Half-Life movie mock-up posters are Batman-y photo

Forget Valve, that gang of meanies and tricksters. The fans can do a better job of teasing us with the prospect of things that will never happen without coming across as trolls. Things like, say, a fictional Half-Life movie.

These eight posters by artist Sean Keenan were made back in 2010, but they've only now started to make the rounds. He claims to have been inspired by The Dark Knight, and I can totally see shades of that art style here. Check them out and wonder what a Half-Life movie would look like.

Oh, wait a minute...

It looks like two of the posters use the famous shot of Walter White from Breaking Bad. He would be a very good older Gordon.

No HEV suit? I guess a theatrical release probably shouldn't include it, but the purists will balk. No less the city in the background of one of the shots I'm not sure makes sense in the scheme of the game, but whatever, several of them are pretty nice.

Half-Life is a great series, but I just don't get the infatuation with Gordon Freeman - I don't see how he could translate to film, unless the writer was absurdly good, and they chose an amazing actor that could also convey subtext dialogue through emotions/face (Bryan Cranston aka Walter White).

They look amazing, but I never want to see a Half-Life movie.

I've always thought that a Half-Life movie should like Cloverfield and be about the Black Mesa Incident from the persective of some random scientist. Gordon GMan would only appear in the background for a few seconds at best.

It should follow Blue Shift, following Barney around Black Mesa. He briefly see's Gordon and his exploits.

Sewer one is the best. If I saw that one as a movie poster at the movies, I would instantly be drawn to it and curious about it.

The title could be better though. Bolding just the first letter makes it look tacky, and why didn't they use the lambda character for the A like in the normal title?

Also if there were ever a Half-Life movie I would think it would have to be from a side character that isn't gordon, but yet still have the plot heavily involve gordon.

I just think there shouldn't be a Half-Life movie. It works really well as a game but I don't think it would as a movie.
