Gabe Newell, Portal, Half-Life, Valve Software

J.J. Abrams and Gabe Newell spoke together yesterday at the 2013 DICE Summit and spoke of their desire to make a video game together and perhaps a film based on Portal or Half-Life.

Here are the key quotes:

Abrams: "There's an idea we have for a game that we'd like to work with Valve on."

Newell: "We're super excited about that and we also want to talk about making movies, either a Portal movie or a Half-Life movie."

Newell: "What we are actually doing here, we are recapitulating a series of conversations going on. We reached the point that we decided to do more than talk."

After the on-stage discussion Abrams was quizzed by journalists about the likelihood of the projects seeing fruition. He responded: "It's as real as anything in Hollywood ever gets... we are really talking to Valve, we are going to be bringing on a writer, we have a lot of very interesting ideas."

A Portal or Half-Life film? An Abrams-led Valve game? Wow.

    This would be seriously cool! I'd definitely go and see both a Portal and Half-Life film. Who would play Gordon Freeman?
