Not anything very new, but just confirmation that everything's getting on okay. The idea of the film being so eagerly anticipated makes me think that they will make a series, with each film concentrating on a speciffic game. Not something I'd bet on, mind you.

Man, I read this today too -- I'd hoped this had quietly been canceled or something. I can't conceive of any scenario this will be good to a fan of the series. I hate to be a fanboy but without Kojima at the helm as at least a producer or something it'll probably do minimal justice to the name. Take the brain out and condense it into an average action flick at best.

In the meantime I'm waiting to see how fucked up the Transfomers movie is.

Knowing Kojima, I don't think he'd want to be too involved in the film. He'd rather work on new games. He likes seeing his stories interpreted by other people (Kitamura on TTS, Wood on the Comic, etc.). I don't think he will have much involvement, unless the director is afraid of the backlash from fanboys.

Personally, I don't care. If it turns out to be a good film? Great! Another piece to add to one of Gaming's finest series. If it's crap? Oh, well. It doesn't affect the games. A bad MG product isn't going to make me feel differently about some of my favourite games.

Yeah, but if it's following the MGS storyline closely and executes it all very well, we'll be in with a winner all right. However, if we come up with a stinker then I will wanna run the other way.

It's just really one extreme to another, I certainly won't be very happy if it's average either, I think it all rests on the director and writer the most.

The producers have been revealed-
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/sea ... =100354389
Michael De Luca (the producer) apparently worked on Zathura and Ghost Rider. I haven't seen either of them, but what I heard about them was negative.
Kojima's being credited as Executive Producer, but I still doubt he'll be very involved in the project.

De Luca is the president of production at DreamWorks Pictures! He also produced Rush Hour 2, American History X, Blade 1 and 2, Dark City and a whole host of other good films. He is actually very good, that report about the guy was awful, he's much better than just, 'Zathura' and 'Ghost Rider'. So that is actually good news to me. :smile:

Zathura was badass.

I'm not joking either. For what was supposed to be a kiddy flick it was damn good.

Completely the opposite. "Rush Hour 2" "Zathura" and "Ghost Rider" hit me right in the nuts.

I'll give it up for Blade 1 though at least.

I wish for once a VG movie would get a big-time name attached to it. And not fall through halfway (Halo). Maybe it has happened before, I dunno.

I don't really think it matters until we get the name of the director. I wonde rif it is one Kojima is a fan of or not, anyway, he doesn't have any control at all, he is merely the executive producer!

So, did any of you guys actually watch Zathura? It comes off as a really crappy kiddie flick if you only watch the trailer, but it's actually not bad (the kids actually acted like real kids, complete with occasional swear word and all). I'd rather watch that then, say, Finding Nemo or something like that (well, I probably wouldn't be watching movies like that at all anyway, I watched Zathura when I was home sick from school and had already watched everything else), and it was a very faithful adaptation from the source material from what I understand. Ghost Rider looks like it's going to be a faithful adaptation too, which isn't really saying much because the source material really wasn't that great, but, honestly, I think this could be in worse hands.

Yeah, the guy produced American History X! Now THAT is a powerful movie! The guy is the head of Dreamworks productions as well (along with Spielberg and someone else), so he can't be that bad!

Here's a thread I started on another board: Thoughts on the perfect casting for an MG movie?

Sniper Wolf -- Scarlet Johanson (read this on SRK)
Young Ocelot -- A two-years-older-than-his-young-Indy River Phoenix
Old Ocelot -- Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven
Old Snake -- Sam Elliot in The Hulk
The Boss -- Linda Hamilton in T2 all the way.
Meryl -- Rachel Leigh Cook in Josie & the Pussycats
EVA -- some random Playmate
Old Big Boss -- duh, Sean Connery.
Raiden -- Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic is a girlie boy...
Otacon (we have a dispute) -- Cary Elwes from The Princess Bride?

And MG movie would be awesome with the original inspirations, eg, Snake - Kurt Russel, Ocelot - Lee Van Cleef and such.

I don't know how Kurt would be Snake, he is FAR too old. I see Kurt playing Big Boss, actually, if anything.

If anything, I would prefer Keifer as Solidus, it would definitely add a certain twist to his roles he is constantly playing as of late! Keifer's far better then that typecasting.
