Metal Gear Solid: The Movie

Posted by Robert Janelle Feb 12, 2007

Several game news outlets are reporting details released about the upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie.

What is confirmed so far is that it's being created in Sony's own studio and the producer will be Michael De Luca.

De Luca has previous produced Ghost Rider and Zathura: A Space Adventure. (Interestingly enough, he was also the executive producer for Hedwig and the Angry Inch.)

The Internet Movie Database has Metal Gear Solid listed as being released in 2008, but no other details are available...so the question remains...will it be any good?

The Metal Gear series is very cinematic (often criticized, though sometimes praised, for half-hour cut scenes) and has big screen potential, but I'm weary. Movies based on games have a history of being, well, not very good...(*cough* DOOM *cough*)

On the other hand, I first got into Metal Gear Solid when I played a pre-release demo and realized it was like playing a cheesy action movie.

I guess my biggest concern would be whose going to play Snake? I'm not sure I can deal with anyone besides voice actor David Hayter.
