MGS movie

The Metal Gear Solid (MGS) series has a cult status amongst gamers that few videogames have achieved.

Created by Japanese games guru Hideo Kojima back in 1987 on the NES(Nintendo Entertainment System) as Metal Gear, the series started off as an 8-bit stealth game and has evolved into one of the most pioneering videogames on the planet.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is scheduled for a release this year on the PS3 and looks set to be one of the most amazing gaming experiences ever created.

Back in May 2006 Hideo Kojima announced that an film adaptation of MGS was in development

......However it would HAVE to be directed by Hideo Kojima and I cant really picture who would make a good Snake???......
.....

.."The JOEY has Spoken"

[riqued]

Not a good idea!

I would only accept it if Kojima directed the movie and if he makes at least 2 movies to tell the story in Shadow Mosses.
And he could make it CGI, so Hayter and other voice actors could be used.

[EastCoastSB]

The guy who does his voice actually looks like snake, so maybe him.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

The guy at Anime North 2007. His cosplay was freakin amazing.

[LastDance]

actually hideo kojima said he would work very closely with the director on the movie.

[Tyler Durden]

christian bale or hugh jackman i cant thnk of anybody else for snake as for ocelot http://i88.photobucket.com/...

[mazirjones]

Maybe you should be Solid Snake...

However I do feel that this masterpiece of a gaming saga should not be made into a live action movie... Why should it, it already comes across as a movie, and then some! It's best to keep this one untouched and untainted.

[tethered]

You are dead on with ocelot.
Sam Elliott would be the perfect choice.

[RecSpec]

With Tom Cruise playing the role of Raiden.

[Reggie Fils- Aime]

see Nintendo gave birth to all the greatest gaming franchises known to man

the POS3 might be getting the best game ever(MGS4) but Nintendo started it and Fony stole it from us

[darkshiz]

It didn't even start on Nintendo idiot.

[Mr Tretton]

haha, what and idiot!

[HarryEtTubMan]

lmao Hail to the king of all Douche Bags.

Nintendo fanboy u are DELUSOINAL. Sony Playstaiton is BY FAR the most succesful consoles of all time. Sony is the most successful console maker OF ALL TIME. PERIOD. AND EVERYONE KNOWS THIS. Nintendo was first and Sony made it is what it is todaY.

Sony ha PWNED Nintendo.

And the PS3 has BARELY begun.

[Kaz Hirai]

Your loving master, King Kaz, has negotiated with his good friend Hideo Kojima to bring you the Metal Gear Solid movie! Xbot PIGS, Nintendo GEESE- you do not deserve to watch this marvellous piece of cinematic genius!
To be released in cinemas worldwide in 2009!
And exclusively on HD-DVD in 2010................just kidding!!!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

[Reggie Fils- Aime]

well the Nintendo "geese" as you call them can play many great games while your POS3 only has Uncharted and Ratchet to show for itself

the Xbot pigs meanwhile..... have nothing that isn't on PC

[Kaz Hirai]

But clearly you cannot comprehend the sheer flood of AAAAAAAA titles available on the PerfectionStation 3! Hideo Kojima agrees with me! He abandoned you Nintendo GEESE and we welcomed him into the PlayStation family with open arms!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

[Reggie Fils- Aime]

you mean you tortured him to subject to your command

you obviously implanted some drug into his brain because no sane person would choose to work with Fony instead of the legendary Nintendo

[Kaz Hirai]

It seems you have forgotten about these numerous developers who have nothing but love and respect for Sony: Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Team ICO,
Polyphony Digital, Zipper Interactive, SCE Santa Monica and........who else? Ah, yes! Hideo Kojima! He dropped you GEESE quicker than Nazisoft drops their foolish PIG customers!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

[Reggie Fils- Aime]

hahahahahahahaha

moronic droid

you mention Sony Santa Monica yet you forget that your POS company created them and that's why they have respect for Fony- thats how they get paid idiot

[Tyler Durden]

sorry i have to take care of my soap buisness at 2.2 thanks it came to me when i saw ghost rider

[Spike47]

the guy that is acting as batman in dark knight should be the actor.

But they definetly can't have a youngster face like the guy from the hitman movie.

[Iamback]

Wow this is epic, battle between Reggie Fils- Aime and Kaz Hirai. Damn N4G is really big

[SilPho]

It won't be the same without Hayter voicing Snake. And what about Ocelot or Otacon, nobody else will be able to do their roles justice. (No offence to any actors that may get cast).

[xionpunk]

Can't go wrong with Bale, Jackman maybe though I don't know if he would fit. If they manage to get a good director everything will be fine. But thats the trick ain't it?

[Spike47]

vin diesel, lol.

Anyone heard about a god of war movie, jeez that would be awesome.

[Bull5hifT]

the god of war movie will star the black guy from Blood Dimond
he will be painted in white and red

THAT's EVERYTING ON THE MOVIE,It looks like Christian bale WILL be Snake!!!!!

[ScentlessApprentice7]

Christian Bale is really good at playing the role of Bruce Wayne, so playing Solid Snake shouldn't be too hard for him.

[Tempist]

I don't think that a movie needs to be done live action.

As is, the games (MS3 in particular) are highly cinematic, broken with the occasional game play. If there was a way to translate that aspect of the game into a movie, with a good story, then screw live actors, cut the cost of the movie, and get it out fast.

See how viable that would be before spending more money and making a live action version.

[fenderputty]

this would be highly unmarketable to the general public. They need to see stars.

[Tempist]

Name one major star who was in Cloverfield.

That didn't stop people from seeing it.

[jinn]

i cant wait to see Steven Segal play as Snake

[Iamback]

lol

[ScentlessApprentice7]

"About a year later in February 2007 it was announced that Sony Pictures bought the rights to the movie..."

And there, ladies and gents, is the reason why MGS4 will not be made for the xbox 360 (like it could even handle MGS4 without breaking down and dying like an old horse that can't even catch its breath).

If there is a MGS movie, it will be hated by the majority of gamers who like the series. Think about it, cramming a MGS style story into 2 hours? Where do you cut? You wouldn't have the crew of bosses standard for the series. Any longer and you turn off the general public, which will never happen since the production costs will be astronomical. It is an impossible feat, no one in Hollywood could pull it off.

If you turned it into a trilogy for one game it may be possible, or maybe one huge movie like Kill Bill, I hope this never sees the light of day to be honest with you all.

[znu]

i largely agree with u, they can't fit it into 2 hours because that would ruin it and making live action would suck, unless there's david hayter, even if he may not be the best actor(he's quite bad), him or nothin

they could however make a series, like a tv show or an anime atleast

or they can skip theatres and unleash a blu-ray movie that would basically have the entire trilogy of mgs, best in something like FF: advent children(like 30 hours or more of a fully made mgs movie on every chapter of it !)

I dont wanna see live action cause its gonna screw up snake's character and they can't fit it into 2 hours.

[Bull5hifT]

they need to hire a 007 movie director

for this to be epic, brb gonna see if clint's son looks anything like him

Well, first off let me say that I love The playing Metal Gear Solid games.If a live action movie was to be made;it would have to be as good if not better then the video games which will be hard to top because of the deep story which was be bought to life buy the CGI cut scenes.

[darkshiz]

MGS never had CGI cutscene.

MGS4 will have a CGI intro but that's it.

[lil Titan]

as having real actors would be a good idea i would like them to make it like like how Final Fantasy movies are you know like the cutscenes are in the game

[bootsielon]

What a waste of bandwidth

[lildave0500]

realy a MGS4 movie better be better then the game if its not then we should all go on strike!!!!!!! hahahahahahah

[Shaka2K6]

Oscar worthy cant wait.

[lildave0500]

helll ya

[DFresh]

Personally I want this movie to be filmed like Avatar all computer animated if you add real people it's just going to look stupid because it looks like it has nothing to do w/ the game.
Since it's coming out in 2010 it'll be nice to see Kojima and the Sony team learn and observe from James Cameron.
Avatar is going to make history 1st real 3D movie in film studios w/ out the 3D Lenses in full 7.1 surround sound w/ special HD Screens being brought in just for that movie.
However nothing wrong w/ voice acting though like off of Final Fantasy the Spirits Within.
This is the reason why those game movies flopped because it took away from the essence of the game filming the movie this way will appeal to many crowds trust me on that.
Not to mention it's sponsored by 20TH CENTURY FOX and is 100% blu only
aka Blu-ray.

[Hellgiver]

Well, I have only seen one video game to movie adaptation that I didn't enjoy immensely and that is the Super Mario Bros. movie. I loved DOA, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Hitman. I haven't ever been a big fan of MGS, but maybe this will get me into it? I love seeing movies of characters I have always loved to interact with in video games, so it is always a huge joy for me to watch such movies. I hope this one is as enjoyable to me as those in the past.

[Neo604]

Metal Gear is DOPE.
