Metal Gear Movie Confirmed.

'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.'

Moving this to the proper forum: Movies and Media, General Game Chat is for threads about video games, not movie adaptations of video games. threads about movies of any kind belong in the aforementioned forum.

 

I think i should say something like Yaaaayyy!! as i am a m.g.s. fan but what are the chances for the game to become a really cool movie?

 

Same here. I'm a 'Metal Gear Solid' fan and I hope the movie has a pretty decent storyline.

Solid Snake better have a pretty damn good actor too.

 

Is it gonna be animated? Or is it gonna be a real actor?

 

I think i will see it but if it's animated than no.

 

Okay, an EverQuest movie? Why in the name of Darkness for?!

But seriously, they better keep Kojima involved on this one. It's the only chance that it won't horribly fail in the long line of movies based on video games that have also failed. I'm looking at you Bloodrayne. >X>;

 

Bloodrayne was...strange...'very' strange.

I'm quite worried who is going to act as Snake, Otacon and Liquid in the Metal Gear movie.

 

i cant wait to see who plays snake in the movie....who would be perfect thaat role in the movie?!?
