J.J. Abrams conferma il progetto di Portal

J.J. Abrams conferma lo sviluppo del progetto di Portal, l’adattamento cinematografico del celebre videogioco. L’annuncio ufficiale è imminente.

La Bad Robot di J.J. Abrams sta proseguendo con il progetto di portare sul grande schermo il mondo di Portal, il videogioco nato nel 2007 dalla Valve Corporation. Ecco le parole dell’entusiasta regista circa le novità del film:

They are very much still in development. We have a meeting coming up next week with Valve, we’re very active, I’m hoping that there will be a Portal announcement fairly soon. We are having some really interesting discussions with writers, many of whom are, like, crazy-obsessed. Once you say you’re doing a movie or show about a specific thing that is a known quantity, it’s an amazing thing how you start to find people who are rabid about these things. As someone who loves playing Half-Life and Portal, what’s the movie of this, it’s incredible when you talk to someone who just ‘gets’ it, it’s like, oh my god, it’s really the seed for this incredible tree you’re growing. I look forward to be able to talk about it, and announce who’s working on it.
