It's been a while since Half Life 3 was announced to the public. It turns out that it may never really happen since we have not received any new information about the game's developments.

However, according to Ecumenical News, a movie adaptation of the video game franchise will happen. Hollywood producer and director, JJ Abrams already confirmed to the media that there are now writers who are working on the story of the adaptation.

According to IGN, Abrams spoke about the developments of the movie adaptation of the Valve videogame.

"...we've got writers, and we're working on both those stories. But nothing that would be an exciting update," the director/producer said.

The movie was first hinted during the DICE in 2013. Abrams and Gabe Newell had shown great desires in teaming up to make film adaptations on a couple of video games.

As of now, there are no specific news about the plot of the movie. It is still under a process of pre-production and it's not clear what it will be about.

Half-Life is a first-person science fiction video game developed by Valve L.L.C. It was released under Sierra Studios for Microsoft Windows in 1998. It was from the same makers of the Counter-Strike series.

In the game, players take the role of Dr. Gordon Freeman. Gordon must push his way out of a secret research facility after a teleportation experiment goes disastrously wrong, fighting enemies and solving puzzles.

It's not clear why Half Life can't come up with another installment despite have good reviews from aggregator sites.

GameSpot had scored the game a 9.4/10 while IGN scored it 9.5/10.
