Metal Gear Solid Movie Confirmed

Gamespot has word that the Metal Gear Solid movie project is a reality. All we really know is that Uwe Boll will not be directing. From the article: "After assuring readers at length that German director Uwe Boll will not have anything to do with the project, as rumored, Kojima talked about the film. 'I have received many offers to adapt Metal Gear Solid, It has taken a long time, but we have finally settled on an arrangement,' said the revered designer. 'False facts aside, a movie project is underway. I have finalized a Class-A contract with a party in Hollywood.' Kojima did not mention the name of the party, a release date, or any potential directors or stars."

I have a bad feeling this movie is going to be 17 hours long with 15 hours of CODEC conversations about other movies. Snake: Interesting... How do you know all this stuff?

Para-Medic: I saw it in movies. Like "White Zombie." Never seen it?

Snake: Nope.

Sigint: Can't say I have.

Para-Medic: How about "Plan 9 from Outer Space?"

Snake: No.

Sigint: Missed it.

Re:Snake... Snake..?.. SNAAAKE!

I just want to see how they work the box in.

The box is easy. Now, how are they going to work in the ! marks over enemy heads? ;)

No need.

If you haven't seen it already, the new real-time trailer for MGS 4 doesn't seem like it needs a Hollywood counterpart. Just tape the in game play and release it on the big screen. :)

And the actor for playing Snake would have to be..

[GroeFaZ]

Chuck Norris, 'natch.

Snake

Norris

The similarity is just too striking. Also note that, if you take the letters S-N-A-K-E and hit them with a roundhouse kick to the neck, they equal N-O-R-R-I-S. Coincidence? I think not.

Oh no, the truck have started to move!

You'll be able to experience a guy with a mullet smoking and punching dogs like never before!

Act II Scene 4: Cardboard Box

[vertinox]

Iroquois Pliskin: The cardboard box that you have is ideal for fooling your enemies. It's a very important tool for infiltration missions.
Raiden: Really?
Iroquois Pliskin: Of course. I can't begin to count the number of agents whose lives were saved by a cardboard box...
Raiden: You mean everyone's using them?
Iroquois Pliskin: Look, I'm not exaggerating when I say the success of your mission hinges on how you use that cardboard box. But in the end, a cardboard box is only made of paper. Handle it with care or it won't be of much use to you. Don't think of it as just another box. Treat it with love... Don't be rough. Okay?
----
Pliskin: [muttering] I lost a lot of good cardboard boxes thanks to you.
Raiden: What?
Pliskin: Oh, nothing.

It can be done...

At first, I was skeptical of someone being able to capture MGS into anything other than a video game - until I saw this: http://www.deviantart.com/view/29463025/.

Appropriate Wardrobe?

[shigelojoe]

If people dressed up as hobbits and wizards for Lord of the Rings and as Jedis and Sith for Star Wars, does that mean people will be showing up for the MGS premeire in cardboard boxes and mullets?

I'd be happy just so long as enough girls dressed as sniper wolf.
