The 29th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards were held over the weekend, and as expected, Mike Myers and his cinematic abominaton The Love Guru won big. But career video game "filmmaker" Uwe Boll didn't go home empty-handed.

He won the award for Worst Director, courtesy of three of his films for the year (Postal, Tunnel Rats & Dungeon Siege, which picked up 5 nominations), but perhaps more fittingly was also given a Razzie "Worst Achievement Award" for his career's work. The award labels Boll "Germany's answer to Ed Wood".

Which is about as fitting a label as you're going to get for the man.

When it comes to the big screen adventure, Arad said the plan is to mix things up a little bit. In the game, the action moves very quickly to the island, but the film will open things up a bit and add some depth before the island adventure.

So, more talking, more sexual tension, less gunplay. Avrad also stresses that Nathan Drake is not just another Indiana Jones clone, saying "Indiana Jones was always a good guy and he relentlessly did the right thing. Drake is a guy who's being hauled over to virtue throughout the game". The story should at least make for a half-decent popcorn flick, but wasn't the main appeal of the game the fact it already felt like a movie?

Deviation, a machinima from Hard Light Films, proves that there's always a pill in every group. Or, as they describe it:

The short film 'Deviation' was shot using an online game engine with the virtual actors and director never having met one another.

Macintyre, an online-game character and member of a four-man counter-terrorist squad, attempts to break out of the cycle of futile violence that has been his sole existence.
Dropped into the middle of a mission and faced with the prospect of climbing into an ambush at the end of a manhole tunnel, Macintyre strives to convince the other squad members that there is another way...

It's actually very well done. Go check it out.

Coming at the end at a largely humorous fake E3 Kojima Products catalog, a one page article on the upcoming film was spotted, which was then confirmed by Kojima himself:

After assuring readers at length that German director Uwe Boll will not have anything to do with the project, as rumored, Kojima talked about the film. "I have received many offers to adapt Metal Gear Solid. It has taken a long time, but we have finally settled on an arrangement," said the revered designer. "False facts aside, a movie project is underway. I have finalized a Class-A contract with a party in Hollywood."

No other details such as studio, budget, producer, director, actors or release date are forthcoming. It's possible that Kojima has simply signed away the option... if so, the Doom movie is good evidence that a Metal Gear Solid film may not be released for another decade. Still, with the Metal Gear Solid games becoming increasingly cinematic, this seems like a natural movie for a new Hollywood action property.

Anderson won't actually be directing this time around, though. Highlander director Russell Mulcahy will be directing the third film. Don't bother getting excited — while it is true that Mulcahy directed the pretty great Highlander Part 1, he wasted all future geek cred by directing the stinky, horrible Highlander Part II. Otherwise known as "They were aliens all along..."

I hate to admit it, but I kind of like Anderson's throwaway sci-fi/horror films. AVP was terrible, but Soldier and Event Horizon are guilty pleasures, and the first Resident Evil film was a lot better than it had any right to be. Between Mulcahy and Anderson, maybe this third one will be watchable.
