Not understanding what made the game a good game, or what made the property an interesting thing for people to be a fan of."Īs IGN points out, 10 Cloverfield Lane is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who rose to fame partly thanks to his 2011 short fan movie Portal: No Escape. In 2010, the CEO complained about the pitches he had received from production companies looking to cash-in on the Half-Life name. Developed by the Valve Corporation, it was the very first game to use the developers Source engine. Six years did fans of the critically acclaimed Half Life have to wait for its successor, Half Life 2.
Newell had talked about a Half-Life movie long before the 2013 DICE Summit announcement. Half Life 2 is a first-person shooter by Valve Corporation. But nothing that would be an exciting update," Abrams said, confirming their existence. "Not yet, but they're in development, and we've got writers, and we're working on both those stories. Newell added, 'Were super excited about that and we also want to. 'Theres an idea we have for a game that wed like to work with Valve on,' said Abrams. In an interview with IGN about 10 Cloverfield Lane, which Abrams produced, he was asked if he could give a status update for the movies. J.J Abrams (Bad Robot) and Gabe Newell, the president and co-founder of video game company Valve have hinted about making movie adaptations of Portal or Half-Life, or both. Since this announcement, there hasn't been much news about the project, but Abrams has just stated that movies set in both game worlds are still in the works. Way back in 2013, it was reported that Valve CEO Gabe Newell and Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J Abrams had been in discussions about making a movie based on either Portal or Half-Life.
