I could see two possible reasons for this. First being that the 'double-trouble' twin cliche has been done a few times in movies and mostly so poorly that it carries a stink to it imo. Second, removing the cloning issue may be an attempt to ground the plot a bit more closely to current reality (ie no 70's era human cloning). I thnk this presents issues with the 'genes' theme of the story, though.Henry Spencer wrote:That may be so, but he did mention that the two Snake's would be brothers and that they may not be twins anymore, I would get you the interview for it, but I really cannot remember which one it was, it was a very early one; just after the MGS movie was confirmed at E3. If anyone can back me up on this, please do so with a link.
P.S. Josh Holloway might be a good choice for the Snakes...

I've heard that casting choice before. Not the best choice for me. It's got to be Eric Bana, Christian Bale, Sean Bean or Hugh Jackamn, for me, anything else will fail.Nekura_Hoka wrote:I could see two possible reasons for this.

...sigh...sometimes, I really wish Kojima never retconned Snake to be half-Japanese. None of them fit that bill-- also, Sean Bean's too old.Henry Spencer wrote:I've heard that casting choice before.

Big Boss: Snake's my brother. (Slap) My son. (Slap) My brother. (Slap) My son. (Slap) My brother. (Slap) My son. (Slap) He's my brother and my son!
Does the movie version of the game's story and characters need to be the exact same as the game, though?Skycladiana wrote:...sigh...sometimes, I really wish Kojima never retconned Snake to be half-Japanese.

Yeah, besides. I think Snake in MGS4 is much older than Sean Bean, so...Osiris wrote:Does the movie version of the game's story and characters need to be the exact same as the game, though?Skycladiana wrote:also, Sean Bean's too old.
If i could vote who's Snake in the movie, my vote would go to Sean Bean, i think he's one of those few actors who could do it.
I hope that the rumours about Chan Wook Park directing the movie would be true, but i'm afraid that it isn't so because Park is not Hollywood Director. ??:

I believe that is a given.Osiris wrote:I can imagine Kojima saying the movie is a "reimagination" of the game series, so I wouldn't take everything as a given.
From the mathematical perspective, consciousness might be regarded as a second derivative of sensation.

Agreed. I think its should be taken as granted that many changes will be made in order to make Metal Gear more appealing in a movie format. We players like the series, but they will be selling to a much wider audience. I don't think there will too much concern over certain details being lost in translation. That being said I don't think we're looking at another FF: The Spirits Within.Snatcher wrote:I believe that is a given.Osiris wrote:I can imagine Kojima saying the movie is a "reimagination" of the game series, so I wouldn't take everything as a given.
