Metal Gear Solid Movie Casting Call

Ian Fisher writes: While no actual news has come to pass which points to a MGS movie being resurrected, I thought it would be fun to make a few picks on who would be the best to bring the characters of Metal Gear to life and which creative talent would be the best to adapt the vision and story created by the legendary Hideo Kojima.

That's a pretty decent list. Just as long as they keep Paul W.S. Anderson away from it, it should be good. Having said that, I'd probably see it if he was directing anyway...

jony_dols4254d ago (Edited 4254d ago )

Kurt Russell as Col. Campbell, Rachael McAdams as Meryl & Cillian Murphy as Otacon, with Duncan Jones to direct would be pretty amazing.

The rest of the list would be up for debate though...Viggo Mortensen as Snake would be my choice; he can act, he's got a voice like gravel & for everyone who's seen LOTR or A History of Violence, it's pretty evident he can handle physical roles.

And any VG film adaptation that doesn't have Paul W.S. Anderson or Uwe Boll attached, might actually stand a chance!

doogiebear4254d ago

Hugh Jackman as Snake. See the comparisons people have made in google images and you'll see why he's perfect.

cyclonus0074253d ago

Jackman's a little old to play the MGS1 Solid Snake though I could definitely see him playing Big Boss.

doogiebear4253d ago

Who ever said it was based on mgs 1. Plus Snake was in his 30's in MGS 1, Something Jackson can easily pull off.

Personally I hope it's a prequal to any one of the games, instead of a re-creation of an existing game. Where's the surprise if I already know all the plot twists.

DivineAssault 4254d ago

hopefully the movie wont get cancelled

ScubaSteve14254d ago

ok this movie is going to suck WTF have Dwayne Johnson at least David Hayter is writing the movie

Summons754254d ago

lol This guy clearly didn't watch the Doom movie

ScubaSteve14254d ago

clearly i did and he was god awful in it

wishingW3L4254d ago

Doom was godawful indeed.

Moby-Royale4254d ago (Edited 4254d ago )

Semper Fi Mother F-----!

I love B-movies(Evil Dead 2, Dead alive) and that is *one of my favorite lines.

I adore that movie. Plus that movie introduced me to the great Karl Urban.

Man that stand off at the end was excellent!

Also The Rundown is good.

I think the movie is called Five. Idk his most recent movie to star in where he is hunting down some bad dudes and killing them. Anyway he was pretty dang good in it. The scene with the preacher in particular.

In regards to the Metal Gear movie: As somebody mentioned Vulcan Raven would be a good fit.

AO1JMM4254d ago

What!!!!!? The rock? as what character may I ask would he play?

doogiebear4254d ago

David Hayter is writing it? Seriously?

RmanX10004254d ago

As long as they keep any and all, sparkling vampires away from this film, im ok with anyone.

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney4254d ago (Edited 4254d ago )

Perfect lead character!

I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.

Popsicle35d ago

Agree that the generational gap is too broad to really make a strong list. Need to tighten the years a bit. Hard to compare Pac Man with N64 games.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater - Official Unreal Engine 5 Trailer | Xbox Partner Preview

Get a glimpse at how the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be updated through the use of Unreal Engine 5.

Snookies12181d ago

It looks wonderful visually. Frame rate is very inconsistent though, and definitely running sub-30's at times. I get that this is an alpha version. I just hope we can hit a locked 60 on the final release. Also, I kind of wish they'd expanded the areas a bit. Might feel a bit odd going through these sections that are still clearly going to be on a PS2 scale in size.

neutralgamer1992180d ago

They should expand where necessary and I really hope they do justice to this remake. IMO this remake should be top tier like dead space, resident evil 2 & 4 and demon souls

I am speaking quality wise

CrimsonWing69181d ago

Holy sh*t that looks good! I hope they don't censor it.

GamerRN180d ago

What is there to censor, I never played 3

An Xbox adventure in the jungle

BehindTheRows180d ago

*A multiplatform adventure in the jungle.

autobotdan180d ago

Mentions xbox on n4g. Prepares for nasty n4g comments replys

BehindTheRows180d ago

I mean, you can say that to yourself while you're drugged up on Xbox pills. Changes nothing. :)

autobotdan180d ago

Man you get insulted whan someone mentions xbox. You might need medicine

BehindTheRows180d ago

"Insulted" — says the guy running around like a headless chicken trying to convince folks to care about his favorite box. Ok champ!

BehindTheRows180d ago (Edited 180d ago )

If you actually have a counter argument to this being a multiplatform game and how "A multiplatform adventure in the jungle" was a "nasty reply", I'm all ears.

I'll even help you... what is the counter to this being a multiplatform game and why is that a nasty reply?

autobotdan180d ago (Edited 180d ago )

I was never in any argument or debate. You accused me of being on xbox pills. That was a nasty reply. I am done here. Not going to waste my time here

BehindTheRows180d ago (Edited 180d ago )

I mean, if someone responds to you with a factual correction and you reply with "Xbox xbox xbox", I'm not sure what kind of response should be expected.

If someone replied with "Ps ps ps", I'm sure you would wonder what is going on, especially if nothing wrong was said to you.

autobotdan180d ago

A factual correction?? What the..? I'm very confused here What were you correcting?

BehindTheRows180d ago

I thought you were done? :P

Answer: it's just as much a PlayStation/PC adventure as it is Xbox.

autobotdan180d ago

So i hurt your feelings by not mentioning Playstation/pc on an Xbox event article correct?

BehindTheRows180d ago

Hurt MY feelings? Once again, if someone replies with "Xbox xbox xbox", it's clear that they are affected by something more than they should be. You then double down with some BS about N4G (like this place is immune to trash talked about anyone else but them).

Plus, I thought you were leaving? You can't help yourself. XD

Unreal Engine...how disappointing.

Apovyk181d ago

UE5 is the best looking engine on the market today - why is that disappointing?

RedDeadLB181d ago

Because, at the moment, the most technically problematic and disappointing games run on it. 540p upscaled next gen goodness.

DarXyde181d ago

Disappointing if resolution is a huge deal for you.

Personally, I feel a re-tooled FOX Engine would have done great. If it was a PS5/PC only title, I think Decima would have been an excellent choice.
