Sony Pictures making Metal Gear movie

[devilscallmedad]

At the Electronic Entertainment Expo last year, Konami revealed that work had begun on a live-action movie based on Metal Gear Solid. The news broke via a pamphlet for Studio Kojima, the Konami-owned development house headed up by Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima.
"I have received many offers to adapt Metal Gear Solid. It has taken a long time, but we have finally settled on an arrangement," Kojima said in a statement. "False facts aside, a movie project is underway. I have finalized a Class-A contract with a party in Hollywood."
For eight months, the identity of the aforementioned "party" was unknown. That changed this week, when Sony Pictures Entertainment vice chairman Yair Landau revealed his studio is developing the project.
"We're working with the Metal Gear guys," Landau told GameSpot following his D.I.C.E. Summit keynote in Las Vegas. "It's a very cinematic game, it really lends itself to movie-telling. But the question is, 'How do you translate Snake's experience into a full arc that conforms to what audiences expect on the large screen?'"
Landau also hinted the Metal Gear Solid movie may just be the beginning. "There are other games we are looking to develop," the executive said. "We're working with one of my favorite producers right now on an idea for an EverQuest movie." The producer was apparently of such stature that Landau declined to name him. "I'll let him disclose that," he said cryptically.
Besides the forthcoming World of Warcraft film, currently in development at Warner Bros., the Metal Gear Solid movie is the highest-profile game-film project in Hollywood. Previously, that that stature was held by the Peter-Jackson-produced Halo adaptation, which imploded last year.

Resident Evil

Anyways gaf has some good suggestions on who should play snake

 

[Chandoo]

no one else but kurt russel gets to play snake

 

[radd]

why not hayter ? he IS the voice of snake and looks great. just add a mullet.

 

[Chandoo]

he doesnt look anything like solid snake, he's a skinny small white guy

 

[Usman]

Viggo Mortenson ... His voice is perfect match, I realized that watching Hidalgo. and with proper make-over he can look exaclty like snake...

 

[radd]

lol , i googled hayter and guess waht showed up,

besides , snake is nothing but a guy with a mullet. he has a pretty generic face.

@devil, resident evil also sort of counts towards sony because between 2001 and 2005 capcom supposedly had an exclusive deal with Nintendo to bring all RE games to the cube, but they still made 3 (not counting RE4) resi games for the ps2 in between that time.

As for re5, rumors on the net suggest the game will be exclusive to the ps3 in japan and even at that the ps3 version will be released before the xbox 360 version.

@radd
er.. those are some pretty bad comparison screens radd, they're actually from the first ever E3 MGS3 trailer which used a very MGS2-ish snake model, which was completely scrapped and redone for the final game . You should play snake eater for the best snake character map, he has a very recognizeable face and tone, hell the game also focuses on snake's eyes a lot (the fact that he LOSES one counting lol)

really none of this has any relation, RE is a sony movie and the game is multiplatform so is spider man and lot of other movies. This doesn't mean anything as far as the game is concerned.

yeah, we all know MGS4 is probably going to be ps3 exclusive anyway

probably, but who knows anything can happen

 

[Chandoo]

worst case scenario, mgs4 substitutionance 1 and a half year later on the xbox 360 which ends up doing nothing.

MGS Movie Producer, Exec Producer Named


The Hollywood Reporter is just bursting with gaming news tonight.
They're reporting today that not only is Colubmbia Pictures in negotiations to acquire the rights to adapt the game into a "futuristic spy thriller," but that the movie already has a producer and executive producer.
The exec will be, of course, Hideo Kojima himself while the producer will be Michael De Luca, who produced such movies as Zathura: A Space Adventure and the upcoming Ghost Rider movie.

Sony's Doug Belgrad and Sam Dickerman will shepherd the live-action project for the studio, working in consultation with Kojima as well as Michael De Luca Prods.' Josh Bratman, who brought the project into the company. Rick Privman of JEA will executive produce. Belgrad praised the "Metal" property, saying it is "loaded with well-developed, intriguing characters and (is) one of the first games to ever use cinematic tools in its storytelling."
