Yes it's been finally confirmed.. Sony pictures will make the Metal Gear movie.

Also stated warner bros is makign the world of warcraft movie. lol

BUT METAL GEAR IS ALREADY A MOVIE LOL

Now that that's out of the way, carry on.

I hope Uwe Boll directs. He's the only one who can bring the inane and ludicrous story of MGS to the big screen.

ok Peanut, your an idiot.

there!:lol:

metal gear was not always a movie lol.

i hope peter jackson directs it!:lol: a 3 hour movie and an extended edition.

You are the biggest tool I have ever had the displeasure of meeting online.

i dont think that is a good idea. it wont hurt the game franchise but i doubt it translates good into a good movie. maybe i'll be wrong though.

I hate to ask, but what exactly do you mean by tool?

Yeah, I said in the Nintendo discussion thread that my roomate called me a "tool" for taking all the mushroom houses in SMB 3. I always thought "tool" meant you were being used by someone and not knowing it. Has it take on a different meaning?

That's the definition common sense would dictate. Common sense seems to be exceedingly rare in Internet symantics, though. :)

Oh, can't anyone help poor, clueless Ecto Jedi?

These days, tool just means you're an idiot. It used to be used in the way that Snackpants pointed out, but now the term has gone on to include people without a f*cking brain in their head.

It's like telling someone they're as dumb as a brick, or they're a knob. Instead of saying someone has the mental capacity of a screwdriver, you call them a tool.

Ahhh, I see....I wasn't up to date on the new definition :D

Goddamn Internet. Always changing around the definitions of old words...

Konami said they wouldn't let that guy touch MGS with a 10 mile pole. And the MGS story is ludicrous

I know I'll probably enjoy the movie but if there doing MGS1 there going to have to cut alot of things out which means they might take out some really good parts (that I liked any way). Personaly I would rather see an ongoing anime of MGS then a movie so we could get every thing that happened and maybe a little bit more.

Oh and Uwe Boll would be a horrible choice, MGS dosent deserve that type of treatment.

The story might be um....farfetched but its still entertaining. Plus what story from a video game isnt farfetched?

Wow that's harsh man besides anyone who mention Uwe Boll to be the director is a tool themselves basically peanut, your insulting yourself, stop hitting youself!

Let me get dr. Phil for you :)

Will you stop this sh*t for god's sake?

Well I have decided this.. peanut and I shall go to teh bar and have a drink or 2, it's on the house I will pay and we will solve this grudge.

nuff said.

...okay, you do that Donnie...

Back to the Metal Gear Solid movie, I'm pretty interested into how they will make this. They have made Advent Children with Final Fantasy, so this will be pretty interesting. Now I really wish I own a Metal Gear Solid game for plot line fantasies :lol:

I wonder which game they would adapt. The obvious choice would be MGS but as it contains a lot of references to the older MG games it would probably be too confusing. I supposed Kojima will come up with an original story.

Sooo...Marky Mark for Snake?

First of all, the Uwe Boll thing? It was a joke! I thought that was pretty damn obvious. Secondly, name the bar, I'm in.

I was thinkin' more along the lines of Kurt Russel. No, I'm not joking.

Kurt Russel is too old (Though if they base the movie on MGS4, he could play Otacon - Seriously, look at the screenshots, it's uncanny). I heard Hugh Jackman was being considered, I guess he could work.

I hope the cardboard box makes an appearance.

A cardboard box joke*Which I'm sure will be in it* would be lamer then the "I'm juggernaut bitch!" line in X3

I hate the idea of a Metal Gear Solid movie. To me, the games were damn near perfect in their mixture of cinema-style cutscenes, incredible voiceovers and innovative interactive elements. Truly, a MGS movie just won't have the same magic -- if done right, it could turn out pretty cool, but more likely than not it'll turn out like Resident Evil or something. *shudders*

MGS wasn't just about the storyline or the characters, even though those played an important role. It was about the blending of the two entertainment medias, and you just can't get that from a film adaptation. :(

Dude..."crab battle"

Enough said.

If you want to see some amazing stuff from metal gear, I got some for you.

I'm also confused as to why pick MGS, yes I know its very popular and what got many into the metal gear franshise but if its a movie why not introduce people to the begining instead of the middle? But I know thats probably asking to much. Maybe well get lucky and well see some sort of off shoot where they combine elements from all the games story lines to make a new movie?

I think a movie could be fun but like you said it just wont have that perfect blend of the two medias that made it so fun to begin with.

that would be good. I know they can pull it off because every single Metal gear game has all been good. Each game has it's own plot and all the nessity story stuff.

It would be very hard to fit a good story in 2 hours but it can be done.

In all fairness, 'Metal Gear' and 'Metal Gear Solid' have become pretty synonymous, especially in the way that article throws the terms around. I guess it's still up in the air which game the movie will be based on.
