Devia Eleven Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Finally, after all this time the Metal Gear Solid movie is a reality. According to a report from Variety, Sony chair Yair Landau confirmed that a film adaptation of Konami's legendary stealth action game franchise is in the works. Landau gave the confirmation after his keynote speech during the DICE videogame conference Thursday night. The film's producer will be Michael De Luca, the same man who produced Ghost Rider, Blade II, and numerous other movies. Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear franchise, will be credited as the film's executive producer. No other info about the movie was revealed. The Internet Movie Database has the MGS movie slated for a 2008 release. Source: http://www.gamespy.com/ Sony is bringing hit vidgame franchise "Metal Gear Solid" to the bigscreen. Michael De Luca will produce the adaptation, with vidgame creator Hideo Kojima as exec producer. A bigscreen adaptation of the futuristic vidgame has been rumored since last May's E3 confab, but negotiations with Konami Digital Entertainment have been ongoing. Sony chair Yair Landau confirmed it was in the works following his keynote speech Thursday at the DICE vidgame confab in Las Vegas. Columbia co-prexy of production Doug Belgrad hailed the franchise as especially cinematic in its storytelling and "loaded with well-developed, intriguing characters." "Metal Gear Solid" has sold more than 20 million units since 1998, but its roots date back even further; the first "Metal Gear" game came out in 1987. Stealth action title became one of the industry's biggest hits and has four sequels, the last three of which came out under the "Metal Gear Solid" moniker. Another sequel is set for release this year. "Metal Gear" games involve political intrigue and have a generally antiwar message. CAA represents Konami and negotiated the deal.

Shibathedog Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 i wanna see! I hope they pick some guy who has a very similar voice, although i would probably end up laughing throughout alot of the movie. MGS is by far (IMO) one of the best series out there, but at the same time its so easy to make fun of and laugh at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
