Yeah I watched this the other day - well worth a look. If any computer game franchise could actually be made into a decent film / films I reckon HL could do it

Re: escape from city 17
I've always wondered why no-ones made a film about Freeman and the half life story. IMO its got everything and needs to be done.
That clips pretty cool and i hope the Purchase brothers keep at it, bring on the film!!

Re: escape from city 17
If you made a film starring freeman the script writers would have it easy! He no speaky and all that!
I like the idea of this. Fomr a bunch of survivors point of view. Maybe seeing freeman as he passes through a checkpoint or something.

Re: escape from city 17
i wouldnt mind seein something from g-mans POV as he manipulates freeman , that and seein xen on the big screen would be interesting
Re: escape from city 17
I'm sure they would find some way of mucking it up though, as in Doom the movie.

Re: escape from city 17
Valve have expressly said a few times they were not interested using the half life universe in a movie format, they say it's specifically about the game experience and it will stay that way.
