I'll say it again...

... with any luck, it'll be every bit as good as the comic book.

Just because it's on the imdb doesn't make it true

Anyone can submit info to the The Internet Movie Database, and it's rather notorious for posting incorrect information about movies which are still far from release.

I'm not saying that the casting news at the imdb definitely isn't true, I'm just saying to take it with a grain of salt.

Huh?

Chicks got hung on a meathook back in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and that guy was actually after a PG-13 rating.

That guy (Tobe Hooper) must have been a very forward thinking individual, because the PG-13 rating wouldn't exist for another 10 years.

Oh really. And can you name a good Vim[sic] Diesel movie except for Pitch Black?

Iron Giant.

Perhaps because it has nothing to do with the game?

On the subject of a movie of the game, Gabe Newell has nixed the idea for the forseeable future.

Um, this movie has nothing to do with the game...it's a drama.

Also, Valve has already stated that the "hollywood" guys have tried to get them to make a movie based on Half-Life...but when they started talking about "Gordon's love interest" they high-tailed it back home!
