Metal Gear Movie Announced

[krec9]

It's about time. Now all they need is a good cast and director.

They need a great script.

 

[Solid_Slug]

Holloway actually could be a rather good choice. He sure does look a bit like (Solid) Snake and I think it's safe to say that atleast he can act. But yeah, they also need a good director, script etc.

 

[Wicked Clown]

They need a great script.

Yes that to, which is the most important.

 

[thenammagazine]

Yes that to, which is the most important.

Depends. I've seen good directors and phenomenal actors ruin fantastic scripts.

 

[Solidus]

This again? Sorry, but I hope this gets shoved down to production hell like the last time. MGS has always intertwined elements of a cinematic experience and game play - and for that reason, it should remain purely as a video game where its success is based. No reason to have it ruined on the big screen by some director's (or actor's) interpretation of MGS. I'm completely and utterly against this rubbish.

 

[Solidus]

I want to say is the best news ever but all video games adaptations have being a fail.

kojima must be at the helm of this movie or it will be an epic fail.

Time will tell.

jackman as SNAKE I hope so.

Very true. Least we forget the horrors of the video game to movie adaptations, which have all passed by as a wretched stink, besmirching great video game franchises everywhere. I pray that MGS will be spared from such an atrocity .

I'll probably get ****, but Jackie Earle Haley gets my vote. I know it's a weird pic, but, eh.

I don't recall Snake being a Hobbit.

Just saw this thread, argh! Too late in the game to post..

But before seeing this thread, from a Metal Gear Solid fan, I want Karl Urban to play Solid Snake:

If the movie starts off with the MGS3:Snake Eater plot though, I want these actors to play:

Naked Snake / Big Boss - Hugh Jackman

The Boss - Kate Beckinsale

I always thought David Hayters snake voice sounded ridiculous. Its worse than Bale's gravely batman voice.

 

[Nightwing]

...I wonder who looks like Big Boss...

Not really, no.

...I wonder who looks like Big Boss...

Beard aside, I don't see it.

Looks like he could be big boss to me

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Wonder if they'll go Snake Eater or MGS1

 

[karamazov80]

I actually think Kojima should be kept at arms length should this happen. I love the games, but primarily for the gameplay and characters generally, as the story components often degrade into cheesy melodrama. I get the impression that Kojima is into that (as many Japanese videogame designers seem to be). Works with an often over-the-top videogame, but not so much in live action.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

What would you guys say the key things this would need to really be a worthy MGS movie.

For me it'd be the Bandana, Codec, unique colourful villains, Sneaking Suit & stealth

 

[Furyan]

NOTHING is worse than Bale's batman voice...NOTHING!

Also Id like to see William Nieson as Big Boss. Not sure who could do Solid justice.

I realize this movie is going to blow. It's going to be 15 minutes of actual movie, and 50 hours of gameplay. I'm paying for a movie here dammit!

As long as there's at least 10 minutes of watching an egg fry in a pan, it'll be good.
