Sony Pictures making Metal Gear movie
[UPDATE] Executive confirms his movie studio is working on the live-action adaptation of the seminal stealth action series;
Sony also pondering EverQuest film.


At the Electronic Entertainment Expo last year, Konami revealed that work had begun on a live-action movie based on Metal Gear Solid. The news broke via a pamphlet for Studio Kojima, the Konami-owned development house headed up by Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima.

"I have received many offers to adapt Metal Gear Solid. It has taken a long time, but we have finally settled on an arrangement," Kojima said in a statement. "False facts aside, a movie project is underway. I have finalized a Class-A contract with a party in Hollywood."

For eight months, the identity of the aforementioned "party" was unknown. That changed this week, when Sony Pictures Entertainment vice chairman Yair Landau revealed his studio is developing the project.

"We're working with the Metal Gear guys," Landau told GameSpot following his D.I.C.E. summit keynote address in Las Vegas. "It's a very cinematic game, it really lends itself to movie telling. But the question is, 'How do you translate Snake's experience into a full arc that conforms to what audiences expect on the large screen?'"

Landau also hinted the Metal Gear Solid movie may just be the beginning. "There are other games we are looking to develop," the executive said. "We're working with one of my favorite producers right now on an idea for an EverQuest movie." The producer was apparently of such stature that Landau declined to name him. "I'll let him disclose that," he said cryptically.

Besides the forthcoming World of Warcraft film, currently in development at Warner Bros., the Metal Gear Solid movie is the highest-profile game-film project in Hollywood. Previously, that stature was held by the Peter Jackson-produced Halo adaptation, which imploded last year.

[UPDATE] On Friday, news of Sony's involvement surfaced in the Hollywood trades, which gave further details on the deal. According to The Hollywood Reporter, former New Line Cinema chief Michael De Luca is in talks to produce the project, with Kojima himself being named as executive producer.

Sony executives Sam Dickerman and Doug Belgrad are in charge of finalizing the deal to acquire the Metal Gear Solid film rights, which is apparently close to completion. Belgrad hailed the Metal Gear IP as "loaded with well-developed, intriguing characters and one of the first games to ever use cinematic tools in its storytelling."

Probably going to suck, but who knows, I'll hold high hopes until I see a trailer.

Maybe they'll get David Hayter to play Snake, I think he looks close enough to be able to pull it off, and it'd be awesome to get the same voice.

It has to be Hayter. I can't imagine any other voice coming from Snake.

I don't think it's been scrapped completely. I think they lost Peter Jackson as a producer tho.

Check this out, him "performing" in front of a camera. It's a little quiet, but yeah, he should play the part.

They'll probably end up casting like fucking Nicholas Cage as Snake.

Apparently the guy who made Metal Gear wants Christian Bale to play Snake.

I retract my statement, this is gonna suck.

Shit, I dig Bale as an actor but I really can't see him as Snake.

I can see him as Snake, christ the guy is an awesome character actor anyway, he has strong facial features and a decent presence.

Personally I'm excited, now it's more of a question on what kind of story they are going to follow, anything from the games? Of course the end will be him destroying at least 1 metal gear, which other characters will be involed?

Otcocan?
Big Boss?
The Major?
The La Le Lu Li La?

Nah, I can't see anyone else playing Snake except David Hayter. Pretty much the same way I can't see anyone else playing 47 except David Bateson.

The casting will make this movie. Movie itself would be amazing, but without the right actors - it will suck.

If they do the story from Metal Gear Solid then it alone would make me see the movie. That's one of my top 3 favorite games of all time.

I hope they do the one with Meryl and Sniper Wolf and all them. That was the only Metal Gear Solid where I had to keep playing to beat it, the other ones i just kinda gave up on. The first one just had something that kept me into it.

Hayter has a pretty decent Acting Portfolio according to IMDB.com, so I don't see why he shouldn't play Snake. Also snake is going to be in a Smash Brothers Game.
