If they make a movie of this, of course.

Seems a little to old to play Freeman, who is 27 years old in the first game. In the second game he was in stasis for somewhere around 15 - 20 years and is still 27 when he arrives in City 17, baffling some of his colleagues. But hey, everyone has their pick for who should play Gordon. I would've picked Damian Lewis (Major Winters from Band of Brothers) but he's getting a bit old for the part. I recommend a new, unknown actor who looks the part is the same age as Gordon if not close to it.

Suck my unit!

Gary Oldman has been cast in a movie called "The Book of Eli". LOLOLOL?

Gary Oldman is 50 now, and no HL movie is even in pre-production. By the time they get round to filming a movie on Half-Life he'd be too old to play Gordon's dad! I always liked Damian Lewis for the role, but as the guy said even he's starting to get a bit old for it. Maybe a current child actor will be old enough by the time a film comes along

i always liked big movies with little known BUT GREAT actors cuz it really helps create the feeling of them being the actual charector rather than bradd pitt running around in a hazard suit

Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos.
