Oh Yeah!There's only one word can describe Metal Gear Solid -
SOLID!!!
As for the MGS movie, speculation has been flying about a silver screen Metal Gear Solid adaptation, but series creator Hideo Kojima has been tightlipped. In a recent broadcast of Hide-chan Radio, Kojima announced that MGS was indeed getting made into a feature film. "We're going to do it as a movie," he confirmed. "A Hollywood movie." When? The director was reluctant to give specifics, saying "I can't say when yet." He added that the film was going to be in English.

Sony gears videogame for film
Popular franchise coming to bigscreen
By DIANE GARRETT, BEN FRITZ De Luca
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. | |
