Michael De Luca (Producer for many films like Dark City, Ghost Rider, Zathura, Blow, Thirteen Days, Blade II, etc etc etc) and Hideo Kojima will produce the production with Sony.

Let the speculation begin! Who should direct? Write? Star? Write the score? Should it be an adaptation of MGS or another game in the series or a completely new story?

For a director, I don't know, I guess Christopher Nolan, this seems right up his alley. Or maybe Brian Singer. To write it, well at least someone who is a good scriptwriter, of course the end result will probably be changed greatly by the director and producers. For the star, I definitely think that Hugh Jackman should be Snake. He's bad ass, a good actor, and no stranger to action roles. Plus he definitely looks the part.

Either way, in the right hands, this has the potential to become the best video game adaptation, of course that is not saying much.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Unless they have flawless photo real animation down pat (which they don't) then no, absolutely not. Though I do imagine CG will be thrown in there.

How ya doing, buddy?

The reason I say this is that most of Kojima's english-translated masterpieces (the MGS series, ZOE, Snatcher) have done a bang-up job of being incredibly well-acted, in spite of having a complete no-body cast. Really, how many of you knew who David Hayter was before MGS?

Because big names equal quality acting, right.

How ya doing, buddy?

I said Kojima's stuff is usually well acted, even though the names are more or less unrecognizable.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That'd be cool if Christian Bale was doing the role. I'm sure he could pull it off. I still stand by my Hugh Jackman choice though.

I was speaking idiomatically.
