It's finally becoming a reality, a Metal Gear movie now currently in production. It's an idea that's been toyed with for years on end, but a number a questions about it have never been answered. Some of those questions are based around the fact that a lot of game to movie film adaptations are done poorly, while another question circles around wondering which Metal Gear game storyline will be used in the first place. Yet the biggest concern of all is how do you make a transition from game to movie and still make it a masterpiece. Fans of the Metal Gear game series know full and well, how awesome the cinema sequences are in Metal Gear, and it's an absolutely big issue to take that tradition and translate it over to the big screen. That's not a problem, according to Hideo Kojima that is.
Recently there was an event taking place in Tokyo, Japan to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Metal Gear game franchise. At that event, Kojima had with him, the founder and CEO of Marvel Studios, Avi Arad. You may know that name well, as he assisted in the production of hit movies like SpiderMan 2, and Iron Man. He has been renowned for his work in taking a comic book icon, and porting it over the the box office, and has hailed video games as being "the comic books of today". That statement holds true since the Metal Gear game series is also well known for its long and very involving cinema sequences. It's no wonder fans have been hammering their heads for so long over the simple "idea" of a Metal Gear game based movie, and not any real talk or motivation to make one a reality. Kojima is also a fan of movies like The Dark Knight, and mister Batman himself, Christian Bale has shown a desire to play the character of our beloved long time friend Solid Snake. He does seem to fit the bill, with multiple movies playing a lone caped crusader with an appetite for bringing his enemies down.
It doesn't stop there of course, since Avi Arad has also assisted in the production of the X-Men movies, the idea of using Hugh Jackman, mister "Wolverine" himself, has also been suggested from what I've heard recently. As to which one would pull off playing the role as Solid Snake is another matter, as some like Bale more, while others prefer Jackman. A former Wolverine character does match Solid Snake's personality, at least to a degree, and of course he does happen to know Avi Arad personally since they both worked on the X-Men movies. If he picks Jackman for Snake's role, I can't say I would blame him for it.
Now the new question that still hasn't been decided and answered is of course, which Metal Gear game storyline will be used for a live movie? Even though the Metal Gear franchise has been going on for 25 long years, it didn't take off like some people realize until the introduction of "Metal Gear Solid", way back in 1998. From that point we had massive storyline telling and cinema sequences to watch, now that we had better technology to illustrate it all. So do we use the original Metal Gear Solid, Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater, or Guns of the Patriots storyline to add to Solid Snake's role? Now that we have a full on Metal Gear game based movie in production, that's the biggest question that has yet to be answered. Watch the trailers below and then comment on which storyline do you like the most and want to see put in a movie.
