[SolidSnakeMGS]

First of all I am cool personified.

If you say so.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah, Bana's stock just rose in my book.

 

[3dman27]

if they're gonna go with a more popular actor (which they'll do if they want to make more money), my choice would definitely be this dude...

[OtepApe]

I have always been a believer on Bana as Snake, that pic just cements it

 

[Boom]

At the Electronic Entertainment Expo last year, Konami revealed that work had begun on a live-action movie based on Metal Gear Solid. The news broke via a pamphlet for Studio Kojima, the Konami-owned development house headed up by Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima.

"I have received many offers to adapt Metal Gear Solid. It has taken a long time, but we have finally settled on an arrangement," Kojima said in a statement. "False facts aside, a movie project is underway. I have finalized a Class-A contract with a party in Hollywood."

For eight months, the identity of the aforementioned "party" was unknown. That changed this week, when Sony Pictures Entertainment vice chairman Yair Landau revealed his studio is developing the project.

"We're working with the Metal Gear guys," Landau told GameSpot following his D.I.C.E. Summit keynote in Las Vegas. "It's a very cinematic game, it really lends itself to movie-telling. But the question is, 'How do you translate Snake's experience into a full arc that conforms to what audiences expect on the large screen?'"

Landau also hinted the Metal Gear Solid movie may just be the beginning. "There are other games we are looking to develop," the executive said. "We're working with one of my favorite producers right now on an idea for an EverQuest movie." The producer was apparently of such stature that Landau declined to name him. "I'll let him disclose that," he said cryptically.

Besides the forthcoming World of Warcraft film, currently in development at Warner Bros., the Metal Gear Solid movie is the highest-profile game-film project in Hollywood. Previously, that that stature was held by the Peter-Jackson-produced Halo adaptation, which imploded last year.

[AssMan]

Just keep Uwe Boll & Michael Bay away from it

 

[Hunter Rider]

Sony are a decent Studio,hopefully this will be done well

 

[Tempest19]

Awesome!

 

[TKing]

Just keep Uwe Boll & Michael Bay away from it

Hideo Kojima says:

"Absolutely not! I don't know why Uwe Boll is even talking about this kind of thing. We've never talked to him. It's impossible that we'd ever do a movie with him."

The last time Sony pictures made a Konami game into a movie we got Silent Hill. It was a decent movie until the last half hour, when it just became awful. Hopefully MGS turns out a LOT better.

 

[Speedball]

Wait...
Warner Bros. is making a WOW film?
F*** yeah!
And Sony is an amazing studio that knows how to promote it's films pretty well.
And Kojima's involvement will guarentee us a decent film, at the least.

 

[Mr. Credible]

rock......... and then... roll

 

[Jspider13]

"the Metal Gear Solid movie is the highest-profile game-film project in Hollywood"

That's all I needed to hear.

 

[Hudson]

I was thinking could Ang Lee do MGS justice?

 

[Rockbottom]

Well the story and script will just need to be adapted really considering how good they already are, and they are pretty much long enough for a movie, question is, start at MGS 1 or MGS 3? I would say MGS 3 would transfer onto screen better.

 

[Jspider13]

Well it's not like you needed MGS3 to understand MGS1.

 

[hey yo its sean]

Hell yeah, dude. I only hope they leave this project in capable hands.

 

[DorkyFresh]

Alfonso Cuaron for director!!!

 

[Hunter Rider]

I just hope this doesn't sit in development for ages,i'd like to see a director and cast by the end of this year

 

[Speedball]

Alfonso Cuaron for director!!!

If he brings Emmanuel Lubezki along, I will cheer in the streets.t:t:

 

[batman44]

Sweet, Christian Bale for Snake

 

[Speedball]

Sweet, Christian Bale for Snake

Eric Bana
Bale is already Batman.
Bana was the Hulk, but isn't anymore.

 

[Rez]

David Hayter for Snake. Or at least a voice over. Seriously, I don't think I can live with a voice other than that.
