Comments on: Poll Question 084 – Which Half-Life game would you prefer to see as a movie? http://www.planetphillip.com/posts/poll-question-084/ Finishing Half-Life is just the beginning! Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:00:37 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: jjawinte http://www.planetphillip.com/posts/poll-question-084/comment-page-1/#comment-218710 jjawinte Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:45:54 +0000 http://www.planetphillip.com/posts/poll-question-084-which-half-life-game-would-you-prefer-to-see-as-a-movie/#comment-218710 I'll pass on HL1, because I think that story format has made it into too many scripts already ( remember the success of the "DOOM " movie ? ie. ) Opposing force falls into the same category simply because of the military presence factor. Blue Shift could have potential with a good director and Jason Stathem as lead and with a dash of comedy. Half Life 2 has a strong story line, multiple expansive areas ( to take artistic liberties with ), ongoing character development and definition ( including the combine ), The classic "horror element of the Ravenholm segment and the zombies ( head-humper infestation ), the desolate post Armageddon atmosphere that's so popular and most importantly, the wide open ending tailor made for a sequel. HL2-Episode 1 I've never played it a second time. Meh... HL2-Episode 2 has some serious potential ( as an action film ). Still a good story for script development - a mission to save the world through enemy infested terrains - boat loads of combat and a much larger emphasis on battling enemy heavyweights ( Striders, Hunters, Choppers and so on ). This would do very well as a blockbuster sequel to HL2 because with exception to the introduction of the Hunters, the other would naturally have some upgrades added by then. Actors and Actresses ? Does Gorden really have to have dialog, cause - well you know. Lead Actress - Halle Berry or Jessica Alba ( for their complexions and hotness ) Lead Actor - Clive Owen or Keanu Reeves ( for their detached stalwart expressions and unspoken inner strengths ) The role of Dr.Breen could be played by Andy Roony :) There's my take on this whole tpoic. I’ll pass on HL1, because I think that story format has made it into too many scripts already ( remember the success of the “DOOM ” movie ? ie. )

They could include Shephard & Barney easily like in other movies where you see different sites. My idea for a sequel or spin off from hl1 movie would be following: You see a Flashback what happend in hl1 with a voice talking about it like in terminator 2 at the beginning. And then you see the 7 hour war. I miss the answer : All of them. :D

For it go out of gordon freeman a little bit and see more thru the point o view of a soldier. that is my kind of favorite movie, with soldier. Hoyy think gordon freeman has appeared too much and any attempt to recreate a hero like gordon "cardboard box personality" freeman would fail bad. Hoyy I would love to see opposing force.

My real guess of a Movie goes to the time between HL1 and HL2, called "7 hours of war", where the Story goes from the appearing of the Zen creatures, along the invasion of the Combine, to the surrender to the Combine, with some Soldiers trying to stop them all. Well, we could discuss the end, but i guess we all know that ending ;) and please, don't do something like Tom Cruise with his Version of "War of the Worlds" I’d go for Opposing Force, it comes closest to the real movie i assume to be made of the entire Half-Life series.
