RUMOR : A Metal Gear Solid movie is in the works.

Source: A slew of game sites loosely quoting an article in Variety.

The official story: "It's just a rumor. And we don't comment on rumors."--Konami spokesperson.

What we heard: It's easy to see how rumors could have sprouted from the remarkably thin Variety piece, which bears the headline "Game creator ready for pix." The article starts off well enough, reading MGS creator "Hideo Kojima is finally thinking about invading Hollywood as well." After mentioning Metal Gear Solid series' huge sales numbers (14.63 million units in total), the article makes a brief mention of how Hollywood studios have courted Kojima for years to get the MGS film rights. It goes on to mention that "Kojima, a movie buff and occasional film critic, has held off on selling film rights until now." It then quotes Kojima as saying, "Things one can express in a game are different of those in a movie...It would have to be a very different script, almost a different story." And that's it. No mention is made about an MGS movie in the rest of the article, which reads like a truncated interview with Kojima. No deals are discussed, no specific studios are mentioned, no concrete film production information of any kind is offered. So while we may see an MGS film in the future, nothing is in the works yet.

The concept's been kicking about since the first one came out, simply because of the cinematic style of the game... and the games huge amount of cinematics... The only thing I'd say is that I know that Kojima is a movie buff as the article says, so if MGS were to be a film I highly doubt he'd let it be a piece of derivative crap...

ye i know kojima is a perfectionist so if they do make the film it will ve worth seeing

it will be wierd seeing an actor play solid snake without david haters voice, who do you think may well be the actor??

I'd say they'd push for either Russell Crowe or Hugh Jackman, simply because they look about right for the part...

hugh jackman would be best, or maybe an unkown actor would be best!!

i think they should make the film based on on MGS1

I've never had faith in games-to-movies. Resident Evil was just another hackfest (I guess thats what the game was about?).

I did hear they're making a Call of Cthullu game though...

I agree, but if this goes ahead I wouldn't know what to think.
