Ahh. Then I would wager a big negative on that.

Yes, it's been confirmed that this movie is a completely original concept by JJ, meaning a Half-Life based idea is a NEGATORY.

I think this movie is about a giant monster attacking New York City filmed from the perspective of people with video cameras.

Look people. We know the basics of what cloverfield is about. It's a monster movie in new york. That much we know.

If you have a weird idea, filter it through occams razor? Ie; Is it plausible or is it just a stupid idea. Come OOON people. Do some freaking thinking.

I've slit a few people's throats here with Occam's Razor. Nobody seems to understand the concept, so give it up.

And I can tell you, without a doubt, that it has nothing to do with Half-Life. I know people at Valve Software personally, and they have nothing to do with this.

If this was a Half-Life film then they would not keep it a secret, the primary reason to do a game tie-in film would be to increase the sales of both the movie and product by crossing over the intended audiences.

So, was Valve promoting the film?: No
Is there a Valve logo among the production logos at the beginning of the film?: No
Is Valve listed in the credits?: No
Has Valve or Bad Robot made any attempt to link the game and film in the public's mind?: No

Therefore it is NOT intended as a Half-Life film.

To a Half-Life fan it can be considered a 'close as we're likely to get' movie, much as an In Nomine fan can pick apart the characters in Dogma and match them to bands/choirs from that game, or a Shadowrun fan might do the same to Sneakers.

It's not a Half-Life film, but feel free to pretend it is if it makes you happy.

If this were Half-Life there would be portal storms out the wazoo all over the Earth.

Doesn't Half-Life happen a bit farther in the future? I didn't see anything but current day stuff in this film.
