Metal Gear Movie Info Thread "Yup theres gonna be a Metal Gear Movie folks!"
Background Info Lots of rumors have been about a Metal Gear Solid movie since Metal Gear Solid 2 came out. At that time those were just rumors...now theres actually going to be a movie! Its still in production but will come. Sony Pictures is helping a lot and supporting this movie project. And of course no Metal Gear would be good without the writer 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 tells Gamespot. For those of you who still don't believe it Konami revealed this at Electronic Entertainment just last year. Not only is Sony Pictures helping in this movie project they are also looking into doing an Everquest Film. Beside all that theres really no info on the cast or the story-line of the Metal Gear Solid movie. Many rumors have been going around that it could be based on Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots. Sadly since this movie is still in production theres no info on the cast for this movie. On many Metal Gear fansites people think Eric Bana should play Solid Snake, others disagree and say David Hayter should play him since he voice acts Solid Snake. A release date for this movie wasn't released either. My prediction is that the movie would come along in late 2008 or early 2009.
Storyline/Plot At the moment there is no info on the storyline or plot of this film, more details to come soon! Although rumors are still going around about the story being around the events of Metal Gear Solid, being Solid Snake trying to take out the FOXHOUND Unit. This isn't confirmed yet. Other rumors have been floating around being the story around the time of Metal Gear Solid 4.
Cast/Characters/Crew Theres no infomation of this topic either yet. As said before the movie is in early production and doesn't have any hard details right now. For the characters of this film we can expect Solid Snake to be the star of the film and of course have Liquid Snake in the movie too. Its uncertain on if theres going to be returning characters such as Raidan or if the movie will have a new role out of characters. At the moment Sony Pictures is the main film industry that is trying to lift this film off the ground and get it rolling soon. UPDATE: More rumors have been floating around on other MGS fansites saying they want Eric Bana to play Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid movie. This turns out that its not confirmed by any on at Sony Pictures or at Konami. Eric Bana - The next Solid Snake? Main Characters Solid Snake - N/A - Coming soon... Liquid Snake - N/A - Coming soon...
Soundtrack We can expect soundtrack and music of this movie to be composed by Harry Gregson-Williams. This is not confirmed yet but since he composed the music for the past video games it would make sense for him to compose new music for the film.
So When Is This So Called "Metal Gear" Movie Suppose To Come Out? There is no confirmed release date of this movie but many people predict late 2008 or early 2009. On IMDB the Metal Gear Solid Movie page has been updated to a release date of 2009.
Interviews/News Sony Pictures making Metal Gear movie [UPDATE] Executive confirms his movie studio is working on the live-action adaptation of the seminal stealth action series; Sony also pondering EverQuest film.By Tor Thorsen, GameSpotPosted Feb 8, 2007 10:21 am PT 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 address 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 stature was held by the Peter Jackson-produced Halo adaptation, which imploded last year. [UPDATE] On Friday, news of Sony's involvement surfaced in the Hollywood trades, which gave further details on the deal. According to The Hollywood Reporter, former New Line Cinema chief Michael De Luca is in talks to produce the project, with Kojima himself being named as executive producer. Sony executives Sam Dickerman and Doug Belgrad are in charge of finalizing the deal to acquire the Metal Gear Solid film rights, which is apparently close to completion. Belgrad hailed the Metal Gear IP as "loaded with well-developed, intriguing characters and one of the first games to ever use cinematic tools in its storytelling."
