Kane Parsons has long dreamed of making films based on Valve franchises.

Kane Parsons, director of the horror film “The Backrooms”, has once again fueled rumors about a Portal screen adaptation. On The Kyle Buchanan Show, the filmmaker appeared wearing a hoodie with the Valve logo, spoke about working on three “dream projects”, and confirmed that he had met with representatives of the company. Parsons refused to disclose details of his future projects, joking that he could be struck down even through walls for being too talkative:

“They would shoot me with their space lasers if I talked about it. They see through walls. They are very serious.”

At the same time, the director did not clarify whether the joke about “lasers” referred specifically to Valve. Furthermore, he cautioned fans against jumping to conclusions, describing his meetings with the company as follows:

“It’s more of an abstract creative conversation that could go in thirty different directions.”

However, some fans suspect that the director’s cautious phrasing conceals a non-disclosure agreement already signed with Valve.
