With the recent announcement of a Metal Gear Solid movie in the works, the webs are a buzz with rumors and speculation as to who should take on the role of video game icon Solid Snake as well as the rest of the polarizing cast of characters surrounding the Shadow Moses Incident on which the film is said to be based. After much discussion, we at Suddenbrain have assembled a cast list of our own. Keep in mind that we aren’t quite delusional enough to think several of these choices are even feasible. We’re talking best case scenario here, so here’s to hoping that the movie is actually made and that they assemble a cast that even vaguely resembles the list we’ve made.
"Roy Campbell - Kurt Russell"
"Meryl - Jessica Biel"
GTFO. Daniel Day Lewis is way too old to play Liquid and how much make up or earrings he wears won't change that. Kurt Russell is the perfect fit for Big Boss considering the similarities between him and Russell's character Snake Plissken. And Jessica Biel is way too busty and curvy to play Meryl.
I think if she could just step away from that innocent shy girl acting, she'd be fine.
Kathy Bates- Meryl
Roy Campbell- Will Smith
Otacon- Sylvester Stallone
Perfect cast.
it's hard work but it's possible.
my top choice is josh holloway.
i'd actually prefer it if it didn't have liquid snake in the movie i'd much rather them adapt the first msx metal gear into a movie with big boss as the villain.
Like sound.
Solid/Liquid Snake - Christian bale or Karl Urban
Campbell - Kurt Russell
Octagon - Cillian Murphy
Revolver Ocelot - Danial Day Lewis or Sam Elliott
Naomi Hunter - Olivia Wilde
Meryl - Jessica Biel or Michelle Rodriguez
Donald Anderson - Djimon Hounsou or Don Cheadle
Phycho Mantis - Doug Jones
Decoy Octopus - Ralph Feinnes
Sniper Wolf - Charlize Theron or January Jones
Mei Ling - Ziyi Zhang Picture
Natasha Romanenko - Diane Kruger or Charlize Theron
Vulcan Raven - Nathan Jones
Kenneth Baker - Brian Cox or Brendan Gleeson
Jim Houseman - Chris cooper or Jason Issac
Gray Fox - Scott Adkins
How dare you!
I was SO thinking about Michelle as Meryl, but I don't think 'many' will agree with her not being a natural redhead. She would be ultra badass. Such an underrated actress.
& YES, Charlize as Sniper Wolf!
I just milk'd...
Jesus christ...
"I was SO thinking about Michelle as Meryl, but I don't think 'many' will agree with her not being a natural redhead. She would be ultra badass."
Being badass isn't something that should be looked in the person being cast as Meryl. Not to mention Rodriguez's ethnical origin not matching Meryl, you have to take her innocence and rookieness into account too. They just don't match in any way. I mean did you even finish the first game?
halle berry was catwoman
Samuel L Jackson was nick fury
All these characters where originally white, so whats your point?
I would rather have a good actor to play the part and come across as a soldier, then some lame eye candy of the correct ethnicity, who would drop dead if she broke a nail on set.
"I mean did you even finish the first game?"
Many...many times, sir.
WHAT I meant by "ultra badass" is that she is not a timid, "oh, I'm so scared" type of character. Granted, she had her rookie-esque wetness to her during MGS1, but she still maintained an tough soldier aura, which is pretty fitting for Michelle Rodriquez. Michelle's characters often carry those traits, & she nails it all the time.
As for her not being hispanic, that doesn't matter much, in fact, her protraying Meryl would only attest to how good an actress she is, stepping out the box & all. Also, it's not like she has some strong Schwarzenegger accent that can't be masked.
I mean, are you saying that Michelle Rodriquez lacks innocence?
Meryl's character HAS to be sexy & no-BS tough. Also, prefer for her to be an natural redhead, but if necessary, bleach & dye will just have to do.
Again, don't want no 'famous' actor playing Snake. It will draw too much unnecessary attention around the actor & not really focus on the story.
The Colonel can be an AAA star/actor, just for starpower & backbone.
Ooh!
& Beyonce as Fortune!
J/k,
But, I'm saying...
By the way.. you cant have an MGS game without Johnny!
Authenticity is the key.
who to say it wont be just the story of metal gear, or metal gear 2: solid snake?
an introduction for Big boss of some kind needs to be introduced, not just the way MGS does it, and the terrorist, are demanding the remains of big boss. people who dont keep up with plot would spend the rest of the film questioning who the F@*k is this big boss character mentioned everything ten minutes?
