JJ Abrams: Portal movie announcement coming soon

J.J. Abrams has confirmed the Portal and Half Life movies are still in development, and we can expect a Portal announcement "fairly soon".
Speaking to IGN on the Westworld red carpet (Abrams produces the HBO show), the filmmaker said both films were "still very much in development".
"We have a meeting coming up next week with Valve, we’re very active, I’m hoping that there will be a Portal announcement fairly soon", said Abrams.
When we asked if the movies would follow on from the story-lines that already exist in the games, Abrams kept his cards close to his chest.
"We are having some really interesting discussions with writers, many of whom...once you said you’re doing a movie or show about a specific thing that is a known quantity you start to find people who are rabid about these things. As someone who loves playing Half Life and Portal, what’s the movie of this, it’s incredible when you talk to someone who just ‘gets’ it, it’s like, oh my god, it’s really the seed for this incredible tree you’re growing."
Movies based on the Valve games were announced during DICE 2013, but there hasn't been information on the projects since.
The fact that valve is actually involved gives me faith it won't be just another shite video game movie.
Just a little.

How will Gordon Freeman be able to see with all that lense flair reflecting off his glasses?

Say what you want about him, I am not the biggest fan of his in a lot of areas. But he doesn't do much "shite".

I don't know about the Half-Life movie but news of a Portal film doesn't surprise me. Dan Trachtenberg directed 10 Cloverfield Lane which Abrams produced. Trachtenberg garnered a lot of attention from directors / producers like Abrams for directing the Portal short film, Portal: No Escape.
I don't know if Trachtenberg would be interested in directing a full feature Portal movie based on interviews I've heard with him, but it would make sense.

Many said the same about Blizzard and Warcraft.

They should name the Half-Life move "Half-Life 3" just to see the uproar.
