    One of my favorite actors, one of my favorite gaming companies.

    I'm not asking for one of my favorite movies, but maybe one of my favorite game-movies?

    Really? This is like, the third or fourth movie in recent memory (although I can't remember specifically which titles - Dante's Inferno is the only one that immediately comes to mind) in which a movie deal is signed before the game even releases.

    What if the game bombs hard? Do you think anybody's going to go see a movie - regardless of its quality - based on a game that did miserably? Sure, you'll have those that have no idea that it was a game/have never played the game, and the two people who actually enjoyed it, but is that really the target audience?

    @IamNinja: It happens with books all the time. Just because they acquire the rights, it doesn't mean the movie will be made ... it's a preemptive thing to stop other production houses from getting the rights just in case it turns out to be a hit.

    First thought that comes to mind:

    Modern Day The Rocketeer

    I mean really just replace Nazis with Aliens and there you go.

    @Taggart6: I don't always drink beer, but when I do...: Yes, the Rocketeer of our era is exactly what I think too.

    I don't think we've seen aliens as part of the game, but rather very stylized robots. They remind me of certain robots from Batman: The Animated Series. I wish I could find a reference to it. Maybe I'm wrong about the aliens.

    @ngork: Says aliens in the movie plot posted above.

    Though I think its robot created by aliens or alien robots or something like that.

    Since Kojima himself said he would never let someone like Uwe Boll touch MGS, I don't think Anderson has any chances to get his paws on it either.

    Besides, I honestly have no interest whatsoever in finding out how he would ''adapt'' the plot so that he could make his wife the main character.. #videogamemovies

    @GE128: My memory could be wrong, or I could've read a bad translation, but I'm fairly sure it was saying specifically that Uwe Boll would never touch MGS.

    Now if that's exactly what Kojima originally said/meant, I have no idea.
    I just know that's what I remember reading. #videogamemovies

    Only if we get a god of a director to direct the movie, and not some fucked up Uwe Bollesque guy.

    And even then, I'm still only for the MGS movie.

    I think James Cameron should direct Metal Gear Solid since Kojima ripped off Kyle Reese :) #videogamemovies

    @Str8_Jihadin: im pretty sure kojima has said outright what movies he did take from, and i don't think terminator was one of them.

    i also like cameron, but he'd never do it. he is the greatest sci-fi director of all time though. #videogamemovies

    @Str8_Jihadin:

    The cover art for Snake on the original NES Metal Gear was based on Kyle Reese.

    The character was based more on Snake from John Carpenter's "Escape from New York."

    Does this mean that Carpenter should do it? Oh, god, no. No, no, a thousand times no.

    Kojima should direct, and if not him, well...

    To be honest, I think video game movie adaptations are a bad idea, period. I can't imagine ANY director making MGS anything but a ridiculous, awful charicature of itself on the big screen. The history of game movies supports me here. #videogamemovies

    The only person I want adapting the Metal Gear Solid games into Films, is Hideo Kojima and David Hayter. I don't care what's been said on record, David Hayter HAS to be involved. He pretty much helps make the whole thing come alive, even when I play METAL GEAR, I can imagine his voice saying what Snake is "texting" xD #videogamemovies
