So question: why are Valve visiting Weta - you know, the folks responsible for Lord of the Rings and District 9, among other things? Might this have anything to do with a half-life movie…?
no way
Just for some recent context on a potential half-life movie, here’s what valve were saying:

Yea, recent.
You fools. It was to commision a Sentry Gun. Weta Workshop is a really great high quality prop maker. Thus they were the logical choice for something awesome to spruce up their lobby.
indeed, just check out valves youtube, they have a video of it
Yees, I know it’s about the sentry gun they made. I wasn’t aware major film studios were generally in the habit of making props for people’s lobbies. I was hoping for some massively idle speculation like, you know “OMG they’re gonna make a half-life trilogy with Peter Jackson directing and it’s gonna be in new brain-o-vision, directly beamed into the base of the sensory cortex.”
But no. Well fine.

Don’t you know the new Half Life movie is about DoTA ?
Yes, let’s speculate about something just for the heck of it.
If we don’t speculate about something just for the heck of it, it means I’ll have to get on with my work. You wouldn’t want that, would you?
Be a productive man, you lazy bum.
In other news, “Valve Software” is now an ordinary person.
As much as I love Half-Life, I wouldn’t see it. Before LoTR, Peter Jackson made campy movies that weren’t very good. Including and after LoTR, Peter Jackson made movies that were too long and quite boring. And I enjoyed the LoTR storyline as a whole.
I don’t know, it probably means nothing. Valve got to visit Weta, and they asked them to build them a sentry gun. Probably as open and shut as that. There’s a possibility there was another purpose behind their visit but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
because it was guys from weta who gave them hints on how to make antlions look this awesome. later, a couple folk from weta went to work for valve.
Whoa, that’s a load of crap. Braindead is an outright classic in the horror genre, and Heavenly Creatures was a very acclaimed drama.
But he still shouldn’t do a Half-Life movie. He would have been perfect as a producer on the Halo movie though. Too bad that deal fell through.
I admit, I haven’t seen all of his movies, but I haven’t particularly liked any of the ones I’ve seen, for various reasons.
They will make props for anyone (Replica or Custom) as long as your willing to pay good sums of money for manufacture and delivery.
I was hoping to get money to buy the this full size replica; and who knows, If both Valve and Weta agree to it, we may be able to purchase the sentry gun in the near future

They should have built a Portal sentry instead
“I see you”
“Is anyone…there?”
“There you are.”
