Half-Life movie?
I could easily see a good story line, graphics, animation, environment... etc but the 1 thing that'll put me off is hearing a word spoken by Gordon Freemon lips.
I have a good idea for a Half-life 2 movie, i could write it down but whats the point, i'm not some millionaire that can afford thousands of workers and am not even the age to be playing half-life 2 in the first place... actually i just am.. anyways.
In order for them to make the movie, they will have to finish the game to give the movie a full story... i could easily see 2 movies based on half-life seeing as the story of half-life is so huge that it may have to be split up into either 2 movies, for one three hour movie that has too much talking.
Who needs a movie, just play the games and Voila! instant interactive movie... 
If they did make a movie, i agree it would spoil the aspect of half life, and everythng you've created in your imagination.
I liked quentin's links, it was humourous how close some celebs were to the in game characters.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake!?
Hell to the No of Edward Norton. This guy looks way better: http://www.hlfallout.net/content/potd.php?id=23502
Baha. That looks like Hugh Laurie's (from the tv show "House") head pasted onto a hazard suit.

Best Gordon Freeman look alike though.
Bill Cobbs as Eli Vance?
If my new physics teacher lost just a little weight he'd be the spitting image of Gordon Freeman.
My strongest opinion on the matter: If any of the characters from HL1/2 are in a movie about Half Life it should be like a breencast on a tv in the background or Dr Kleiner giving an infomercial after the top of the citadel explodes.
IMO, the main problem there is that even if they get the actors to look like the in-game models, it still wouldn't be quite right because the voices would be wrong. For example, the casting suggestion above looks enough like Eli to do the job, but what are the odds he can replicate Eli's dry rasp?
They'd have to dub the entire movie like an anime.

Because it IS Hugh Laurie. Note the description under the image:
"Dr Freehouse."
