David Hayter talks Lost Planet film Comments by Ellie Gibson

I wish he wrote the screenplay of the MGS games as well. I really enjoyed them but boy, the pace can drag those games out.

A screenplay?!

He needs to focus on Watchmen. Thats needs to be a good film.

I bet the main character has a name change.

Lost.... Planet ?!

Did anyone else read that quote and imagine the voice of Solid Snake saying it?

Excellent Snake, age hasn't slowed you down one bit!

He looks like Ricky Gervais!

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.

+1 ... exactly what I was thinking!! :)

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.

Every time the woman spoke I got distracted. And they were all women. At least as far as I could tell.

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

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.

Also he wrote The Watchmen screenplay, which talking heads have called 'very faithful', so that's hopeful. Anyway I love David Hayter. He could take my manhood any day.

Oh god I did not just type that

He's voiced Solid Sanke and did the good X-men thingys. I like Dave.

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

Seriously, that sounds like some huge vice bust...
