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."

    You mean to tell me that Metal Gear Solid was supposed to be a game, and not a PlayStation rendered movie?

    Wow - sure fooled me.

    But this is one "game"-based movie Hollywood can't possibly screw up, all they're doing is reshooting the original movie using actors and not using PlayStation graphics. Other than that, no changes should be required.
