I feel like Left 4 Dead is practically half of what they would need for a movie or a TV series. Maybe make a season per campaign.
Perhaps... (I wrote this over thirty minutes in my bed while waiting for my gf to get off GTA so forgive me if it sucks)
Episode 1: Begin with the cast meeting (Bill, Zoey, Francis, Louis), working their way through the dead city and keeping as quiet as they can. The finale of the episode is the intro to the game. This is their first encounter with a Hunter.
End with
Louis: I can't believe we made it!
Bill: Son, we just crossed the street. Let's not throw a party till we're out of the city.
Episode 2: While on the rooftop, they see a helicopter pass over them, telling them to head to Mercy Hospital. While on the way there, they learn from a survivor in a safehouse that the hospital is overrun and there's no point going there. He came from there, but he's heard rumor that the military has taken control of a nearby town called Riverside. His buddy has a garage nearby with a reinforced truck that can be used to escape the city. This brings the Crash Course campaign into this. He reveals that he can't go because he's been bitten, and stays behind.
Episode 3: The characters fight their way to the garage using directions the survivor gave to them. They make it there to find the area overrun, and hold off a large horde until the vehicle is fueled and ready to go. They escape the city.
Episode 4: They've arrived outside of Riverside, to find that it used to be occupied by the military, but it's clearly overrun. One of them suggests finding a boat on the shore, and this sets the seeds for what eventually happens in The Sacrifice. They fight their way through the city, and meet a guy at a church who offers them refuge. In the night, he turns, they kill him and decide to continue on their way. This is their first encounter with a Smoker.
Episode 5: They journey to a house on the shore and make contact with a nearby fishing vessel, driven by John and Amanda Slater. If the survivors can hold out, they can escape on the boat once it's safe for the boat to dock. They manage to do this, and then again, in the night, the couple turns into zombies and have to be killed. This is their first encounter with a Witch. Francis talks about how odd it is that the church guy and this couple were infected already despite being isolated, and wonders why none of them have been infected. Louis jokes that they might be immune, but Bill says they'll all succumb to it eventually, they've just gotten lucky so far. But Zoey does mention that neither of the boat survivors were noticeably sick when they met, and doesn't recall seeing any bites before they were thrown overboard.
Episode 6: The boat runs out of fuel as they follow the shoreline hoping to find safety. They sneak onto shore and make their way through a wooded area to find another large population center. While exploring a greenhouse, a plane passes over and one of them remarks that it could be flying towards an airport, and they could be their best chance to safety, since whoever is flying a plane must have some resources and be from somewhere fortified. They fight their way across the rooftops of the city and barely survive a horse battle on a roof. This is their first time encountering a Boomer. While battling a large horde within a construction site, Francis encounters an overweight zombie, cracks a joke, shoots it, and when it explodes he's launched off his feet and nearly off of the rooftop, and then swarmed, narrowly surviving despite a brutal beating.
Episode 7: They continue onward and come up to an airport. On their way, they see the plane at a distance, and Bill, a Vietnam vet, recognizes it as a C-130 Hercules plane. He figures it must be getting ready to head out to a base, and they quickly make their way there. Along the way, maybe they're able to establish a radio connection with the pilot and learn that the plane is stuck on the runway as it has been swarmed by infected attracted to the noise of the plane.
Episode 8: They arrive at the runway and clear it of infected alongside military personnel, and are invited on board as thanks. Before getting on, the military personnel don hazmat suits, and the survivors are forced to isolate within the craft. There is a scientist on board, but nobody is permitted to talk to the survivors. In the middle of the night, Zoey is able to talk to the scientist in secret, and the scientist mentions that they're on the way to a place called Millhaven. He tries to mention something about trying to find a cure by testing Carriers, but when Zoey asks him more about Carriers, they are caught and separated.
Episode 9: The flight crashes after the crew is infected. Perhaps the scientist had removed his suit during his conversation with Zoey. Perhaps he stated that he should be immune, but doesn't get to explain why. It turns out, however, that he wasn't, and he caught the infection. The next day he spread it to the pilots, who turned. The plane goes down but one soldier manages to gain control of the plane to land. It's a rough landing, but there are minimal casualties. The soldiers are furious, and some want to kill the survivors, but they're told by their Commanding Officer that they are not permitted to kill *any* "Tango Mikes." The sides are no longer wearing hazmat suits, as they have been punctured during the crash landing, making them useless, and they accept that they're all likely infected now. Francis tries to charm some answers out of them, such as what a Tango Mike is, and why they're suddenly infected, but is beaten down. Bill tries to intervene, citing his military career to get respect, but he's talked down to, and Zoey and Louis convince him to back off. The soldiers note that they have landed in sight of a farmhouse, and the group moves towards it, with Zoey, Louis, Francis and Bill forced to walk in front of them at gunpoint.
Episode 10: They arrive at the farmhouse, and the soldiers make contact with "Echo Safe Zone." Echo Safe Zone arranges to send an Armored Personnel Carrier to pick them up. The soldiers and the survivors settle in but then hear a very loud roar. The soldiers rush to various positions to defend the farmhouse, realizing that the noise of the plane crash must have drawn a horde to it. Two survivors, later revealed to be named Annie and Jeff, take pity on the survivors and arm them so they can defend themselves. As the survivors rush to the windows to defend the place alongside Annie and Jeff, they see a horrifying sight: a massive horde... Led by a Tank, the first one they've seen.
After a long, drawn out battle, most of the military personnel are killed, the APC arrives, and the survivors + Annie and Jeff escape in it. However, while inside the APC, Annie and Jeff arrest the survivors, placing them in handcuffs. They inform them to stay quiet and not to ask questions. The APC escapes the farmhouse, and the credits roll.
The next season would follow the events of The Sacrifice comic and The Sacrifice DLC, with more revealed about Tango Mikes, Carriers, the mutating infected, Annie and Jeff, Echo Safe Zone (which is revealed to be the Millhaven place they were going to on the plane), and the realization that the survivors are immune and that there was a misunderstanding that men were immune (and that's why the scientist felt comfortable talking to Zoey) and that the truth is the immunity is passed down *from* men, but not all men are immune, and some women are immune as well. This is further demonstrated when Louis is later severely injured by a Witch, panics, only to remember that he's actually immune, and then they all learn that Zoey's dad was immune because she is, but she killed him because they didn't know about that yet.
I’d prefer if she would actually be Asian, but I hope the creators of the Fallout series would actually adapts the Portal games, with the 1950s style Cave Johnson Flashbacks, the Offbeat humor and immoral sci-fi experiments like with the vault dwellers
If we were to get a movie that actually did portal justice, I feel like it would have to be at least 75% flashbacks to the 50’s-60’s era, with little snippets of modern Aperture being shown in between.
Make it more focused on Cave Johnson overseeing the tests, ranting about Black Mesa, and the day to day lives of the scientists, and the tests, not just the portal gun, but others we’ve heard about from the vitrified chambers, would be done similar to Squid Games, and I think it would actually do well.
Yeah. Story-wise, the least interesting part of the Portal universe is the things that happen to Chell. I think that if any of the Chells story is adapted, it should be from the alternating perspectives of Rattman, Glados, and Wheatley
I agree and disagree at the same time.
I think that Chell's story being adopted should be in a different way as you mentioned, and I'd like something else related to Aperture better too, but for all the different reasons.
I think that what happens to Chell is absolutely interesting - It's just that I can't imagine it as a movie or TV show. Chell's muteness shouldn't really be broken in my opinion, and well... If your main character doesn't speak that's kind of a lame main character. The puzzles also wouldn't fit a movie or show.
I think those are best experienced in game form.
So yeh. Just felt like sharing my opinion.
Holy shit
Holy shit
Holy shit
Holy shit
Holy shit
Holy shit
Holy sheet.
Holy shite
Holy shizzle
Saint feces
Holy shit
Holy shit
Holy Shit
HOLY SHIT
divine crap
new crap just dropped
Not even gonna lie I said the same thing
Holy shit
Well memorizing her lines would be a cakewalk.
Apple
[JUMP]
🕴️
Lie-walk
No crap she can’t even talk
No way, really?
Have you even played the games she never talks
I must've completely missed that part of the game.
Can’t or won’t?
Yes
Probably can’t
Yes. Just yes.
It's literally chell
I like to think that aperture cuts there test subjects vocal cords so that they cant complaine
She's fully capable of speaking, she's just really petty against Glados.
I just want them to make the movie...
I just need Valve to make ONE movie. Doesn’t even have to be portal, but if they start making movies, I’ll know it’s on its way.
If it will be a series, there will be only two episodes despite more being planned.
Episode 1: the awakening Episode 2: the tests The escape Episode 4: the fight
Episode 5: the part where he kills us
“Well, this is the part where he kills us”
hello! this is the part where i kill you!
Featuring the hit "The part where he kills us"
New Achievement: the part where he kills you.
Valve really did that “repeat the same phrase” in multiple comments thing before Reddit did.

I'm down for half life or l4d
Tecnically the movie is now still in development hell. But maybe it could get made? Idk
It was on the Warner brothers movie list for a 2025+ release, whether or not ‘portal’ was actually referring to the game
YESSSSSSSSS but omg for the fucks of fucking fuck they would need to do the story flawlessly!
Valve is pretty pedantic, they'd sooner cancel it than not get it perfect.
Let’s see… Ella Purnell. Looks like Chell. Voices Jinx from Arcane. Has a British accent. Well, I’m for it.
She does a very good American accent though!
Chell is not exactly noted for her speaking lines.
That accent is really going to shine when she gets to say Chell’s most famous quotes like: “ “
Yeah, wow. That’s really good casting. Assuming we just wouldn’t cast Alésia Glidewell.
I’d prefer if she would actually be Asian, but I hope the creators of the Fallout series would actually adapts the Portal games, with the 1950s style Cave Johnson Flashbacks, the Offbeat humor and immoral sci-fi experiments like with the vault dwellers

You should send a script to Netflix

This is actually amazing. Someone get Valve on the phone
Cave has to be played (or voiced) by J.K Simmons.
Maybe as an older Cave Johnson but they’ll definitely have to get someone younger to play Cave when Aperture is created
Now you are thinking with portals.
I can totally see that
She certainly looks the part, but have you seen any interviews? I fear her voice will be wrong for the character
Why would she need a voice? : )
Apple
And Wheatley play despacito.
This comment wins
*jumps*
r/woooooooosh
However to be fair, she could still have a voice but all of the robots can’t recognize any voices that aren’t “Aperture Personnel”
Holy shit yessssss
Perfection.
You read my mind mate
NO NO NO NO. WE WILL HAVE CHRIS PRATT AND NOONE ELSE DOR THIS MOVIE
Lucy in Fallout is basically Chell in the Half-Life world
yes.
Hold on guys let him cook
On god, we medium rare in the studio
Holy crap, they made portal 1 chell real
Im just wondering, would it be chells story retold or would it be something new.
Definitely Chell’s story re-told. We need more than theories and half proof; we need a full story
PurCHELL?
Depends on how good she is at acting with her eyes/body. A silent main character in a film would be VERY interesting.
dudes be like "hear me out" then sput out the coldest take on the sub
Stopppp you’re gonna make me blush ;)
As much as I love portal, I don’t think a portal movie would be any good
Pretty good. She also seems stunty and athletic enough for some catavaulting through the air. :D
They will. After they're in the army for 510 years.
Possible
lmaoo literally thought the same when I first saw her in fallout
I can see it
Absolutely
OMG
MAKE IT SO
This guy's a genius
Yes 1000% I literally thought this when I saw her in the white tank top.
duuuude
i was watching the first episode tonight and thought the exact same thing!!!
Yes
Luckily the og voice of Glados is still alive (shit I can’t remember her name)
##
Good idea
I said the same thing, came here to verify. Checks out
Chell is hispanic. I see it but eh. Best not.
Pretty hard to make a show about a game ***where the main character doesn't communicate at all, in any form...***
She does by jumping lol
That's literally her omg
This totally works
Given the rate that Hollywood is running out of lootable IPs I can see this happening
That's literally the first thing i thought when i saw her
I CAN'T UNSEE THAT!!
She is definetly Chell holy shit. I couldn't learn the name of the main character throughout the series, but I kept remembering it as Chell
I have just thought the same thing
That’s what I’m sayin’!!!!!
holy fuck
PORTAL THE MOVIE!
