Tim Miller of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is directing it.

“I’m excited about the opportunity to direct the Halo 4 launch trailer in creative partnership with 343 Industries and David Fincher,” said Miller. He adds, “Our goal is to deliver a blockbuster, Hollywood-quality trailer that raises the bar for the award-winning legacy of live-action Halo storytelling and gets fans stoked for the return of Master Chief.”

“Halo is one of the most iconic sci-fi universes, with a depth that allows for amazingly cinematic and emotionally riveting stories. The chance to tell a story that explores never-before-seen facets of Master Chief’s journey is an honor.”

Woot woot, I’m excited to see this. first we have Forward unto Dawn setting up the backstory of Tom Lasky and his relationship to Master Chief, now we get a 2-minute trailer as well!
