I am a Metal Gear Solid nut. Get Jon Woo to co-direct with Michael Bay and it can't go wrong! Slo-motion, explosions, epic car chases, epic artsy slo-motion shoot outs, some T.N.A., and Andrew Dice Clay as Solid Snake, OH!

Nobody is yet in place on the directorial or casting front, but expect the usual Hemsworth / Gosling / Hardy / Jackman / Bale rumours to soon begin in earnest. A movie adaptation of a videogame… who'd have thought it?

When was the last time John Woo made a good flick? The Hulk?
The Metal Gear games are already in a cinematic form when you play them and with some flushing out I think they could make a good movie but I would expect it to have a huge budget based on the storylines in the games.
Yeah this thing is a movie already which is one of the reasons I stopped playing it, too many damn cut scenes. They should be able to get a movie out of this perfectly fine. The problem with casting Snake is that who ever plays Snake has to be able to play 3 different roles, including the villain role. Although for the first movie he would only need to play 2 roles (Solid & Liquid). I'm hoping we get Psycho Mantis as one of the Foxhound villains. His fight in PS1 was classic. Oh and Revolver Ocelot is a must.
I was actually hoping they would go back to the original NES and call it METAL GEAR, as Hanzo said the later games are already very cinematic...
I'm not a gamer or anything so I don't know much about this except for the tv commercials which of course make it look badass.
Here's my nomination for the lead....Joe Manganiello. He looks like he can pull that rugged look you expect from a merc
