[Movie] Metal Gear Solid Movie Announced

That Biehn/Snake picture is too awesome for words.

I would find it odd if any MGS game was adapted into a film, as I'm sure there are more cutscenes than actual gameplay. It's an exaggeration, I know, but you get my meaning.

I wouldn't want a flat-out adaptation of MGS. What I think could work is to combine some of the original Metal Gear and MGS. Put Outer Heaven in Alaska because the snow and cold visuals would work for the atmosphere of the film. Either keep the Big Boss plot twist and don't bring in Colonel Campbell, or make him the villain from the beginning. Say he went rogue with the other 'former' Fox-Hound members and keep Snake as a current Fox-Hound operative. Make it his first or second mission, or something. I'd keep the Rex design, but I wouldn't mind a redesign if it didn't suck. Keep the Gray Fox story, but include the ninja and have the revelation halfway into the movie or something.

Directors -- Maybe Doug Liman, because I was impressed by The Bourne Identity. J.J. Abrams is a possibility since he made Mission: Impossible 3 worth watching unlike the first two. Anybody but Boll, Bay, Woo, or Tony Scott please.

Writers -- Hell, ME if I had any say in this, but in seriousness, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci of Alias fame.

Film score -- Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer, Michael Giacchino, or even Harry Gregson-Williams.

Cast -- I'll jump on the Hugh Jackman as Snake bandwagon. He's definitely suited to the role. If this were 1989 or something Kurt Russell and Michael Biehn would be at the top of my list. Viggo doesn't have the anti-hero quality, IMO.

Roy Campbell: Gene Hackman
Big Boss: Sean Connery, Donald Sutherland, or maybe Brian Cox.
Otacon: Colin Hanks or Jake Gyllenhaal
Liquid Snake: Hackman in a dual-role? Sean Bean wasn't a bad choice, either. Maybe Daniel Craig?
Sniper Wolf: Insert random hot blonde starlet here.

I'm at a loss for other characters.

Also, Sean Bean FTFW. He is an excellent actor....wide range of talants but mostly happens to play a disgruntled, crazy terrorist loool

I guess for the kind of movie A History of Violence was, I stand corrected. I haven't seen it in a long time and I own it.

Sean Bean as Liquid Snake. I forgot about his hair in LotR! Heh. If GoldenEye is any indication, he does the villain role well.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

"What is this Outer Heaven you speak of?"

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Doug Jones (Abe Sapien from Hellboy and Pan from Pan's Labyrinth) for Psycho Mantis, IMO.
