So you don't trust that JJ Abrams is busy as hell and can't work on the film right away?
Haha, not to completely ignore how busy that man is, I agree that Kotaku is not the place I'd go to for information on things I actually want to be informed about. Not that I expect a Half-Life movie at all, I'm just saying. In fact, I really hope they DO NOT make a movie of Half-Life.
If there's one thing worse than a sequel to a movie based on a book, it's a movie based off a game.
