Metal Gear Solid movie producer on adaptation philosophy, current status |
Ó
Since it's still under tight wraps, we can only guess that the Metal Gear Solid movie isn't far in development two years after we've first heard of it. Unfortunately, during an interview, producer Mike De Luca who's got a plethora of films under his belt after 23 years in the industry couldn't stress it out enough that the movie is not even in the position yet to kick things off. The good thing? Solid Snake's silver screen appearance seems to be in good hands, and we may hear solid information in less than two months from now.
It's difficult not to be excited after De Luca detailed his approach in adapting a video game. He explained that taking the Metal Gear Solid series to the movies is akin to bringing books to life, saying "whenever youÂ’re adapting from another medium for film you try to take into account what you need to do to make it a movie."
De Luca intends to honor the original material's storyline the way Mortal Kombat did by adopting the game's DNA and give it "its own cinematic identity so even if you donÂ’t play the game... youÂ’ll come out of that movie feeling like you did at the end of 'The Matrix' or the end of 'Robocop'". He feels that filmmakers have set the bar low for video game-based movies by taking it easy since they expect fans to swarm theaters anyway, and said he plans to break the mold.
While De Luca revealed that the script is already done, he only dropped a few hints about the Metal Gear Solid movie's plot. He made it clear that the story won't be a rip-off, focused on the Cain and Able relationship between Solid Snake and Liquid Snake and their father who should be the Big Boss.
Furthermore, the upcoming stealth action movie's producer expressed his thoughts on Hideo Kojima's work. He was quoted saying:
ThereÂ’s so much story in Metal Gear as opposed to other video games that I think itÂ’s going to be a challenge but itÂ’s an upscale problem to have some much thematic subtexts and story material to draw from so I think we have a leg up already in that itÂ’s such a rich universe.
Kojima is like George Lucas in terms of creating this universe... about war by proxy in this kind of future where war has been outsourced to private companies .

well it seems like his head is at least in it, but not to sure how he will go on to produce this great game addaptation
I rather have the real voices from the game for this movie. I don't want to call it Metal Gear Sloppy: Movie
I hope they make the movie right with great fitting actors. The story is so long that I can't see how they could really do it justice without making sequels just to cover Metal Gear Solid 1. I hope it becomes a big success like the game is.
