metal gear solid movie in developement at Sony Pictures

[jpuma1]

i'm actually pretty surprised i haven't seen this on the forums

they announced that the Metal Gear Solid live-action movie is in developement over at Sony Pictures. Kojima sold over the rights to Sony and will be taking an executive producer role.

so the great debate between the fanboys begins: who should be cast as solid snake?

Personally I HATE people's choice of fairy boy Hugh Jackman. To me, the perfect choice would be Sean Bean.

You know they have talked about this for a while but I don't think it's going to live up to the game's reputation. I'm interested.

The game is half movie. What would the purpose be?

I'm more interested in Crazy Taxi

 

[Dr Mario Kart]

Sounds like another Spirits Within in the making

Why live-action? Why not just make the whole movie CGI and keep the voice actors?

EGM had a little blurb that lots of video games are going to be put out as movies as a way for publishers to help recoup part of the massive dev costs of the current gen systems. But isn't it pretty much just as hard to make big money on a movie as it is on a video game? Kind of had me scratching my head. (Unless the video game people are just going to license the IPs to studios who will take on all of the risk of the movie flopping I guess.)
