Valve, the game developer behind Half-Life and Portal, and J.J. Abrams? production studio Bad Robot will work together to produce games and movies, the heads of the two studios said at the DICE Summit on Wednesday.

?There?s an idea we have for a game that we?d like to work with Valve on,? said Abrams while sharing the stage with Valve head Gabe Newell.

?We?re going to figure out if we can make a Portal movie or Half-Life movie together,? Newell said.

I have a feeling that this is just teasing some big announcement from Valve. At least, that's what I'm hoping for. C'mon, Half-Life!

Ah yes, because working together to create movies and games translates to JJ Abrams taking over Valve.

I think you may be misrepresenting there ever so slightly in the title.

Now based on the actual story, it could be interesting to see what happens between the two, I'm certainly intrigued to see if Abrams can make a video game movie that isn't widely panned anyway.

Pretty nice, Abrams is a very talented director who might make a watchable video game movie for once.
Yeah, I'm not sure if "very talented" applies, but I do agree, he could turn out some watchable video game films.

Working together =/= J.J. Abrams has taken of Valve. Misleading title is misleading.

Sweet, Abrams can direct an other timeless nerd franchise: HL. Take it easy J.J., one project at a time there.

It's a film making technique that Abrams likes to use just a little too much.

So J.J. Abrams is going to control Star Wars, Star Trek, and Half Life movies? It is official: he is the most powerful person in all of nerd culture.

So what you're telling me is that there will be an Ep 3, but it will be incredibly anti-climatic and end with all the Half life Characters in a church?

Well, he's not Scorcese but he managed to take and old and stale Science Fiction series and turn it into an enjoyable action movie.
Dude, do you know how much Nerd Rage you're just incited? It's heresy among a lot of the trekkies to imply the New trek movie was good.

Oh poor J.J. doesn't know what he is getting into here. These are Valve fans we are dealing with, if he makes a movie out of their franchisees and it doesn't both cure cancer and give free blowjobs he will quickly set a record for "most mail bombs revived in one hour"
