Metal Gear Solid:- The Movie

[nitrox]

Yes, it has been confirmed it's happening. It is being produced by Avi Arad, the same guy behind The Amazing Spider-man, The incredible Hulk, and a load of other movies.

I'm excited but skeptical. It'll be a tough translation.

If they nail it I'll be one happy camper though.

This sounds bad. I know they turned down the scripts written by David Hayter who plays snake in the games and knows the storylines and they said he won't be Snake. I know tons of fans are already planning not to see it just for that and apparently there have been petitions. I know they had wanted Christian Bale to be snake.

As long as there is a scene where Snake hides under a box, I'll be happy.

Or a question mark that appears over his enemies heads.

Or he goes through the whole movie using only non-lethal tranqs

That would be for the crappy PG-13 rating which is made for the soul purpose of selling toys.

As long as Avi Arad has as little influence on the film and David Hayter has at least some type of writing credit

 

[Wes R]

I have no doubt that Hayter would rock in this movie and I bet his scripts he submitted were top notch. I saw him as Snake on an awards show and it was cool even though it was a thrown together sketch.

A long time ago I wanted this but the last few games have been films in their own right. We don't need this and I'm afraid it won't be very good...

 

[CaptainWales]

If they wanted to make a film that best represents MGS itd have to be SO long considering how long the cutscenes are in game. I'm pretty sure in MGS4 there's one that's dangerously close to an hour long.
I'm going to Eurogamer at the end off the month where Hideo Kojima is doing a dev session on the 25th Metal Gear anniversary. If we're allowed to ask questions I'll try bring up the movie and see what he thinks about it.

"Huh?! Whose footprints are these?"

 

[Wes R]

If anything a trilogy of CGI films would be the best bet but then I'd only trust the creator to oversee this.

"MERYL!!!"

Frankly I'm more excited about the MGS: Ground Zeroes trailer-

Way back in the day I used to think that Sean Bean would make the ultimate Liquid Snake...

That looks pretty darn good. And he has that raspyness to his voice that resembles Snake. I like Jackman. It isn't a bad cast choice IMO.

If only we had a time machine. We could go back 30 years and grab Kurt Russell to play the part.

Hell ya! Kurt Russel vs. Sean Bean. I want to see it.

 

[Dave Ward]

I used to quite enjoy the games but the last one I played IMHO was beyond pretentious, if you tried to put something like that in a movie, it would get laughed off the screen.
