‘Half-Life’ the Movie? J.J. Abrams and activity maker Device be a part of forces

Guiding the new "Star Wars" movie ("Episode VII," not one of the now progressively complicated expected spin-off films) obviously isn't enough to keep J.J. Abrams active, as he's now got his eye on growing his Bad Software kingdom to the globe of movie gaming.

Abrams and Gabe Newell, the go of activity maker Device, talked at a board at DICE Peak in Las Nevada on Wed, where they created the shock statement that their specific organizations would be becoming a member of causes to generate activities and movies, mixing their strong points to understand from each other and, theoretically, take their specific channels to the next stage.

"There's an concept we have for a activity title that we'd like to perform with Device on," said Abrams, with Newell countering with "We're going to determine if we can create a 'Portal' movie or 'Half-Life' movie together."

The statement came as the ending succeed of a brief combined keynote by Abrams and Newell named "Storytelling Across Platforms: Who Advantages Most, the Viewers or the Player?" Abrams and Newell talked candidly about the pros and cons of both movie and movie gaming, with the Abrams-produced "Cloverfield" being used as an example of an encounter in which the listeners perhaps wanted he or she could more definitely take part (or at least ask Hud why he doesn't just fall the photographic camera and run away from the danger), whereas Newell's "Half-Life" was used as an example of a activity title where, according to Abrams, "players are often requested to mark themselves or connect with incredibly mime vacant veins," talking about the cipher-like character, Gordon Freeman.

"Portal" would certainly offer itself to Abrams' product of crisis-structure (and conspiratorial) sci-fi as the encounter functions the player-protagonist, Chell, being pushed to fix an extremely challenging sequence of questions organized by an synthetic intellect known as GLaDOS (Genetic Lifeform and Drive Managing System), leading to a kind of thinking-man's "TRON." "Portal" is actually a spin-off of the "Half-Life" sequence of activities, which are sci-fi first individual photographers set in and around a top key analysis service and, later, a dystopian World.

No term yet on whether the "Half-Life" movies will also have spin-off movies that concentrate on personal figures like Isaac Kleiner, Barney Calhoun, Eli Vance and Alyx Vance, but if Disney gets engaged you can fairly much depend on it.
