that's good news, he should probably direct himself, he seems quite good at directing the action in his games, just keep him away from the preaching in his script - urgh.
David Hayter for Solid Snake! Actually David Hayter said he would love to work in some capacity on a MG movie, even if it was only writing the script.

Man it HAS to be Hayter's voice at least. He IS Snake in that respect as far as I'm concerned.
IMHO it a shame it will almost certainly be live action and not just an animated (either CG or Manga or mix of the two a la Appleseed) flick. But teh Mainstream wouldn't buy that. Fuckers. Oh and I agree about not letting Kojima anywhere near the script - well at the very least make sure there is someone to have editorial control and take out all the silly bits. la-le-li-lo-li or whatever it was indeed. Heh.

the movie is gonna shame the series. Its bound to.. id love it to be good.. even have a good CG movie.. but it wont.. itll be shite.. I thought the same about the Resi movies and they were all shite. If they just took the story of one of the games or books they wouldve been fine

Given that MGS has forced me to sit through some of the most tedious cutscenes in gaming history, my expectations are no high.

give it to michel bay!!! lol
to be honest Tony Scott would be prefect but would never touch it with a bargepole. Quality over content is the way to go with these stupid ideas. I think when a franchise passes a number of sales it gets flagged for a movie. Bet there's a marketing equasion out there where you put the numbers in and get a yes or a no. Mario the film.... shudders... |

@madgfx
Problem with you argument is that Snake IS the yank. He is the John Wayne Yank archetype, casting Sean Bean as Snake would suck. However, I think we know of a British person within the franchise. Someone who looks rather similar to Snake? For the slow people in the audience, I mean Liquid. |

Snake a John Wayne Yank archetype lol thats funny did you ever see john wayne sneak up stealth style and kill some one.
As 4 snake being a yank he's not your Typical lets blow sh*t up action Type yank. I really don't think there are many yank actor's that fit the bill for snake. So who you have as Snake Rociel

Unfortunately, you guys are going to find that those cut-scenes you thought were good just plain won't work on the silver screen.

"There's no word on writers or, more importantly, actors yet"
Er, you mean that the other way round, right? MGS isn't going to be a hard film to act in, any number of people could do it (which is not to say who plays who isn't important) but as noted the cutscenes are important, which denotes that this film needs to have an actual plot. Therefore, in order for the plot to not appear total arse, it's vital that someone sensible writes it. To illustrate, take the film of Silent Hill: it wasn't brilliant, but it was pretty good, and without doubt the best game-to-film adaptation yet made by miles. It was well written. Every other game-to-film adaptation to date: no good. All not well written. |
