Newell/Abrams DICE 2013 Keynote. Valve Movies.

JJ Abrams and Gabe Newell gave the DICE 2013 keynote address today.  They talk about a lot of things but what people care most about is that they announced, together, there are Half-Life and Portal movies in development.

Of all the movies based on games, these ones have the best chance at being great.  Mostly because Valve is a huge entity and could probably fund the movies themselves depending on the scale of them.  With Abrams behind them I have a bit more faith.  I don't think he's amazing but I also don't think he is a slave for the Hollywood dollar.

Polygon has two articles, here and here that give more insight into the whole affair.
