If you’ve ever wanted to see a live-action Half-Life 2 movie, these mock posters are only going to make you want to see one a lot more.
They’re the work of British graphic designer Sean Keenan, and are, for the most part, wonderfully tasteful and subdued.
He’s based them on the posters for Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight Batman movie, if you think the colour palettes and design are familiar.

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 7:38 PM…why is Gordon out of his HEV suit?

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 7:42 PMYes I am also wondering this, maybe it means he’s bad ass even without a suit

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 8:52 PMWell, he’s not wearing the suit at the start of Half Life 2, so arguably the posters are just set at that point in the games fiction.

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 7:45 PMWelcome. Welcome, to City 17. You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers. I thought so much of City 17, that I elected to establish my administration, here, in the citadel, so thoughtfully provided by our benefactors. I am proud to call City 17 my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through to parts unknown, welcome, to City 17. It’s safer here.

Took me a whole hour to find the place to go. that was my early 2010 self, so primitive and backwards.
For this movie to work it would have to be first person, and Gordon must not speak. Half life is a game about pacing, and movies are too short to allow for half lifes pacing to function properly.

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 9:21 PMEh, they all look generic. I don’t want another crap game2movie adaptation.
Shut up Luke.

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 10:39 PMChecking out his website leads me to believe the guy is obsessed with Freemans.

These are all generic, and have nothing to do with half life other than the text.
