Oh, dear. Not content with banging out big screen adaptations of BloodRayne, Dungeon Siege, Far Cry and Fear Effect, to name but a few, Dr Uwe Boll (no more of an actual Dr than Neil Fox, we suspect) has now expressed an interest in bringing us a Metal Gear Solid movie.
In an interview with film website Insomniac Mania, Boll said that the latest games to catch his eye are "Postal and Metal Gear." As we reported previously Boll has already acquired the rights to produce a game based on Running With Scissors' appalling FPS, but this is the first we've heard of Boll's interest in doing an MGS movie.
Fortunately, we can't imagine it happening, as Hideo Kojima's always been very protective of the idea. And we do mean fortunately. Some of us have seen House of the Dead.
Course, he'll want to get Dungeon Siege out of the way first - starring Leelee Sobieski, Ron Perlman and Jason Statham, the film is due out next year and according to Boll we can expect "rough brutal battles combined with martial arts action. The kind that is in HERO."
Insomniac Mania was sure to ask Boll the questions on everyone's lips, namely: "Will we see any hot women in metal underwear? ", "Will we see scantily clad women with swords?" and "Will Burt Reynolds have a moustache?"
(Answers, if you're interested: "Kristana Loken and Leelee Sobieski are warriors," "A few" and "A full grey beard.")
He also hinted that there could be a new Dungeon Siege game based on the film - "We're working on it," apparently. And as for those of you who might just have a tiny inkling that the movie's going to be an absolute stinker, Boll simply says: "Wait and see." Will do.
You can read the full interview on the Insomniac Mania website.

"why do people in hollywood keep letting that no-talent assclown make movies? "
They don't. Bolle uses what most people in HollyWood call "Stupid German Money": http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,945768,00.html "Hollywood is suffering its own cash crisis but it’s nothing compared to Germany’s financial woes. However, things could get a lot worse for the film industry in Los Angeles if what the big wigs in La La Land call "stupid German money" stops flowing in from the other side of the Atlantic. The considerable investment Germany has provided over many years has long been a thorn in the side of Berlin’s finance ministry, yet, under current rules, those who choose to invest in Hollywood productions can write off 100 percent or more in initial losses against tax, making investment in the movies an attractive option for thousands of private investors looking for a home for their money. Germans invest about €2 billion in media funds per year, with about 70 percent of that going to projects in the United States."

you can't even watch House of the Dead for the hilarity as it is beyond any from of so bad it's good imaginable - 90 minutes of stunned disbelief and random pixelated images from a computer game thrown in for good measure...
It is scary how Uwe seems to get some decent on paper ensemble cast together for his films though |

so Kojima convinced them to put the "demo theater" in cinemas *LOL*
Kurt Russel would've been great yet he's too old. |

Was DS anything like HERO... i look forward to see the hero fly around and walk on the end of a leaf doing a 1080 while cutting the bad guy's head... This guy is so stupid... I bet he is just full of cash and as never plated a f*c*i*g game in he's life... Who else in this world could actually do a movie based on a game with no actual story... |

I'm sorry? If Kojima really IS a huge movie fan, why is the voice acting in his films so appalling?
Was I the only one to semi-enjoy the premise of Postal 2? The way you could go through the game WITHOUT pissing on anyone or setting them on fire, just doing your chores was an interesting concept, even if it was badly implemented.... |

I doubt an English speaking videogame director couldn't direct Japanese dialogue half as well as Kojima directs his English speaking voice actors.
The man is a bit of a movie buff. He's mentioned it in a couple of interviews, along with naming Snake Pliskin (Escape From New York) as the character basis for Snake in his games, as well as saying that MGS is based on The Great Escape. It seems daft, but I think it had something to do with the hero having to avoid detection and escaping without a fight. |

Nice to hear about that. Thanks for sharing this article. Leelee Sobieski was the fiance of Adam Kimmel. The world's most famous Helen Hunt look a like is also pregnant with the couple's first child. The bride and now mother to be has been out of the spot light for some time, but has been in a few successful films, such as Deep Impact and recently a supporting role in Public Enemies. The groom and father to be is a fashion designer in New York City. (A fashion designer in New York? Not like there aren't a million of them or anything.) Well, congratulations to the happy couple – let's hope that Adam Kimmel can get a big old cash advance for some new shirt or something – kids are expensive.
