Sooo...Marky Mark for Snake?

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.

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.
