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_dols5027d ago (Edited 5027d 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!

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

cyclonus0075026d ago

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

doogiebear5026d 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 5027d ago

hopefully the movie wont get cancelled

ScubaSteve15027d ago

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

Summons755027d ago

ScubaSteve15027d ago

clearly i did and he was god awful in it

wishingW3L5027d ago

Doom was godawful indeed.

Moby-Royale5027d ago (Edited 5027d 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.

AO1JMM5027d ago

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

doogiebear5027d ago

David Hayter is writing it? Seriously?

RmanX10005027d ago

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

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney5027d ago (Edited 5027d ago )

Perfect lead character!

Hideo Kojima admits Metal Gear Solid motion capture was “trial and error”

Hideo writes: "We experimented with magnetic motion capture in "Metal Gear Solid: Integral", and in MGS2, we adopted optical motion capture for the first time. Was the shooting done about 25 years ago? Well, back then, everything was trial and error, but every day felt fresh and exciting."

It's not going to be the same without him regardless so honestly it would probably be better just to try to do your own thing while staying in the same genre and general gameplay style.

just_looken644d ago

This but also the story is wrapped up only thing to expanded on is another mgs rising or spin offs.

-Foxtrot644d ago

I mean they could have done an alternate timeline directly after MGS2 which just tells a new story, that way they get to continue Snakes journey while respecting Kojimas final chapter, his Universe would still be untouched.

Maybe in this new game Snake didn't age

They will eventually try to continue the story, it's a given so I'd rather have them doing an alternative timeline than messing with what Kojima has done.

just_looken644d ago

@Foxtrot

You mean before shadow moses as that is when he was injected with fox die anyone knows that.

If they went this route then it would open up a flood gate of crap the topics they covered the deaths blood scenes would never work in today's modern games.

TheProfessional644d ago (Edited 644d ago )

The story in metal gear solid 4 was already a huge step down from the first three. Then the story in V was minimized and totally forgettable. One of Kojimas art directors could definitely make a solid metal gear sequel.

Also when you compare Stranding to Kojimas previous games he could easily be a Neil Druckman type where most of his best ideas were from people he worked with.

For example all of the MGS covers and the art style associated with Metal Gear wasn't even created by Kojima.

just_looken644d ago

comparing Neil Druckman ahole coffee fetcher to someone that worked in the industry from the days of msx should get you a ban.

Michiel1989643d ago

just cause he made one game that you didn't completely like?

just_looken643d ago (Edited 643d ago )

@Michiel1989

Because he took a ip that he had no right to say he created but does then at every interview he act's he is the father of naughty dog and a god at game development even the tvshow i will not watch.

People that worked there sense the 90's crash days were thrown out over 85% from the last count 2 years ago of the original team is gone majority left when he took over.

Sony looked at all the people that made jax/crash/uncharted/tlou leaving naughty dog went meh then praised neil gave him the keys to the kingdom. Sense then the entire team has been a dam joke they only made 1 new game in 6 years just a port studio now.

Oh i also like the tlou2 mp mode they promised that was changed then cancelled but hey tlou2 ported 3rd time for pc pay pay pay again like skyrim.

Fuck ND fuck naughty dog 2.0

Michiel1989643d ago

mate... you already compared him to a guy that was 16 years older than him and then ask why he hasnt worked in the industry as long as kojima. Time exists.

Do you really think all of ND will let Neill flaunt around if he didn't have a severe impact on how the game turned out? So you're saying the rest of ND is stupid that they're playing along with his masterplan to take over ND.

It's pretty obvious from your comment you're just salty about tlou2. You didn't like a direction he took the game in, stop acting like he's a terrible human being.

So they should keep making the games they make now and never make anything else...cause thats how uncharted and Horizon came about, oh wait. TLOU would never have existed if you had your way, they would be making jak n dexter 13. I rather have them try something new and fail at it than never try to do anything else ever.

I think someone could take the torch, but they’d really have to be a mega fan and understand the narrative and quirkiness and humor of MGS and just Kojima’s design principles. Make bosses that revolve around “themes” and “gimmicks” and bring freaking David Hayter back for the English dub.

Tankbusta40644d ago

I have been saying for years that Kojima is not needed to continue this franchise. Revolver Ocelot could have a trilogy on his own with the established lore and it would be fantastic

MehmetAlperTR644d ago

No Hideo ! No MGS !!! Just try to work with him.
