David Hayter talks Lost Planet film News
PlayStation 3 News by Ellie Gibson
David Hayter, the man who provides the voice for Solid Snake, has been chatting about his role in the forthcoming Lost Planet movie.
The film hasn't officially been announced by Capcom, but according to IGN Hayter is already in talks to write the screenplay.
Speaking at Anime Expo 2008 he said, "It's not entirely confirmed yet, but we are just closing the deal with Warner Bros. for me to adapt Lost Planet."
Hayter wouldn't say much else about the project but he did tell the audience, "When they gave me Lost Planet to play to see if I wanted to write the movie, I looked at the environments, I looked at the vital suits, the armor, the creatures, and watched the story.
"While I couldn't take those scenes and put them up verbatim, I can appreciate the core of the story and what it is about the character's journeys that grab people."
It won't be Hayter's first experience of writing for the big screen - he's previously penned dialogue for the first two X-Men movies and The Scorpion King. Rumour has it he's written a script for the Metal Gear Solid film, too.
Rumours are flying that Capcom will announce the Lost Planet film at E3, so maybe we'll know more next week.

He needs to focus on Watchmen. Thats needs to be a good film.
Since they've all but finished shooting it there's not much else for him to do. |

Sorry, what? Was there anyone that actually understood the story for Lost Planet? The whole thing made no sense at all!

hmm, could be a cool bit of crimey sci-fi done right, but no doubt they will turn it into some hamfisted action+romance fluff.
P.S. please never ever ever do a metal gear film, so wrong, sooo wrong. Plus i am not happy about them trying watchmen, just look at the debacle that was League of Extraordinary gents! yow |

He says he's written a treatment for an MGS film... which would definitely be an interesting read.

I've seen the screenplay for the Metal Gear Solid film. It's fifteen hours of interactive DVD menus with twelve minutes of story in between.

lost planet..a game that could possibly make an amazing film... i mean you can do nothing else but improve on the nonsensical story.. if there was ever a game that was more about computer generated eyecandy lost planet is it... could you imagine a huge snow worm fight on a big screen..i can and i get pretty excited about that... mechs, monsters, snow and big smoky explosions... im assuming hayters script is about 10 pages long
voiceover snow explosion monster explosion snowmonster explosion mech explosion end credits illusiondance . loeg was a weird mix of lots of people wanting to do different things , make ite a victorian xmen,make it more boys own adventure...give it a bunch of cgi etc... its a comic that would just be a huge failure as a film..and the film is fine for what it is (massive loeg comic fan).... watchmen as everyone knows is an amazing script that stays very,very close to its source material hayter has spoken a lot about how much he worships the watchmen comic.. alan moore is just a pretentious idiot when it comes to turning his books to film. |

"I can appreciate the core of the story and what it is about the character's journeys that grab people"
Was that really what grabbed people? I thought it was the running about and shooting that did it. I personally started skipping the (very nice looking, but nonsensical) cutscenes pretty early on in LP, got to the end without a clue what was going on, but found my experience no worse for my ignorance. |

Am I the only one who wants another Guyver movie? He kicked ass in Dark Hero.
