This could be terrible, it could be awesome. But I shall be seeing it.
Someone on the SA thread says they heard David Hayter is picking whoever gets to be Snake. Alaan fucked around with this message on 05-02-2006 at 08:08 PM.
It's not something people hear about.

The director was reluctant to give specifics
I don't know if they are refering to him as the director of the movie or the game. Stupid ambiguity.
quote:I don't know what kind of hype about the Doom movie you were reading, but the majority of what I saw was skepticism.
Flea.
I'll laugh when it gets as much hype as Doom, and ends up the same way, not even worth renting.
And the chances of this movie being horrible on the same level that Doom was are slim to none. If the MGS movie ends up sucking, it's not going to be for the same reasons that Doom did.
tl;dr: saying that makes you stupid
Same thing with an MGS movie. It COULD rock hardcore, but it would have to remain true to the spirit and story thrust of the series rather than mimicking the gameplay. And to get that spirit right you need the man who wrote all the stories to date.
So by and large, I agree with Sean.

The only video game movie off the top of my head that I can think of that was at all worth it's snuff was Mortal Kombat, and to be blunt the movie created a LOT of storyline depth that just plain wasn't there in the games.
So let's not delude ourselves that people defend their titles to the bitter end here when it comes to movie translations.
The most promising thing I see in the link posted is that Uwe Boll isn't attached to it.

Delidgamond had this to say about Punky Brewster:
I wonder if they are going to have Kurt Russel play Snake Pliskin again
Interestingly enough, Carpenter and a couple of other guys wanted to do an ongoing "Pliskin Chronicles" comic.

Doom was absurd. I could have written it perfectly, assuming everyone in the United States was male and aged 15-30 years old. As for this, well..."DA BWIGHT WED DOT IN THE CORNER OF THE SCWEEN IS YOU, SNAKE!!" - Mei Ling

"Ther are no continues, Snake." could be a great line just to be thrown in.
