Poll: If Valve make a Movie

[Jaranja]

i think a portal movie would be awesomesauce. I can already think of several nice young ladies to play the role of Chell, actually.

Isn't Chell middle aged?

Then, I choose Scarlet Johansson. Just because she's incredibly hot and can actually act.

 

[Jammerz]

Also feel free to name who the voice actors should be

Mel Gibson- Bill
That guy who plays Frodo- Ellis
Megan Fox-Zoey

Whats wrong with the voice actors that made the game funny? and the only reason Megan Fox is in movies is because shes hot so as a voice actor she would suck

and how dare you question Bill's voice actor!?!?

Meet the Spy and the L4D2 intro are classics. So I got to thinking why shouldn't these proven video makers get to work on a film? A Left 4 Dead one would be excellent and if they could use Avatars CGI and if they got Bioware to do the script........

I digress. So Escapists (thats a great word) which VALVE game would you like to see be made
into a film by VALVE?

Alright, here's the thing. The reason there are movies and games is because they are not the same thing. They're not very similar. A game is interactive; a game can have a shaky plot and still pull its weight if it has good gameplay (see Mass Effect, Dragon Age, etc.) Movies don't have that luxury. While I love the guys at Bioware in possibly homosexual ways, I don't see them putting out anything of cinematic quality.

Another thing is; the clips you just quoted are two-three minutes long, tops. A movie is not.

Finally, consider that the public is probably bored of sci-fi zombie movies. We've had plenty of both genres in the last decade.

The only one you could make one of is Left 4 Dead. Half-life and Portal are both puzzle games, their is no puzzles in movies. No idea what Ricochet is. Counter Strike and Team Fortress are online games for a reason. Their in no story at all with them so their can not be a movie.
Left for dead has no story either besides these people want to escape to safty. But then again, that's a zombie movie to begin with. Get a horde of zombies and you got yourself a zombie movie. Get a chick, a biker, a war vet, and a black office man, stick him with the zombies and you are left 4 dead.

]HOW DARE YOU.

All of those actors suck, and I would prefer a real organic creature to play Zoey. Not that weird synthetic shit that is Megan Fox.

I wan't to see Team Fortress 2. There would be no plot, just mindless violence and complete hilariocity.

Hey now in all seriousnes at his age Bill is defeinitley a racist and we need somone as seinor as Mel to say all the racist quotes to the Morgan Freeman-Louis

And if Ellis started getting all trippy tslking about a ring then maybe Keith could become his sidekick,his *****,his Gollum

And the only reason my super hot girlfriend Megan Fox(cookie if you get the reference) is in there is cos she agreed to sleep with me if I did and guys I really need to lose my virginity ok?

Don't put Megan Fox as a good actor. She's just a sexy body, not a good actor. We are looking for a quality film. Once she does a voice over, and her body isn't there, she isn't that special.

And get a real redneck to play Ellis. A short homosexual Lord of the Rings character can't play a redneck.

Zoey - The voice actor that played Zoey in the actual game
Bill - The voice actor that played Bill in the actual game
Francis - The voice actor that played Francis in the actual game
Louis - Eddie Murphy

Oh god I want a Team Fortress 2 animated movie.

Screw Episode 3, I want the movie!

Hey, you changed your avatar!

I can finally browse the forums without worrying about swallowing my tongue!

OT: I would pay good money to see a TF2 movie handled by Pixar.

Megan Fox-Zoey

NEVER taint Zoey with being anything resembling that braindead harlot.

Well one thing I know Bioware can pull off is humor. Put that in a good L4D flick and I'd say you got yourself a weiner

 

[Cliff_m85]

Half Life or Portal. Problem with half life is it would be weired if Dr.Freeman actualy talked and the first game alone probly would fill at least an hour and a half if you went by the games story.

The first film would be an hour and a half long for HL 1
The second film would be about two hours long for HL2: Ep.1+2 as well
The third film would be 98 hours long, but the first 97 hours would be a blank screen to build up anticipation. At the 23rd hour you'd see flashed on the screen "You'll see the movie when it's ready!". That'd be for Episode Three.

I think Valve could make a good comedy movie if they used all their games, with some backstory that requires the main characters to "travel" throughout each game for some reason.

For a noncomedy movie, Half Life has some great potential.

 

[TheDoctor455]

A Half-Life movie about the "seven hour war" and the events that led up to it would be pretty good. And I have to disagree with Bioware writing the script, because while I do love Bioware's work, their writing is just too different from Valve's for it to remain consistent. And no, I don't prefer one developer's writing over the other, I think they are both equally good, its just they both have different approaches and writing styles.

 

[slowpoke999]

Well TF2 and CS are already out because they have basically no plot. I don't think watching someone go through portals would be entertaining so Portal's out.Left 4 Dead,no, way too many cliches, wouldn't work as a survival or action movie on it's own because it's half and half.I don't know what Richochet is and i like how you didn't even bother mentioning Day of Defeat. The only one that would work is Half-Life,if Gordan Freeman never talks, it's basically him just trying to survive.

Half Life is probably the only game apart from Portal that has enough plot to make a movie and like I said, Portals aren't blood pounding excitement,unless they make the first ever puzzle movie.

 

[fletch_talon]

Gotta love the fact that due to the media portrayal of Megan Fox as a sex symbol people instantly find the need to claim she is a harlot/whore with a lack of intelligence.

Honest to god, I've seen very little evidence of intelligence OR lack thereof. As for her acting ability, I've seen her in the second Transformers movie and its pretty stupid to expect stellar acting from that.

Is there actual reasoning behind all the bitching or are all these judgmental forum members secretly bitchy women with the hots for Shia Lebouf.

And for the record, Team Fortress 2 would need a lot of work in the story dept. to work as a movie, but the visuals would be tonnes of fun to watch.
