Hello Opposing Force fans.
I am a Hollywood screenwriter/producer currently adapting the video game Opposing Force into a big budget feature film. I am preparing to pitch the script to Gearbox within the next 3 to 12 months and then to major studios thereafter. I am fully aware of the fan bases instability with the idea of a Opposing Force film. Every video game based film to this day has either been crap or has completely turned its back on the fans that made the property/brand popular in the first place. However, i am willing to take a break from my busy schedule to give this a try and see if me and my partners can make a fantastic Opposing Force film.
Gearbox Software has refused dozens upon dozens of offers from people like me from Hollywood. However, i believe i and my partners have the understanding and patience to make Opposing Force: The Movie as compelling, innovative and interesting as the game was when it was first released.
While i have down plenty of work, research and writing already on this subject, i figured the next logical step would be to connect with as many fans as possible and see what they love about Opposing Force and what they think should translate to a feature film.
Now, please, leave the "Opposing Force shouldn't be a movie" or "Adrian shouldn't talk" discussion out of this. I have been through these steps already and trust me, i have enough projects and work to do, that if there is any hint that this film cannot be done right, it won't happen. I am sure Gearbox will just tell me know anyways if they don't like it. So Gearbox will be the judge of whether it should be done or not. I am not here to piss off a fan base numbering in the millions. The Opposing Force fans are going to be the ones to spread the word. If this film is as good as i plan for it to be, the fans will spread the word.
Just so everyone knows, this is an adaption of the first Opposing Force game. The central character is indeed Adrian Shephard. Barney Calhoun does have a speaking role in the script, however it only lasts for about 4 to 6 pages.
So, answer me these questions. What do you like about the story of Half-Life? What was it about the experience that brought you in and kept you there?
Also, what are your ideas for a Opposing Force film?
Give me any concerns you may have here... the more feedback, the better.
All i ask it that you keep your posts mature and orderly. This is a serious project so i need serious ideas and concerns.
Thanks,
Your friendly Hollywood Producer
