David Hayter reprises Metal Gear Solid role in Ford commercials

Solid Snake voice actor David Hayter to star in MGS fan tribute project

Last month the Metal Gear Solid fan remake, Shadow Moses Project, was unceremoniously shut down, ostensibly due to legal pressure from Konami.

Escape From New York IP-holder wanted to sue Metal Gear Solid
John Carpenter said not to, because Kojima is "a nice guy".
It's no secret that Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima is a fan of John Carpenter's 1981 Kurt Russell vehicle Escape From New York.

There's yet another reference to Kurt Russell's character in Metal Gear Solid 2 wherein Snake goes by the alias "Iroquois Plissken". The similarities were so close that the company who owns the rights to the film, CanalPlus, wanted to sue Kojima over it.
