Title: Half Life the movie?
Post by: agrum on November 30, 2011, 11:15:23 PM
What would you guys think of a Half Life movie? Not a cheap one, I mean a largescale one. What do you think it should be about?
Ideas? Feel free to share.


Also check this out, it is kind of creepy how close these are.

IMHO, Hollywood like they're usually are will fuck up the movie, oh wait they will.

Honestly, I think it's a stupendous idea. I don't know why nobody other than the purchase bros. never really bothered to make a HL2 movie. Even they, who spent money to do it, made it a short film like a couple minutes long. I'd love to see an actualy movie movie like a two hour one.

People haven't done it because video games that end up becoming movies, are the worst movies in existence since they always fuck up either the story or everything overall. I'm glad they haven't made one yet, because it would be complete shit if they do.

It would be interesting to have completely new characters that would explain the story a tad bit better, like starting from the 7 hour war.

Hell, they could call it 7 Hour War.

its "creepy" because they're the people valve modeled off of, not just random people who happen to look like characters from hl2

Well, that is pretty cool. But do you have proof my friend? I do not doubt you, I would just like to read about it.

If I were directing a half-life movie, i'd choose the half-life2 timezone, and make it a movie about the resistance and their struggles + at the beginning of the film it would be the tale of the 7 hour way, then it comes out of the flashback and its a resistance member telling the story.

Good idea, if it was made I'd watch it. Maybe have Eli or something narrate the 7 hour war as well.

If they did it from the rebel prespective...maybe. It would not work from Gordans point of view...cus he cannot talk...

Out of all the characters you'd have as the lead of a film, I dont think a mute who runs around gunning everything would be a good sell

I think it could either be really good, or a complete piece of shit.  It depends who makes it, who the actors are, and what it's about.  I couldn't bother thinking of an idea myself but I think it could be made really well.

You know those photos are actually the reference people that valve used to model after them?

this would be amazing or a load of shit, but if made through the perspective of the rebels, and it turns out amazing it would be a big seller

It's funny as I always wanted to get into making machinimas, and the whole aspect of it being a rebel/citizen's point of view before/during/after the 7 hour war was going to be something I would try and do, if I ever got around to it.

Well I think it's an okay idea and the people who will make the movie won't neccisairly ruin it. They could make it about the 7 Hour War. Or about what happend in Ravenholm.....

Anyway, we will see. Infact there's rumors about people looking for producsors ECT for the Dead Island movie so if it could turn out better than the Mario Bros. movie then maybe Half Life 2 the movie won't be so bad.

Hate to ruin this for you, but the voice actor for Dr. Breen is dead.

REALLY REALLY Close sounds good man! Probaly should be about a struggle to survive as a anticitizen and mishab in the city

For those who are dead, there are always replacements. Maybe not the same, but similar.

There has been an attempt on one by fans, but it turned into a 'short' movie sadly.
