Gabe Newell and J.J. Abrams want to collaborate on films, games

Valve and J.J. Abra💜ms' studio Bad Robot want to make beautiful interactive narratives together. Gabe Newell and Abrams revealed in their D.I.C.E. summit opening keynote that the two studios have been in talks to adapt Half-Life and Portal for the silver screen, and to collaborate on a video game, reports.

"We're going to find out if there's a way🌺 we can work with you on a Portal and Half-Life movie," Newell said. We can't imagine he'd j🙈ust toss that out there without significant discussion beforehand.

that shipped as an extra with Portal 2?

When the two weren't busy dropping hints about potential collaborations, they discu🅰ssed the differing strengths of films and games as storytelling mediums.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I receiv💯ed there was from CM Life, it🍌s student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
