Metal Gear Solid: The Movie(2009) confirmed

redsai4lex · 09-30-2007, 10:12 AM

The popular video game franchise, Metal Gear Solid is hitting the big screen. But who is going to play as Solid Snake? Well in a interview with Christian Bale (from Batman Begins) in the recent Nuts Magazine that he will be starring in the movie.
Metal Gear Solid: The Movie(2009)

personally, I think Bale is almost perfect for the role,
but you can never be too sure about these things...

A lot of people say "I would have to see him in a mullet and beard first..."
Keep in mind that in MGS1, Snake had neither,...
he had short hair and was clean shaven...

Here's my opinion of supporting actors that would be great for their roles...

Solid Snake- Christian Bale / Hugh Jackman
Liquid Snake- Jason Statham
Meryl Silverburgh- Jessica Alba / Milla Jovovich
Otacon- Ioan Gruffudd
Sniper Wolf- Kiera Knightley
Vulcan Raven- Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Revolver Ocelot- Hugh Laurie
Naomi Hunter- Jennifer Connelly

This is outstanding casting...

But it's already a movie

*Dr. Doom* · 09-30-2007, 01:39 PM

As much as I would have a nerdgasm over my favorite actor playing Snake, I guess I'm a little skeptical, the whole "too good to be true" angle and all. So I definitely want it to happen but I won't believe it until I see more proof.

My feelings on MGS summed up perfectly right there.

Do you have any confirmation regarding Bale? I haven't heard anything about that. I heard he, Viggo Mortensen and Hugh Jackman were being considered for the lead role. I think they'd all be good for the part, though I'd give a slight edge to Viggo.

Bale would work too, assuming this is true. Liquid would have to be played by him too though; the whole clone thing and all. But don't worry: Bale is British, so he can do the accent!

*Spitfire* · 09-30-2007, 10:18 PM

Great actor, but video game movies have the rep of the black plague to me. I'll read some reviews before seeing this one.

He's played Twins before, so I think he'll be fine.

That was a bit different, he'd be doing alot more talking to himself in this movie. Then again I don't see why he'd need to play Liquid. I mean for one they were voiced by two different guys in the game and two they looked different enough for them to be able to have another actor do it.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-01-2007, 12:08 AM

I think Metal Gear definitely has a lot of things workign in it's favor as a movie, especially if Kojima is directly involved, which I understand he is.

**GK Punk** · 10-01-2007, 12:10 AM

I'm not a huge fan of the games, but I think it could loan it's self perfectly to a movie. I'd really like to see it.

The game is already a movie. I don't see any transitioning problems at all. But seriously, what else is there to tell? The series is ending with Guns of the Patriots.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-01-2007, 07:39 AM

It'll probably be an adaption of one of the games.

And Snake and Liquid would have to be played by the same actor because they are clones of the same person; they're genetically identical (Why they have different voices I don't know).

愛 · 10-01-2007, 12:52 PM

As long as they don't pick MGS2. Oh man, was that story bad.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-01-2007, 12:54 PM

Yeah. The ending felt as if the game was making fun of me.

愛 · 10-01-2007, 01:08 PM

You mean when the Japanese girls were posing on the map during that "weird" sequence? Yeah, I didn't even know what I was playing anymore. I thought I was playing a hentai game.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-01-2007, 01:18 PM

That, and when I realised that 75% of the plot points and characters had contributed absolutely nothing to the storyline.

愛 · 10-01-2007, 01:21 PM

Now that I think about it, I don't even know what that game was about anymore. Something about a Metal Gear? And a homo with a really ugly girlfriend?

*ZariusTwo* · 10-01-2007, 02:39 PM

It wasnt even "clever" audience mocking either like the comic series "Wanted"

*Dr. Doom* · 10-01-2007, 03:07 PM

Great game. Certainly confusing, though. There's usualy a short period of time right after I beat it where I understand what's happened. But it eventually escapes me again until the next time I decide to play. Make it sort of interesting like that, too, rediscovering stuff that you forgot because there's not enough room in your brain for everything that's going on.

Movies now days are all changed from their original versions, and
its really does'nt matter if the series is ending, which its not, Solid Snake's story will be over.
(there will be more Metal Gear games eventually w/or without Kojima or Snake, he said it himself.)

Now that they are making a movie, the change could be for the better.
Especially in the case of MGS2, which people will not have to worry about until the sequel comes out.
(["Metal Gear Solid"2009] will most definately be about Metal Gear REX, that much has been confirmed...)

being a movie, they can change anything...
You can't guarantee Solid & Liquid Snake will be clones.
they might just be normal twin brothers, or just brothers,
in which case you would not need 1 actor to play both roles.
Thats just unessessary...
