Metal Gear Solid movie confirmed.

and Uwe Boll has nothing to do with it!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah. Or if they must do anything after MGS, perhaps it'd be best if the movie isn't live-action.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Maybe Hideo can work closely with the director to create a new story together that is both fitting within the MetalGear universe and be sane enough for the average movie goer.

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

I didn't suggest for them to completely undo everything that makes Metal Gear...Metal Gear. Just, tone it down a bit. Then again, that would probebly upset many gamers (including me). Perhaps they can go for that "so ridiculous and kooky that it's funny and awsome" vibe. Y'know like the double-double crosses in MGS2, Snake flicking a cig all in slo-mo at the beginning of Snake Eater, etc.

It's definately gonna be interesting to see how they're gonna adapt this into a movie.

How ya doing, buddy?

I think MGS on Wii would be pretty damn awsome.

Anyway, I really think that they'll be able to get away with a lot more MGS insanity if the movie's animated.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Unless it tries to be a semi-parody of itself perhaps?

Wow the resemblance between Sean Connary and Big Boss is freaking uncanny. Tom Cruise however, needs to stay as far the fuck away from this project as possible. In fact, it'd be pretty great if he never made another heavily advertised film ever again.

FELIPE NO

remember that? :P

http://www.rusperevod.com/article/mgsmovie.html site link incase all the pictures don't work.

Although when it's being cast. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for the love of GOD give Vulcan Raven to Micahel Clark Duncan. Dude is just built for the part. Of course I could see where The Rock would probably get cast. (LOL Rock as Solid Snake)

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

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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...

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. ;-)

Aaaahahahahahahaha. 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. Might as well consider Arnold for the role or something...
