Half-Life Game Franchise to the Big Screen? Source: Variety Thursday, July 10, 2003
One of the most storied franchises in the videogame business, Half-Life, is being shopped in Hollywood as a potential feature film. The game debuted in 1998 and quickly became one of the preeminent first-person shooters, winning more than 50 game of the year awards and at least one magazine's designation as best PC game ever.
After five years, the game's developer Valve is finally willing to make a Half-Life movie as a way to broaden the franchise's audience. "We're trying to build the context of the game, build something that extends the elements of the game," marketing director Doug Lombardi said. "We're very particular about making sure it gets done the right way."
