If they had got someone like Mann to make this film and cast Christian Bale, then this could have been awesome!!

Thank god for that, MGS should stay as a game unless they get somebody who is a GENUINE fan of the games to direct/produce. Good to see that Konami are possibly being over-protective, they seem to have the common sense not to squander a licence with fantastic potential if done correctly.

Last I heard, Paul W S Anderson was sniffing around this project, at which point my balls promptly jumped back up into my body.

They're back now.

No way, Sean Bean was born to play Solid Snake

As a fan of Solid Snake, and admitter that the games are epic and make me cry like a little girl at points...yes you read right. By all means make a film, but keep it CGI and have David Back to voice him and Kojima to direct. Win/Win situation in that method. Thoughts?

If Kojima wanted to make movies, he would be doing so already. The problem is he wants to fit in 20 hours of plot, so he makes games instead. Hopefully Konami have some sense and dont sell out.

Good riddance, stop trying to cash in on video game franchises you money obsessed producers; your whats wrong with film these days with your high budget, CGI, blockbuster vomit. Go donate your money to charity or make a decent film and stop wasting our money and the many hours of our lives watching the rubbish you adapt.

I actually look at MGS as the best film i've ever played, and so the idea of Kurt Wimmer directing this made me sick. This has Cameron all over it, but it's too similar to what he's done before. Mann would be great but his action style and tone doesn't suit the games. Yes, i would love to see Michael Bay's Metal Gear Solid, just as long as Kojima keeps him away from the script. I keep expecting Len Wiseman to get involved, which would not be a bad thing. As for Snake, I only ever saw Eric Banna. Sorry but Bean is too old and too Northen. I too am glad Konami are protective and wont settle for anything short of the games standards. This is great news.
