I've always hoped for a Half-Life movie. It has all of the components to make a great movie. In my opinion this is the greatest story ever told in a video game. HL is truly epic.

I agree. And they made this with a small budget, donated parts, homemade costumes and Source SDK.

It's just amazing.

If this turned into a film, this would be the only great "game to movie" ever to come out.

I totally agree. The story is so good! It would be hard to make a good movie on it though.

very nicely put together. I dont really see why the Half Life concept cant be made in to a film. If they made that on $500 then a well funded film could do it easily.

this is the way a movie about Half Life should be made; not involve Freeman. you can have other characters mention what he's doing, which then ties it back to the game, but we don't need him as the main character. valve look impressed by this which might hopefully lead them to relinquish their tight hold on the rights to a movie - Uwe Boll has been hounding Valve for a while about making the movie but valve (quite rightly) don't want some turd brain like Boll to ruin their IP with a sub-standard flick.

Steven Spielberg needs to do the Half Life movie. No one else. It's too awesome to let it go to just anyone. It needs the biggest budget ever in a movie for all the awesome effects.
