Half-Life movie?
Would this not be awesomely awesome? I personally think it would make quite the profit; they might have trouble displaying Gordon's character, but it could be interesting. Your thoughts?
Make money - yes
Be a good film - probably not
Dissapoint HL fans - almost certainly
Be true to the games - WTF is continuity
Basicly it would go the same way as all aother game-to-films
They would probably have to make it based around some other character that isnt in any of the games.
Base it on the struggle out of the city during HL2/episode 1 and it might be quite good
Base it on the gap between HL1 and HL2 and it would probably be quite poor and introduce new elements that don't fit with the games well.
Base it before and it would be terrible.
I could go on and on, but the general jist of this is that unless valve work VERY closely with the writers and directors it will be crap.
NO NO NO! NO half-life MOVIE
THAT'S FO SHO!
I was discussing this topic with a friend of mine. We came to the conclusion that much of the players' speculation about Gordon Freeman is a part of Half-life. Making a movie about it would suck because I say so.

I could see a HL movie being made. And youme is absolutly right when it comes to it will be terrible.
But the HL plot is solid, so there is a slim chance they could pull it off.
Their only hope is if the director/producer are HL fans to begin with.
One day, it'll probably happen regardless of what we want. Hollywood is terrible when it comes to origonal ideas. So...

Who says you're not liked here? I don't mind you at all.

That writers arent crap of course, Valve has Eric Wolpaw and also Marc Laidlaw. So the movie wouldnt suck, however Valve doesn't want to make a movie as the6y have already stated due to not being able to find any worthy film ideas. Nor a good director. So movie? The final say is: No, not in Hell.

Onto another thing, we dont hate you lol. emo kid....
But Valve wouldnt settle for anything that low, so you wont see something unless all 150 people at Valve agree all with it. And thats alot of opinions.
Interesting links. Thanks, Quentin.
I think most of G4's casting suggestions are really good. Edward Norton would make a great Gordon Freeman, and Rosario Dawson as Alyx kinda makes me horny...
OK, I admit it, Rosario Dawson makes me horny, full stop.
Not so sure about casting Danny Glover and Sean Connery, though... their voices/accents are too unlike the HL characters.
