J.J. Abrams and Valve to work on Half-Life, Portal movies

Abram's production studio Bad Robot has signed on to work on both movies and games.

"There's an idea we have for a game that we'd like to work with Valve on," said Abrams.

The announcement came after a joint keynote by Abrams and Newell called "Storytelling Across Platforms: Who Benefits Most, the Audience or the Player?"

"Movies let you experience moments that you might not think are the point, but really are everything," Abrams said during the keynote.
