Urgh, Rock, no. That's as bad as Tom Cruise. :(

Except The Rock can act and isn't a brainwashed fruitcake. :P

What about Karl Urban as Snake? I think he looks the part, and as far as I can tell, he can act.

Yeah he's not apeshit crazy I'll give him that. However, sorry but I can't take a film seriously if he's in it. It'd just come across as a pointless, action movie with a few cheap thrills. Then again, it's not like this project isn't in danger of becoming just that...

Except if Karl Urban is cast in another videogame movie it will be Federally mandated that the Rock is in it and that it sucks. That's just how Hollywood works. Please, MGS does not = Doom.


I think Powers Boothe might make a good Ocelot. His role in Sin City (Senator Rourke) reminded me of Ocelot.

If they ever make an MGS3 movie, I think the guy who plays Sark in Alias would be a good young Ocelot:

That guy looks too paranoid to be young Ocelot. Plus whoever is cast as young Ocelot would have to look like whoever is cast as the Boss.

Ha! Now that would be acceptable. There would be no chance of ruining it that way! Yes, this has my vote. The movie should be a film adaption of Snake's Revenge.


Also, Michael Shanks as Otacon.



Edit: Oh hell, they should just make the movie a comedy based on "The Last Days of Foxhound" comic at Gigaville.com. Nobody in the world would understand it except me.

For instance, in this scene Psycho Mantis takes the Foxhound unit on a mind dive into Ocelot who is in a coma. The ghost of Big Boss is there too to fill in Ocelot's missing memories. They come across Ocelot's memories of the events of MGS3:

Did you get it? No? Good. Keep it that way.

I wouldn't put too much into this...It could end up never going through...

A while back they were in production for Deus Ex: The Movie, and they had Willem Dafoe to play Bob Page and everything, then production was cancelled.

I don't think production would be cancelled for a Metal Gear movie. Studios have been waiting years to get their gready hands on Metal Gear and Kojima has prevented it all this time. Why he would sell the rights now instead of way back when I have no idea. The point is that if Kojima is endorsing it, it's more likely than not that it's going to happen. Since KP is announcing "something BIG at E3 not game or trailer related", we should wait to see if the movie get announced at E3 before seriously continuing this discussion.

Perfect for the role of Otacon. However, he's gonna end up as another Jeff Goldblum IMO. Damn good actor but destined to play the scientist.

Just like Kiefer Sutherland is destined to play the badass government agent.

unless they do it all CGI ala final fantasy advent children. ;-)

Oh and I think Jean Claud Van Damme looks like snake. He can definitely move like him too, although not so sure about the voice. ;-)

Double Post:
Oh and this guy would make the best ocelot, great actor too. he's the guy from silence of the lambs (ted levine)

NO.

I don't really think I can see him as Revolver, actually. :\

Makes me wonder when they'll release an MGS anime.

For the love of dear god. I mean, how could Hideo sell out that badly? A movied based on the wouldn't work because like JAzz said, you would have to cover Metal Gear 1 and 2.. Outheaven.. Big Bosses Betrayal... Gray Fox's past... It would have to be like over 2 hours unless they want to be stupid and do one of those prologue*sp* explaining everything in a quick worded summary

Aaaahahahahahahaha. :tpg: I'm sorry but, NO. I thought the movie would have been beyond ridiculous with Tom Cruise or The Rock as it is, but that bundle of talent right there? Oh man it'd be an oscar contender. :edgartpg: Might as well consider Arnold for the role or something...

I had to scroll up just to see who had posted that. Cereally, what the hell are you thinking. Keanu Reeves was made for the role of Solid Snake, not Jean Claud Van Damme.

Val Kilmar was Liquid would actually fit... he looks the part and he can act like a complete duche.

Van Damme can't act for shit and he doesn't know anything about being a real man.

ARNOLD AS RAVEN!!

"Metal gear."

LOL, more like "Woah".



What about this guy, Josh Holloway?

He looks the part, he's certainly got that Snake vibe going. I don't know if he'd be able to do the voice though.

I was trying to convey the flat delivery, but oh well.

In that pic, he does look like a good Snake. And everyone knows that if they can't do the voice, David Hayter will just dub it.

What would be wrong with using the Wolverine guy? I have not seen his movies actually, so maybe he just sucks, but I thought he did look the part well.

Tha's not a big idea... Give the guy a mullet and he might just fit the profile of Snake.

I just started thinking.. something new right? What if Hideo does a complete brand new story, sort of how they fucked up on Silent Hill and on Resident Evil?

Same idea, way different story.

I'd go with Karl Urban or Bale!!!
