Metal Gear Solid's creator, Hideo Kojima, has released a few interesting quotes regarding a big screen adaption of the popular video game.

Kojima confirmed the movie was being made, saying: "We're going to do it as a movie. A Hollywood movie" He later added, "I can't say when yet".

The video game follows soldiers who're protecting hostages and a nuclear weapon while trying to take back a military base captured by genetically enhanced soldiers.

"I have received many offers to adapt Metal Gear Solid," said Kojima. "It has taken a long time, but we have finally settled on an arrangement. False facts aside, a movie project is underway. I have finalized a Class-A contract with a party in Hollywood".

No word yet on who the party is.

Shocker. A video game being adapted to be a big screen crap-fest.

Like Silent Hill I am sure Metal Gear will be a good movie. Of course everyone did not like silent hill but those who understand it loved it. If they stay true to the game the gamers will love it. It seems lately that with the right people video game movies can be done properly. The gamers not the critics are the true judge of video game movies. So bring on MGS I can't wait. Maybe Viggo Mortenson could be Snake he hasn't done anything good lately.

I love this type of thing, and yet I couldn't care less about this movie. Why is that?

I think Konami will be very selective when it comes to a director. Uwe Boll has had such horrible luck with movies there is no way such a big property as MGS would be given such a disgrace. I think eventhough he kind of wants to be in the back ground, Hideo Kojima will have creative control. That is the only way the movie can be as good as the games I have come to love.

Kojima-San already said Uwe Bol is NOT touching MGS.
