J.J. Abrams says Portal and Half-Life movies still in development

March 17, 2016 by Gary Collinson

During an interview with IGN to promote 10 Cloverfield Lane, J.J. Abrams was asked about the status of the big screen adaptations of the video games Half-Life and Portal, with the Star Wars: The Force Awakens director revealing that both are still in the works.

“[I don’t have an update], but they’re in development,” said Abrams. “We’ve got writers, and we’re working on both those stories. But nothing that would be an exciting update.”

Abrams’ Bad Robot first announced a partnership with developers Valve back at DICE in 2013, although we’ve heard nothing about either project since.
