I agree. I'm also pretty certain that i'll be pissed off as soon as I see the Star dressed as Snake, whoever it is.

Why would you think any movie studio would take the franchise seriously? The games are a smash-hit because they're a technical marvel, as well as being fun. Hell, they wouldn't even need a story and they'd still be great games (some might even say better without it). But purely as a story, no studio would want to adapt the material into a film. At most, they'd purchase the rights to use the Metal Gear name and change it into their own concept. Kojima knows this which is why he's so hesitant to turn his stuff into a movie.

The reason that Kojima does not want to make a Metal Gear movie himself is because he feels it is best in the format of a game, not because he feels the stories are weak. Also, if I remember correctly he has said that he would not object to having someone else make the movie but he is not intereseted in it.

I'm aware of his reasons. I'm only expressing my own and what I think would be any Hollywood studio's opinion for the prospect of financing the project. Besides, I think Kojima's a bit more hesitant on the idea than you seem to think.

I just watched Batman Begins for the first time, today. I'd be happy to see Christian Bale play Snake.
