Left 4 Dead and Half Life! http://www.shacknews.com/article/773...half-life-left Valve has rebuffed Hollywood a few times for not understanding the passion behind the games and being able to translate that passion in the ideas presented, Valve chief Gabe Newell said in talking to on The Nerdist podcast (via Polygon). "There really were people who came to us with proposals of: ‘Okay, it's Half-Life 1, and there are horses, and it's a cavalry charge, and it's high-tech carbon armor on the horses,'" Newell added. "And we were like, ‘What the f*** are you talking about? Have you even played this?'"

Maybe they're holding out for Uwe... Because if something's gonna fail, it might as well be EPIC FAIL.

Rovio, who started making the smartphone app in December 2009, say that the movie will be a 3D animation. John Cohen, who has previously worked on Iron Man, Despicable Me and Ice Age, will produce the Angry Birds film.

If you're going to do a pure shit version of a video-game-to-movie, might as well let the master of pure shit do it. Hold on, didn't Hitchcock do a film about 'angry birds' Rich Touche'!
