J.J. Abrams and Gabe Newell in talks to maybe make Half-Life or Portal movie - Polidicks

[IMG]http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2013/02/jjgabe530.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]During today's [URL="http://joystiq.com/tag/dice-2013"]DICE[/URL] keynote conversation between movie director J.J. Abrams and Valve co-founder Gabe Newell, the latter noted a collaboration he's looking forward to making a reality. "We're going to try and figure out if we can make a Half-Life movie or a Portal movie together," said Gabe Newell. ... There are no details available beyond this brief announcement, likely because the process is still in its early stages.[/QUOTE] [URL]http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/06/newell-valve-looking-to-make-portal-or-half-life-move-with-j-j/[/URL] Personally Valve has specifically stated that they would not make a movie unless the story was actually good. Seeing what J.J. did with Star Trek could make this actually work.

lens-life get it??? the joke is that j.j abrams uses lens flare a lot in his movies

i guess you can say that a beautiful flower will 'bloom' from this collaboration.

Hope this works out and this doesn't end up being the last we hear of this.

Even though I do like Abrams as a director, I'm still worried that it's going to be complete shit.

i'm flared up with hype

Oh god what

Also J.J. Abrams wants to make a game with valve, or at least and idea [QUOTE]"There's an idea for a game that we'd really like to work with Valve on."[/QUOTE]

This is fantastic ..

[QUOTE=barttool;39495861]bUT POSTALLL I posted this first.[/QUOTE] Your thread ID ended in 6, this one ends in 5. He was first (barely).

Or it could be J.J.Abrams helping Gabe with HL3 ONE CAN DREAM

We already have a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life:_Escape_from_City_17"]Half-Life movie[/URL]

Is there anything JJ Abrams can't do?

As long as Gabe is overseeing it, it should have a chance.

[QUOTE=postal;39495876]Your thread ID ended in 6, this one ends in 5. He was first (barely).[/QUOTE] aw ok.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;39495865]Cloverfield game plz[/QUOTE] Just go on any FPS game and spin your mouse really fast.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;39496443]I'd rather not see a movie made at all. Even with Gabe overseeing it, you can't really change the fact that these games arent really suitable for being made into a movie. They would have a better chance with Left4Dead. On top of that, there hasnt been a video game/movie adaptation to date that has reached beyond the level of mediocrity. I'm not too confident they can pull it off; maybe I'm being too pessimistic though.[/QUOTE] Yeah Gordon would look autistic and retarded in a feature film.

lol no one wants a fucking movie just get off your asses and release episode 3

[QUOTE=LeonS;39495805]lens-life get it??? the joke is that j.j abrams uses lens flare a lot in his movies[/QUOTE] Star-trek is the only movie he overuses lens-flare in

[QUOTE=HybridTheroy;39496693]Star-trek is the only movie he overuses lens-flare in[/QUOTE] And the lens flare in star trek wasn't even that bad.

[QUOTE=Barbarian887;39496658]lol no one wants a fucking movie just get off your asses and release episode 3[/QUOTE] What if Episode 3 IS the movie? :tinfoil:

You know what I'd enjoy more than a Half-Life movie? [I]A Half-Life game. You know, the Half-Life game we've been waiting for since 2007.[/I]

[QUOTE=Stopper;39496748]You know what I'd enjoy more than a Half-Life movie? [I]A Half-Life game. You know, the Half-Life game we've been waiting for since 2007.[/I][/QUOTE] I don't care how long it takes them to make the game, as long as the time is well spent on it.

Not like it'd ruin it, half life EPs already has bloom.
