As reported over on Wired.com and confirmed via Twitter by GTTV's Geoff Keighley (as seen above), the 2013 DICE Summit opening presentation entitled "Storytelling Across Platforms" closed out with a surprise announcement as Valve's Gabe Newell stated that “We’re going to figure out if we can make a Portal movie or Half-Life movie together" when referring to J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot production studio. In addition, Abrams stated that “There’s an idea we have for a game that we’d like to work with Valve on."

Thoughts?

it will suck most likely, not that he is a bad director but just that game movies

I'd watch a portal movie I suppose, mainly just because GLaDOS is such an incredible antagonist

I don't see how a half-life movie could be successful with a silent protagonist and giving him a voice would cause an explosion of infinite rage

Not likely if it's Half Life(hopefully along the lines of half-life 2) Someone already tried to make a Half life 2 movie, it was pretty good but, the "producers" gave up on the project.

I got it. U r joke noob.

Well, if the portal 2 movie has to do with Chell trying to escape with Wheatley and the 2 testing bots, i couldn't see why it wasn't a good movie.

If they make a movie it will be bad- but I will watch it.

If they make JJ Abrams' game idea, it will be good- and I won't play it.

If they make this. Gaben better not screw this up.

I cant wait to see how this comes out.
Seeing as how these are my 2 favorite games loving ever.

I'd watch them both, half life seems like a movie type of game

Half Life film that leads up to the evens of Half Life 3

games never translate into good movies

Gordon Freeman wouldn't have to be the main protagonist. It can still take place in the Half Life universe, but have a completely different main character.

John Freeman who was Gordon Freeman's brother was one day in an office typing on a computer. He got an email from Gabe Newell that said that JJ Abrams was making a Half-Life aksed him for help so he went.
