Hideo Kojima FINALLY Confirms MGS Film
Filed under: Action, Fandom, Movie Marketing, Games and Game Movies
News of a film adaptation of the popular video game series Metal Gear Solid has been floating around the industry for a while now, but creator Hideo Kojima had remained silent about the whole affair until this week. Kojima finally broke his presumably self imposed silence on a Japanese radio station and confirmed the existence of a deal to bring his series to the silver screen. This was about all Kojima was willing to say, however, as he then insisted he couldn't talk about details such as a possible release date. Despite a dismal track record for such films, Hollywood seems to be experiencing something of a rush on video game-based projects lately with some heavy-hitting titles on the way -- leading some to believe the negative karma surrounding the genre may be on the verge of breaking. I personally shudder (in a mostly good way) to think of the sheer wall of crazy that will be a movie script written by the insanely unpredictable mind of Hideo Kojima; the man uses plot twists as frequently as some writers use adjectives. This geek is personally holding out some hope for a good film, although I inherently distrust the thought.

I hope it will beall CGI, like FF VII: Advent Children. IMO that will best keep the games' feel.

Hopefully he stays true to his word and will stay away from even thinking about having that useless bastard Uwe Boll involved with this film...
