Responding to IGN‘s rumour about Half-Life and Portal movies, JJ Abrams said, “Not yet, but they’re in development, and we’ve got writers, and we’re working on both those stories. But nothing that would be an exciting update.” Still, awesome news!
First, there was a brief flurry of activity on the subject in 2013, when Abrams and Gabe at the DICE summit collaborated on the cross-platform storytelling. Newell stated that “either a Portal movie or a Half-Life movie” could work, while Abrams said he’d like to make a game with Valve.
A while back, Newell talked about the movie projects:
Their stories were just so bad. I mean, brutally, the worst. Not understanding what made the game a good game, or what made the property an interesting thing for people to be a fan of.
