if there was a Half-life movie
I vote for the following: Freeman - George Clooney or Ben Affleck (depening on desired age) GMan - Peter O'Toole or Christopher Walken Alyx - Lucy Liu or Uma Thurman Any movie must also include the Busey Brothers in armed forces capacity, Also Michael Ironside (little Starship Troopers nod there).

Although Sigourney Weaver could play Alyx opposite Clooney.
Scientists could included Donald Sutherland and Sean Connery in cameos.
The following characters should be included as alien fodder:
Kevin Costner
Richard Gere
Steven Segal
Any advances on this list?

Although I searched for Doom, Halo and Deus Ex(production cancelled *sniff*) and they all came up as films in production.
So maybe HL will follow suit, who knows?
Perhaps I'm in the wrong job . I agree that Walken would probably make a better G-Man, but Buscemi just has that weird aura about him.
As for the other productions, I hear that the Doom movie is going to be nothing like the game (more like Resident Evil, pah!). Loads of people in uproar 'bout that. Hop over to http://www.dmop.co.nr to sign a petition against the movie.
As for a HL film, I honestly think it would spoil the franchise. The whole point to gaming is that you can put yourself into the shoes of the hero. In essence, the closest most of us will ever get to actually being in a movie. Maybe that's why most game to movie licenses fail... we just don't like other people playing the hero role; ie. I'm Gordon Freeman and always will be . Hope you get what I mean anyway, lol.

Not Janet Reno, JEAN Reno - a French actor, pronounced John Ruh-no. Most recognisable in English speaking countries for being in Mission Impossible, but has also been in loads of French films, including Leon, amongst others.
Janet Reno indeed! LOL

Actually, I think John Cusack looks more like Barney:
The only problem is that if you used John Cusack, you'd have to give his sister a role in the same film...and I don't think she'd fit the part of Alyx:
Hmmm...

Agreed, he would make a great Barney. Just need to fatten him up slightly me thinks.

You're all crazy! Jennifer Lopez would play the best Alyx!
George Clooney... Ben Affleck... Gordon Freeman, in the same sentence? Wow, that's bizarre. You'd cast two of the most horrible actors as Half-Life's perpetual hero? Pfft.
If I were the director of the 'Half-Life' film I wouldn't quite know who I'd cast as Gordon Freeman. Hm, maybe Nic Cage? With a few adjustments, I think he could pull it off.

If there was a half life movie, i would wait another six years until half-life 3 comes out, and as to the whole plot thing, either press the developers for info, or make stuff up
For the weird talking thing on the G-man, Walken is the man
