Man, J. J. Abrams is fast becoming my favorite man in Hollywood with the amount of **** he's taking under his wing.  Newell and Abrams are already past the point of just speaking in hypotheticals, confirming the prospect of a Half-Life or Portal movie in the not-too-near future.

This is so, so far from confirmed. Don't get excited until it's in preproduction. Most movies that get to the stage these movies are at right now never make it to the screen.

I feel like a good place in the lore for a Half-Life film might be the Seven Hour War.

EDIT: **** it, im just going to wait until midterms are 100% out of my life before I post on hlp again because my post quality degrades so, so badly during these times

uni does terrible things to me sometimes

So it's definitely, 100% confirmed that they might make a Portal movie. Or a Half Life one. Yea. Definitely. That one

Valve-Life Fortress 4 Dead.

I can't see a portal film being much good. I'd watch a Half-Life one, but it shouldn't try to get too deep. I feel it'd lose some atmosphere if Freeman was actually talking. If it was all POV observational then they might as well have made it a game....

It would be fun to watch William B. Davis portrayal of the G Man.

Ah.

It probably wouldn't involve Freeman. I think it would probably cover a portion of the Black Mesa incident, the Seven Hour War, or the rebellion. They could tell an interesting story focusing on several individuals that way, and maybe have cameos by the G Man or Freeman.

[Luis Dias]

It would be basically Cloverfield 2 with some minor upgrades (G-Man).

Please no....... jesus, allah, budda, shiva, gaia, satan whoever the hell is listening stop this travesty please.

[Colonol Dekker]

If they got Bob Hoskins and Duane Johnson to co-star, Hoskins as a HeadCrab, Duane as Gordy and Kevin Spacey as G-Man....

I'd watch.

[Gray113]

First they came for Wing commander and I said nothing...

Then they came for Doom and still I said nothing...

Then they came for Silent Hill and again I said nothing...

Resident Evil was crap by that point anyway...

But now they come for Half-life and I say go an ***K yourself Abrams!

[deathfun]

I think Gray here has little faith in Abrams

[BloodEagle]

I agree with what he (Gray) said.

[NGTM-1R]

I agree with what he (Gray) said.

That's curious, because all of the stuff he cited had no horsepower behind it at all.

[Gray113]

You mean aside from the fact that no-one has ever made a decent film out of a game?
