While the short is pretty cool (some of them portals, I wouldn't have used them like she did) there seems to be a lot of talk about a big movie company picking this up.
I personally don't think a major movie company making a portal movie would be good. GLaDOS would end up *way* too different, and there would need to be other human characters introduced just so as to keep the audiences attention. I don't know guys... this movie short looks great and all... it scares me what Hollywood might do with a full length feature film.
Big businesses sometimes Flesh out the story -

I completely agree with that. Companies as small a this development team tend to be more "accurate" in their interpretations of a story never told on the big screen. Mainly because 90 percent of the people working on the project have actually played it. I would love to see a full featured film of this story, but I have doubts that a major company would stay true to the story. Unless Valve has major say in the development.
It hard to do good stuff in Hollywood. Sometimes they manage it though. If they want to try, then why not? How would a bad movie hurt you? Watching is voluntary, you know.
"There were 3 sisters, and, a man might ride for days and never set eyes upon such maidens. Marie, tall and grave, and Blanche, petite and gay, and the dark Agnes, eyes that went through you like a waxed arrow. I stayed there as long as four days, and was betrothed to them all; for it seemed shame to set one above her sisters, and might make ill blood in the family. Yet, for all my care, things were not merry in the house, and I thought it well to come away."
