Metal Gear Solid is often hailed as one of best video game franchises of all time and fans have been saying for years that it would work well as a movie. It's been 12 years since game creator Hideo Kojima said that there would be a movie coming out but it looks like it's finally happening.
Things seem to be progressing nicely as a producer and director have just been announced and they seem to know their stuff. Derek Connolly, who wrote
Jurassic World, has been brought in to produce the movie along with Jordan Vogt-Roberts, who wrote
Kong Island and
The Kings Of Summer. Here's what Jordan had to say:
Quote:Metal Gear Solid is probably the most important franchise to me on the planet. It is such a genius, idiosyncratic work and being able to spend time with Hideo Kojima recently has been like a dream.That is a property that I will fight tooth and nail to make sure is done properly because it’s so easy to screw it up and so easy for a studio to try and make it into G.I. Joe or try and make it into Mission: Impossible or try and make it into something that it’s not.Metal Gear Solid needs to be exactly what it needs to be, which is Metal Gear Solid.
The fact that one of the producers is such a huge fan of the game is certainly a huge plus. Lets hope they don't make us wait unother 12 years!
