It kinda saddens me to read that because I love his work on video games, but the guy certainly earned his right to use his talent as he pleased. Bringing them to other medias is a cool idea. Writing a book ? I would definitely read it. As for the movie adaptation, as long as he's involved in it, my expectations will remain high. Kojima has never disappointed me so far. He is a true genious.

I love everything Medal gear but a movie? I lost faith in video game movies after max Payne, if anyone has ever played max Payne you would realize its basically a movie in itself your handed a script a screenplay and characters so well written you could use the voice actors but they managed to screw that up, it was honestly so hard to screw that movie up and they succeeded, I feel that there's a middle ground these directors don't get between Hollywood and video games hopefully this one will be made and not placed on hold forever like the Halo,gears,bioshock,uncharted and infamous movies

“I’m working with the producer of this project, Avi Arad, and he’s come to me with various offers, saying that there are a lot of Hollywood actors who want to be Snake in the movie,”

I wonder who these actors are? I nominate Steve Carrell.

To me I think Tom Hardy would be the perfect snake to be honest.... He's got the physical presence and top acting skills to play both Snake and Liquiq.

And Jeff Bridges as Roy Campbell...
Gary Oldman as Ocelot... http://pinterest.com/pin/93...
And Scarlett Johansson as Merril
Jamie Foxx as Drebin and we're all good.

I wonder when this movie will be release...they just announce a reboot of Escape from New York so it would be epic if they both released in the same year.

Solid snake is a bad @ss but Snake Plissken is the original character.

Here is hoping that Hollywood does not mess up any of these movies with 80% CGI.

caseh4044d ago (Edited 4044d ago )

Snake is based on several characters from movies, I can't remember the magazine where I saw the article but James Bond is another character that you see in Snake.

Like how he always gets the girl, always has sarcastic one liners plus he has a colleague who supplies his gadgets.

Plissken is undoubtedly Snake's appearance, pesimistic outlook on life and voice.

remember it would not be a metal gear movie if the enemies that sees you doesn't have an exclamation mark on their heads ! and then that alert sound and then snake needs to hide from enemies using his box lol.

Love to know how much he works on a game. 10% effort --- 90% credit

Ever see the credits of a Kojima game? The guy is a machine and does so much for his projects.

Trilithon68d ago

hes a decision maker. people don't always agree. but at least he has made a decision. imagine how many execs wanting the main characters outfit to have flowers cause their daughter likes flowers. this the power of being independent. only the real fans breathing down his neck

I really really miss MSG. For me its not a PS gen if there is no MSG. So this news is a God send for me.
