Metal Gear Movie Confirmed
February 8th, 2007 Posted in News
At E3 2006, it was announced that a live-action Metal Gear Solid film would be made. Now, it has been confirmed that Sony Pictures is working on the movie. The producers are working with Kojima Productions, so the authenticity of the game will not be lost. Vice chairman Yair Landau has said that they will try their best to capture Snake’s storyline, although it is unknown which game the adaptation will be based on.
In addition to this, there is talk of an EverQuest movie to go into production. There have been a slew of video game title movies in the makes recently, including World of Warcraft, Resident Evil, and of course, Halo.

I’ll stick with Halo for now. This seems a bit “busy”.

I don’t think this is a good move but I could be wrong. Most movies mad from games usually suck but maybe because of the characters involved this one can turn out decent. Better to be optimistic I suppose.

Funny thing is, the first game the should have been movied was the one that actually had a suitable plot for it: OOT. And no, that poor excuse for a low budget on doesn’t count.

I don’t see how someone else than Hayter is gonna act as snake, the voice is too cool to be done by anyone else. but the film, will rock if they take the piss out of raiden, like with raikov in MGs3.

The film would definately have to have an epic storyline like MGS1, othrewise it would seem a little repeptetive. they could even brigde the gap between 3 and 4, that would be cool, inless it isn’t done in MGS4 itself.
Who’s gonna direct the film anyway? it will probably be Hideo Kojima, as he will probably recieve more death threats if someone else stands up. judging from the scenes in the games, the film should be awesome.
