Hugh Laurie as Gordon Freeman?

[The Procrastinated End]

*thinks*

Its possible...

I wonder why he would think that...

 

[Luke5515]

Any movie, regardless of actor would ruin the character and series.

No, Freeman already exists. He is currently working at the Large Hadron Collider, planning our impending doom.

But he is the only one that can save us!

 

[DarkPanda XIII]

I'd agree, though by the time that they would make the movie, Huge Laurie might be too old for the role, since it seems every time I see Gordon's face, he's roughly in his late 30s early 40s, and Laurie would be in his late fifties by then....I know, make up would work, but still, only so much.

He's only there to prevent a resonance cascade.

 

[Tyzamar]

What no comments about Edward Norton?

 

[Souplex]

Hugh Laurie has too much personality to play a disembodied pair of hands.
There is no in game evidence that he even looks like that, it's all just the box art.

Valve have said that the "meet the team" videos are experiments regarding making a CGI film, and I would assume that HL would be the chosen franchise... so... sadly no Hugh Laurie needed; even if he does look suspiciously right for the role.

...Stephen Fry as the G-Man would be utterly win, too.

I uh...what's your logic here?

The depiction of Gordon on the box-art is EXACTLY the same Gordon we play as.

 

[Sassafrass]

I like the optimism and innocence in this thread, gives me a warm feeling.

It's amazing, isn't it?
We should really crush it.

Er...well, we seem to be pitching random actors, so I'm going to say David Tennant or Simon Pegg, maybe? ...Yeah, those suggestions were bad.

 

[Vigormortis]

No, Freeman already exists. He is currently working at the Large Hadron Collider, planning our impending doom.

So...you're saying it's a safe bet we'll eventually hear some rumblings in the news about something called a "resonance cascade" occurring at the LHC in CERN?

Better get out the crowbars.

You know, I've always felt that Valve could very, very easily dabble in film making. They've already taken advice (and talent) from the likes of Weta, Pixar, and ILM.

Im...Im really sorry, I read this as Large Hardon collider, and Just burst out laughing. but those are some almost creepily similar people.

OT: Sure, id see House as Gordon. Just dont talk.

 

[SFR]

Well, alright, but only if he doesn't talk. If he's gonna talk, he has to be voiced by Ross Scott, maker of Freeman's Mind. Any other voice would sound really weird to me. Besides:

He looks pretty darn close, right?

 

[No_Remainders]

So Hugh Laurie as House if House didn't talk? Sound pretty awesome actually.

More like Hugh Laurie as house with a gun crowbar and no voice...

I like it!

 

[Sacman]

It could work. But i don't think valve would approve of a Half life movie.

they said before that if there was gonna be a Half-Life movie they'll do it themselves...

 

[C95J]

!

When I saw this thread title I just gaped, and thought: This guy is a genius!

 

[KaiRai]

No! Because every line of dialogue Hugh Laurie has ever spoken is solid platinum.

I'd day Clive Owen for Gordon Freeman. But it's still a shame he can't speak....

 

[JeanLuc761]

Realistically, while Hugh Laurie is awesome, Gordon doesn't need much more than a physical presence. Eric Clapton could fit the bill

 

[oranger]

It'd be a massive waste of Mr. Laurie's talent. Gordon Freeman is an empty marionette.
Hugh Laurie is an actor.
