Sony/Columbia Pictures Are Making A Metal Gear Solid Movie

PushStartSelect: "Straight from the Metal Gear Sold Anniversary event, we have breaking news! Ever dreamed of seeing Metal Gear Solid as a movie? I have, even started writing several scripts for it to happen, and now it is actually happening! Confirmed from the event is a collaboration between Colmubia Pictures (Sony), Kojima Productions, and Konami to create Metal Gear Solid movie. There isn’t much details, but this is exciting enough. Kojima always mentioned he wanted to take part in the production if this ever happened, did he get his wish or just simply break and allowed Hollywood to get their paws on it?" (Cinema, Metal Gear Solid)

Please don't suck. As much as I've wanted a MGS movie, I've always kind of worried about it too. MGS is filled with a lot of 'iconic' things, from Snake's voice to a distinctive style; things that don't typically transfer well in adaptations. Still, I can remain hopeful!

the producer is Avi Arad from Marvel and it seems that the budget will be fairly large. On twitter they said that they want Nolan to direct the film and the dream cast are:

Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Hugh Jackman and Bale.

If all that turns out true then we have nothing to fear!

Damon, Affleck and potentially Bale to play Solid Snake and we have nothing to fear? All of them would be terrible terrible TERRIBLE choices. Not overly fond of Jackman either but he at least looks like he could pull off Solid Snake.

Those aren't my choices... I'm just saying what Kojima posted on his twitter! And not all of them are choices to play Snake.

I actually like that cast myself, specially Christian Bale and Jack Hughman. If you knew anything about films you would know that those 2 are incredible actors. That Hughman has been on many terrible movies is not his fault, the director is the one that makes the actors shine independently if they are bad or not. The actors aren't the ones that make a movie be bad or good, it's the writers and director the ones responsible for that.

No, please no.....

We don't need a super dark MGS, and Bales Batman voice was horrible....and we want him to be Snake? Please no.

I love Nolan, but I just don't see his work matching up with this just right. It would be interesting though so I'll love it if he directs. I just don't want Bale being Snake AT ALL. Great actor, but Snake has that grainy deep voice and Bale proved he can't do it with Batman.

but they aren't! MGS games may resemble cinematography but story telling in video games is completely different from a film. Obviously films have a time limitation and they are more focused. The experience is totally different.

Story-telling in games is all about explaining why are you there and why it should be exciting for the player. Films doesn't care about that, films only care about telling a story.

Here's hoping Kojima is involved in some way.

Hayter or GTFO.. seriously, with such an iconic voice, they're going to mess this up big time. If I recall from the last pictures I saw of him, he might need to get in shape but really.. there is only one person who can accurately play Solid Snake.

When it comes to looks I'd say Bale looks almost like snake, second would be jackman.... Another actor that looks the closest to snake, would be a young Clint Eastwood, but unfortunately we can't go back in time :(...

I wonder which MGS game their going to start it from?

Here's hoping to a success, seeing that this is on of my most favorite game series their touching on.

I think the first one will be a dud in a way. Similar to Spider-Man it will be a good movie, but the reboot is where it will shine. Its hollywood, we all know its coming.

I REALLY hope Kojima is in on it. During the announcement it said Kojima Productions and Columbia, so thats a good sign. Also the earlier rumors were canned because Kojima couldn't find a studio to let him work on the movie too. Now that a studio signed him, perhaps that changed?

The first spider man (2002) is better than the ramake

Funny how everyone worried about the looks ..... The only thing i´m worried here is who is gonna helm it hopefully not McG and other bunch of Sony kids.

My favorite director would be Nolan since Metal gear has always been about the story, dark and twisting and he knows how to put together a great story like that

Everyone still seems to be waiting for that one big video game adaptation that just sets the standard and brings all movies based on video games to a new and respectable level.

This will be the movie that never ends. The introduction will be longer than most current movies. But seriously I hope they do a good job.

yes, take all the time you need to make this movie as close and as epic as the videogame. i hope they make some good decisions and assemble a good casting list for this.
